It can be very easy for a true-crime docuseries, especially one on true events, to become a beacon of pride for the killer rather than justice for victims. In the Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer series by Netflix, the four episodes brought together with interviews, real footage, and honest conversations on being a […]

Now, we're getting a look at the first official teaser for the Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet-executive-produced series. And while the series is set […]

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: […]
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 […]
This week, FOX's Prodigal Son brought us a powerful episode with blood shed, familial intrigue, and for me a deep appreciation for the manipulation tactics of Dr. Whitley (Michael Sheen). Nothing gets an episode going like the discovery of bodies found in a junk yard, MO? Crushed in cars while still alive, did the killer […]
In what appears to be a very trippy episode of FOX's Prodigal Son, Bright (Tom Payne) continues to come undone. Clearly watching the evidence video for confirmation that his mother did not know about The Surgeon's (Michael Sheen) crimes didn't help him get closure – if anything, it added layers to his psychological turmoil. With […]
This week episode of FOX's Prodigal Son brought us a heart-wrenching chapter that had me holding my breath at least a half-dozen times. Malcolm (Tom Payne) succumbs to emotional bloodletting by demanding answers about his past, the girl in the box, and his mother's knowledge of The Surgeon's crimes. His psyche begins to come undone, and […]
Nailed It! Up to this point in FOX's Prodigal Son, it's been more and more brutally evident that Jessica (Bellamy Young) at a minimum knew that her husband was a serial killer yet looked the other way – something we called at the beginning of the season (and in last week's review). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRo7QIwu_rI "Prodigal Son" […]
Next week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son looks to build off the series' strong start with… a quadruple homicide? How exciting! Detective Gil (Lou Diamond Phillips) – as expected – has Bright (Tom Payne) on board as a consultant. Of course, he's making that decision against the wishes of the other detectives – who seem […]
