Recap: Naked and Afraid: “Fear The Unknown” Season 5, Episode 2

Hop aboard the party plane, N&A fans (can we call ourselves Nudies or something?): we’re heading to Belize for Naked and Afraid: “Fear the Unknown”. And on this three-week vacation, we’re not going to the Belize Barrier Reef or the amazing Great Blue Hole, we’re heading inland to the jungle. It’s gonna be humid in Central America, and when Naked and Afraid goes to the moist places, you and this week’s survivalists can look forward to bugs, bugs and more bugs! And also big scary stuff like Tapirs and jaguars and poisonous frogs, black widow spiders and snakes. And also […]

The Affair Season 2 episode 2 recap: Meanwhile, in the Hudson Valley …

Call this episode of Showtime’s The Affair — in which we get Alison’s and Cole’s take events of last week’s episode, and a disturbingly better idea of what may have happened to Scotty — for Joshua Jackson. By turns chilling and heartrendingly sympathetic as the beaten-down Cole, he is as mesmerizing as Maura Tierney was as the resolute Helen last week. No worries about a sophomore slump for Sarah Treem’s stunning psychological study with these two at the forefront, and Dominic West and Ruth Wilson as good as ever. We begin at Noah’s damn-near-cliché writers retreat by the Hudson, where he is late for that […]

“Fear: Buried Alive” is for real – 3 people to be buried, monitored in TV experiment

Originally I thought we had Edgar Allan Poe to thank for the fear surrounding being buried alive, as he penned several stories around the macabre topic. Many movies have depicted the dark, claustrophobic terror as well, leaving us with long-lasting nightmares (think Ryan Reynolds in Buried — don’t worry, this one’s not a major spoiler). TV has touched on the subject, too. The Following‘s Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) started a cult of Poe-inspired killers and buried an FBI agent alive in one episode. The fear of being buried alive isn’t just dramatized fiction. Google the topic and you’ll find plenty of […]

The Knick Season 2 — Steven Soderbergh’s medical marvel returns to Cinemax

If you’re a fan of director Steven Soderbergh’s beautifully rendered, Emmy-nominated period drama The Knick (and if you’re not, trust me, you should be), you know that no one was faring well when we left them at the end of Season 1. • RELATED: The Knick: Cinemax presents a lively look at race, sex and medicine in 1900s New York A cocaine-addled and guilt-ridden Dr. John Thackery (Golden Globe nominee Clive Owen) checked himself into a sort of turn-of-the-century rehab where the treatment du jour is the Bayer Company’s newest wonder drug — heroin.

Fargo Season 2: The Next Chapter

Fargo is more than a town. “The word itself is so evocative of a place, the tundra where civilization meets the wilderness,” says series executive producer, showrunner and director Noah Hawley. “It’s evocative of a kind of story, a true-crime story that isn’t true, where truth is stranger than fiction.” When Fargo premiered last season on FX, the limited-run series, based loosely on the Coen brothers’ 1996 Oscar-winning film, became a runaway hit, a critical darling and a magnet for accolades — including a whopping 18 Emmy nominations. But if you worry about the series facing a sophomore slump, don’t. […]

Interview: Alfonso Ribeiro and Vin Di Bona on a new era of America’s Funniest Home Videos

If new America’s Funniest Home Videos host Alfonso Ribeiro is even a little nervous about inheriting the gig from his pal Tom Bergeron, following Bergeron’s 14-year tenure with the show, well, you’d never know it by looking at him. Same goes for the show’s proud creator, Vin Di Bona, who is putting his signature series through its most dramatic (don’t worry, moms and dads. It’s not that dramatic) revamp since the show debuted to smash ratings in 1989. Standing a few feet apart at a summer ABC cocktail reception, both men attributed their serenity to one reassuring notion: America’s Funniest Home Videos — AFV for short — is and always has […]

Rachel Bloom Sparkles In The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

There are two schools of people: those who wish that life could spontaneously erupt into a musical production number, and those who don’t. “And those people who don’t should all die in a fire,” deadpans Rachel Bloom, the star, co-creator and executive producer of The CW’s hilarious new comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. In the series, Bloom’s character — you guessed it — launches into elaborate musical productions, including one where she soars above a crowd, riding a giant pretzel.
