Empire Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: Making History

On the last episode of Empire, Cookie got frisky with her new head of security, Laz. Now it looks like she decided to do her work from Laz’s bed instead of actually showing up in the office. In fact, she hasn’t left his bed in three days. I don’t know if that’s romantic or creepy. I’m also still confused as to how she hasn’t seen this huge longhorn on his back — or be OK with it, if she has. After all, they did kidnap her son. At least Cookie comes up with the idea to host a summer jam […]

Action

AMC’s genre-bending “Into the Badlands” lives by the sword

It’s hard to pin a label on AMC’s new six-part action drama series Into the Badlands, premiering Sunday, Nov. 15, at 10pm ET/PT. It has the dystopian future politics of The Hunger Games. It has the antiheroes of Westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It has the warrior’s spiritual journey of Kung Fu. It has themes of family bloodlines and ambition like in Game of Thrones or Shakespeare’s history plays. It has the moral codes of classic samurai films, and fight sequences reminiscent of The Matrix and Hong Kong martial arts movies. Into the Badlands fuses together […]

Discovery Channel Alaskan Bush People recap: Block and Tackle

Go Here For All Of Your Fish-Punching Alaskan Bush People Needs! Do the Alaskan Bush People get paid? We asked! Read our interview with the Brown family. “If they can stay alive. It will be the biggest summer of their lives,” says our dear narrator. No, he’s not talking about some new teen slasher movie. He’s talking about Season 3 of Alaskan Bush People, premiering on Discovery Channel Wednesday, Nov. 11, with “Block and Tackle,” which disappointingly has nothing to do with football. But it has everything to do with summertime in Southeast Alaska. The Brown kids while away the days in flights […]

Survivor recap episode 8: How did they not plan for an immunity idol?

Survivor: Second Chance recap “You Call, We’ll Haul,” Season 31, Episode 8 (original airdate Nov. 11): It’s day 20 and we’re down to 12. “Brilliant plan. Executed to perfection,” Andrew Savage tells Jeremy. He’s referring to voting off Kass.

Reward Challenge Two teams of six were formed. They need to paddle and navigate a row boat, while grabbing some obnoxiously sized crates and then stack them in a puzzle pattern onshore. […]

The Bastard Executioner episode 9 recap: “The Bernadette Maneuver”

It would be easier to accept that there is but one more episode of The Bastard Executioner Season 1 if a Season 2 was confirmed and there weren’t so much ground left to cover. • The Bastard Executioner Season 1 recaps: Episode 1  and 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 |Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 Yes, I know … plenty of folks have railed against the show’s proudly bold blending of history and fiction, Annora’s weird accent and nature, and the brutality of the violence, particularly toward women.

Tonight on Discovery: Survival With A Twist On “Men Women Wild”

Tonight on Discovery, couples head to remote parts of the world to take on a 21-day survival challenge in Men Women Wild. If the premise sounds like Discovery’s smash series, Naked and Afraid, it is — to an extent. The six-episode series is produced by Renegade 83, the same production company behind Naked and Afraid, but once you get past the initial “2 people, 21-days,” the format takes a twist. First, the contestants aren’t nude. I give a big “Phew” on this one, because, how many pixilated body parts can one person watch? In this survival series, they have clothes. […]

Recap: Wicked City – Episode 3 (Should I Stay or Should I Go)

Recap: Wicked City Episode 3 “Should I Stay or Should I Go” – ABC, original airdate Tue. 11/10/15 (For all Wicked City recaps, click here.) This week’s episode of Wicked City had a lot less blood (no killing, but yet another head in a box) and even less music than last time (come ON, I had “Should I Stay or Should I Go” in my head all day today, and it wasn’t in the episode at all). The ratings on this show aren’t too great (but, if you’re keeping track at home, the networks are pretty much not canceling anything this season–at […]
