Showtime's critically-acclaimed drama series Billions returns this weekend with the season's third episode, "Beg, Bribe, Bully". This week, Chuck (Paul Giamatti) sees a benefit and opportunity in revisiting his past while Axe (Damian Lewis) has to put the brakes on his business dealings when a family crisis arises. Taylor (Asia Kate Dillon) continues walking the […]
This week's episode of FX's What We Do in the Shadows kept its momentum going with the season's third episode, "Brain Scramblies". The show managed to make me cringe in all the right ways as our favorite foursome of vampires ruins a few lives in honor of the "Superb Owl." The episode was just as […]
Freeform's mermaid fantasy Siren brought the residents of Bristol Cove back to our screens with a two-part, two episode third season opener that wasted no time deep-diving into the drama. Mermaid and new mom Ryn (Eline Powell) finds her bond with Ben (Alex Roe) and Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) being pulled in a number of directions. […]
AMC's Dispatches From Elsewhere continued blowing our minds last week with "Simone" (Eve Lindley), which focused on our art school graduate and (fingers crossed) one-half of what could one of the best couples on television (we're not letting this one go, people). Unfortunately, things didn't go too smooth between her and Peter (Jason Segal) – […]
Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul started out of the gate strong with two-part season 5 opener "Magic Man" and "50% Off" (check out our reviews here and here). Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) legally became Saul Goodman and then took him out for a courtroom test run – while in a flash-forward, Gene was forced to become […]
The fifth season of STARZ's Outlander already feels like we're heading towards the season finale – probably one of the best compliments we can give a series that's heading into only the third episode of its 12-episode season, "Free Will". We think most fans would agree: they've had a lot thrown at them in only two […]
Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul wasted no time putting its players into any number of morally and legally questionable situations (check out our reviews of "Magic Man" and "50% Off" here and here). Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) legally became Saul Goodman and then took him out for a courtroom test run (while in a flash-forward, Gene […]
Carrie (Claire Danes) and Saul (Mandy Patinkin) wasted little time before finding themselves knee-deep in international conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, as the eighth and final season of Showtime's Homeland heads into this week's "False Friends". Saul's path to Haqqani (Numan Acar) was met with some serious pushback, while Carrie dug up useful dirt dirt on Afghanistan […]
After a long week, I started watching Netflix's Locke & Key – and what a wonderful and magical escape it has been so far. The story was enthralling, filled with mystery, and a deep-dive into the fantastic. That said, I am not quite able to binge on it: no matter how much I want to […]
Having now shrugged off the whole "crossover/spinoff" tag, Lucy Hale's Katy Keene and the show named in her honor are wasting no time letting viewers know that it's its own show – thank you very much! In this week's "Chapter Three: What Becomes of the Broken Hearted", we have a belated Valentine's Day episode that […]
Showtime's second season of Jim Carrey, Michel Gondry, and Dave Holstein's award-winning and critically-acclaimed series Kidding continues finding a way to be the "quietest loud show" on television, with last week's two-episode opener driving that point home. The show's "quiet" in the performances, look, and overall vibe of the series: there's a gentleness and a […]
Adrian Pimento (Jason Mantzoukas) is back in this week's episode of NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, so I'm not sure much else needs to be said for how the episode goes. A loose cannon ex-detective now private PI experiences "Memento disease" according to Jake (Andy Samberg), just like that movie. You know – Finding Nemo? With his […]
NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine hit the ground running with last week's fine return to form, "Manhunter" & "Captain Kim" (check out our review here ). This week's episode "Pimemento" has us just as excited, because that means it's time for the return of Jason Mantzoukas' Adrian Pimento – former undercover NYPD detective and (last we knew) hand […]
Bleeding Cool's very own Brooklyn Nine-Nine "resident expert" Margo Staten is taking over the "case" of weekly reviewing the precinct's return to NBC. In fact, you can check out her review of series' return "Manhunter" & "Captain Kim" here. We're feeling like that was a great way to get her prepped for this week's episode […]
With only hours to go before The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow comes crashing onto east coast screens with "Slay Anything", the network's released a new teaser for the season's third episode (just like they did with tonight's The Flash) – except this time, no high school reunion stuff. This time, we get to check […]
We're not going to waste time with a retread of the reasons we're excited for this week's DC's Legends of Tomorrow, "Slay Anything" – not when we can use this moment to offer a cheap plug for our previous preview post (which you can check out here). We also don't want to keep you from […]
We've been saying all season long that one of the reasons why NBC's New Amsterdam works so well (and why it was given a sweet three-season upgrade) was its ability to expand the storyline spotlight to include the entire emsemble cast while not losing sight of Max's (Ryan Eggold) personal and professional struggles. Did we […]
We've said it before and we'll say it again: it felt only fitting that DC's Legends of Tomorrow kicked off their return to The CW with "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (thankfully, they decided to pick up the phone this time). Seeing our "Legends" kick-off their fifth season run with a "kinder, gentler" glorified Afterschool Special […]
As the "Stephen King-ification" of the world rolls along to our total and utter liking, HBO's adaptation of the author's bestseller The Outsider finally reached its January 12, 2020, premiere date – and what a two-episode premiere ("Fish in a Barrel"/"Roanoke") it was! But third episode "Dark Uncle" was the one we were waiting for […]
