Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 4 Recap: Need a hand?

On this week’s episode of Devious Maids, we finally find out who the severed leg found in the Powell’s garden belongs to. But before we get into the juicy details of the murder, let’s talk about Ernesto and Rosie reconnecting for the first time. This is the first time the two have met to talk since the wedding incident that left Rosie unconscious. Rosie shows Ernesto a picture of their boy, Miguel, and lets him know that he’s doing well. She’s just not too sure what to tell Miguel about Ernesto because she herself isn’t certain what the heck is going […]

5 Questions with Breeda Wool, who keeps the “Faith” in Lifetime’s UnREAL

However tempted you might be to feel sorry for Faith, the painfully insecure, churchly tomboy virgin on Lifetime’s Monday night The Bachelor sendup UnREAL, actress Breeda Wool, who plays her, hopes you’ll take a page from “Everlasting” suitor Adam’s playbook and have a little faith in Faith. “I’m very inexperienced at dating in general,” Wool explains of her character’s fish-out-of-water nature (secrets are looming!) — which makes her a natural target for Everlasting’s pitiless producers and her fellow contestants. “My grandmother, church and little country community really pushed me to go on the show so I could blossom as a […]

A Deadly Adoption: Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig’s Lifetime movie baby

A Deadly Adoption is a Lifetime movie about a man and his wife who welcome a pregnant woman (Jessica Lowndes) into their home, planning to adopt her baby. Simple enough, right? But this isn’t your ordinary cookie-cutter Lifetime domestic-murder-mystery movie thriller. This is the “secret” Lifetime movie project from Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig, which was “leaked” on April Fool’s Day and then abruptly canceled due to the leak. Well, A Deadly Adoption is back on, and it’s premiering on Lifetime Saturday, June 20, at 8pm ET/PT. Expect everything in this movie to be taken so seriously that it becomes […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 20 recap: Return of the Mack (Oh My God!)

Man, Tuesdays come around fast, don’t they Dance Moms nation? But we ended last week on a win, so maybe this week will finally be California sunshiney for a change? Yes? No. We don’t even make it into 3rd Street Dance before we’re comparing Abby to a big ol’ baby who doesn’t handle transition well. Well, I suppose. If the bootie fits. But anyway. And furthering my theory that Abby is a wily hostage of the DM producers and is going to make them pay but good for that, when Jill expresses surprise that she’s actually in the studio when […]

UnREAL recap episode 3 “Mother”: You feel judged, don’t you?

If you hadn’t already figured it out from the get-go, this week’s episode of UnREAL — fittingly called “Mother” — cements the notion that this show is not about who ends up winning Adam’s heart. Or even the contest to, er, craft that person. It’s about whom — male, female, behind the cameras or before them — might actually emerge with their mental and physical health and at least a shred of dignity and self-respect intact. If anyone does. And how little it takes for people to be perfectly awful to one another — family, friend, vulnerable stranger — even when […]

Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 3 Recap: I do, I don’t

On last Monday’s episode of Devious Maids we were left with the shocking news that Ernesto is still alive. In fact, he was on his way to find his wife Rosie, who happens to already be taken. We return to Devious Maids this week as we see Ernesto in the hospital questioning where Rosie is. The staff lets him know she’s no longer a patient but once he starts asking for personal information, they have to draw the line. A nurse calls Spence to let him know that a man from Mexico is looking for Rosie and that it’s urgent. […]

Dance Moms Season 5 episode 19 recap: I got 99 problems (but this itch ain’t one)

Well that was a short-lived respite, wasn’t it Dance Moms nation? What did everyone do with their Lonely Tuesday? According to Lifetime, tonight’s is actually episode 517, but I’ve done 18 recaps even before this bugger — and not counting the specials —  so if everyone could kindly just march along to the beat of my episode-count drummer so we all stay on the same parade route, I’d be grateful. We cool? Good. So anyway, ALDC L.A. starts today! Well, kind of. Everyone is in L.A. , but we’re still squatting at 3rd St. Dance. Jill says Abby is a big […]

UnREAL episode 2 recap: We’re having a ball! And a baby! And a funeral!

In last week’s UnREAL series premiere, we learned plenty of the not-so-secrets that got Rachel Goldberg booted from — and invited back to — the Everlasting set. This week, we learn that secrets abound in the Everlasting control room — and not just in Dr. Wagerstein’s folder. And they go a long way in explaining why some of these folks have no problem waging war on love for the sake of a paycheck. Namely, their own broken hearts. We start the episode with an interesting lesson in on-the-fly hygiene from the intrepid Rachel (toothpaste as pit-freshener!) who has apparently taken up […]

Devious Maids Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: A blast from the past and new beginnings

On this episode of Devious Maids, things only seem to get weirder and weirder — especially when we’re dealing with the Stappord family. For whatever reason, Blanca stays at the Stappord’s house after to clean up the mess after she’s just discovered what looks like a murder scene. As she’s scrubbing hard at the carpet, she’s praising Mrs. Stappord for how brave she is. (Am I the only one who was yelling at Blanca to stop this ridiculousness and open her eyes?) Apparently Taylor told Blanca that a robber broke into the house and she only had a short amount of time to […]
