"I just want to find my sister." Fair enough. I just want Eve (Molly Griggs) dead – is that wrong? That's where my head's at heading into next week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son – where everyone's wanting something. Possibly beheaded like the title might be eluding too, or is she the world-freer? We now know […]
This week's episode "Stranger Beside You" was a disappointing one for FOX's Prodigal Son. The whole episode felt like it had a perpetual "flat" vibe – way too much like a standard procedural. With plots like baby stealing, a dead husband, and the expectation of finally finding out who "The Girl in the Box" was, […]
Next week's return episode of FOX's Prodigal Son finds Dr. Whitly (Michael Sheen) waking up from his coma, so at least Jessica (Bellamy Young) is off the hook for murder – but Martin is not done with her. Bright (Tom Payne) urges him to tell the NYPD that she was forced to stab him by […]
FOX's Prodigal Son "Death's Door" finally gave us a face to the "Girl in the Box" and the inner workings of her capture, and to a very catchy tune. The Surgeon (Michael Sheen) proves smooth in his opportunistic hunting and exceptional at improving – especially when Jessica (Bellamy Young) comes home – as he is […]
A thrilling episode of FOX's Prodigal Son, I've been anticipating a reunion between Jessica (Bellamy Young) and Martin Whitly (Michael Sheen), and it played out beautifully with Malcolm (Tom Payne) intercepting and stabbing his father. After a much-needed two-week vacation in the Caribbean, Bright is back and knee deep in a sadistic vengeful killer dead […]
As if dealing with a brilliant-yet-serial-killer-ex and a son with some twisted issues of his own wasn't enough, Jessica (Bellamy Young) will be face-to-face with a ghost from her past during the March 30 episode of FOX's Prodigal Son. Dermot Mulroney (The Righteous Gemstones) is set to recur during the season's final five episodes as […]
I honestly thought that the "Girl in the Box" had been pushed to the back burner with all the chaos happening around the Whitlys on FOX's Prodigal Son, but apparently on this week's "Eye of the Needle" the investigation is underway. Jessica (Bellamy Young) find herself in a nightmare – caught in the crossfires and […]
There was much to celebrate on this week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son: the Whitly family is back together – and getting some collective screen time together, too! Dr. Whitly aka "The Surgeon" (Michael Sheen) is finally out of solitary for saving a member of the ward and getting his TV and phone privileges back […]

After being tortured, stabbed, and visited by Internal Affairs to establish his sanity over several episodes of FOX's Prodigal Son, Bright's (Tom Payne) urged by Gil (Lou Diamond Philips) takes a mandated vacation, sort off. Clearly his leave of absence is cut short; pulled away from leisure under duress, or because he couldn't resist profiling […]
FOX's Prodigal Son does an amazing job taking the viewer on a roller-coaster of emotions, and Internal Affairs did not disappoint. After last week's intense and horrifying winter premier full of action, blood, and revelations, this week was all emotionally driven while highlighting Bright's (Tom Payne) skill set. During a battle of wits, Bright yet […]

Apparently, all to see who Dr. Whitly's […]
I desperately needed some alone time after watching the winter return of FOX's Prodigal Son; in shock at the sheer craziness of the episode it left me with my jaw wide open and repulsed and horrified in a good way. As has been the case lately, once again trh series did not disappoint. After leaving […]
FOX's crime procedural/serial killer thriller Prodigal Son returns Monday for the second-half of its first season run, and considering the midseason finale ended with Bright (Tom Payne) kidnapped by the "Junkyard Killer" (Michael Raymond-James) you'd understand why viewers are more than interested in seeing how it all plays out. Oh… we left out an important fact: […]
In exciting anticipation, the winter premiere of FOX's Prodigal Son is finally around the corner. The mid-season ended with Bright (Tom Payne) kidnapped by the 'Junkyard Killer' (Michael Raymond-James), Dr. Whitley's (Michael Sheen) protégé, so has he been holding up?

Dolittle is not a good film. Let's get that out of the way right off the bat. Mired in development hell and release date changing and everything else bad that comes along with releasing a film, all of those problems are evident onscreen. A new take on the property sees Dolittle (Robert Downey Jr.) and […]
If you haven't added FOX's Prodigal Son to your "Must View" list (I mean, there's a reason it made The Bleeding Cool TV Top 10 Best of 2019), then here are five reasons you need to binge watch the Michael Sheen–Tom Payne-starrer before it returns on Monday, January 20th: ● Murder, brutal grotesque murder; crime […]
Once upon a time… working for television was labelled a "demotion," a professional death sentence for actors whose careers were considered on a no-way-back downward spiral. Today, actors of all ages and experiences (especially women and actors of color) have found more opportunities to practice their craft and tell their stories (and be recognized for […]
