After a year of waiting, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is finally coming back! This August, the longest-running live-action sitcom is returning with its eighteenth season. Ahead of the premiere, FX has released a synopsis for what the upcoming episodes will cover. (Patrick McElhenney/FX) In this article, we’re breaking down everything covered by the teaser,

My Life With the Walter Boys is FINALLY back! That means we’ll find out what happened to George and get ready for 10 all-new episodes about Jackie’s ongoing attempt to fit in with the Walters as she figures out who she is and who she wants to be. The new trailer just dropped, and some

As a millennial who grew up watching “SNL”in the years that Will Ferrell rose through its ranks, I’m always ready to dive head-first into any of his new projects. (My “Old School” viewings alone have probably hit triple digits by now, and my love for “Eurovision Song Contest” grows exponentially every time I hear “Jaja

It’s been an interesting first week of Big Brother Season 28. The long-running reality TV juggernaut brought in 14 new houseguests in a house with three reality TV legends. We’ve already gotten a showmance and some wild nominations, and we’re now looking ahead to the rest of the week. (CBS/Screenshot) Dee Valladares won the crucial

Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie was heartwarming and wholesome. It expanded on the Ingalls’ experiences in Kansas in such an enjoyable manner. It also expanded on the cast and characters, which was one of the best changes from the book. However, that change may have been bittersweet. (Eric Zachanowich/Netflix) I grew attached to several

Max Cady does not need to be in the room to ruin your life. That is the whole point of Apple TV’s Cape Fear, and Javier Bardem has made sure we understand it by the end of the very first episode. This version of Cady stripped away the cartoonish theatrics of past incarnations and replaced

We had a lot of catching up to do when the Big Brother live feeds finally opened Friday evening. As TV Fanatic previously reported, Dee won the first Head of Household competition of the summer and celebrated her win by nominating Mallory, Taylor, and Yash for eviction. Once the feeds came online, the house dynamics

Critic’s Rating: 4.6 / 5.0 4.6 It’s always going to be Louis and Lestat. The crux of this story, the one being told to us through this medium, has consistently returned to the same central theme. You strip it all down, lay it bare, and there are two things at the center: Louis de Pointe

When it comes to support, Penelope Garcia has always been there on Criminal Minds. She delves into the research and digitally shuts down UnSubs in real time. However, Criminal Minds Season 19 has offered Garcia a chance to do more and to help bring an end to a gunfight. Literally! (Michael Yarish/Paramount+) It’s something Kirsten

When NCIS: Tony & Ziva first premiered, I didn’t have Paramount+, and I wasn’t about to get yet another streaming platform just for one series. By the time the streamer’s catalog sparked more interest for me, whether it was FROM (here in Canada) or Dutton Ranch, the primary issue was that it had already canceled

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 There’s something oddly refreshing about a mob drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That’s not to say The Westies isn’t brutal. It opened with one of its own holding a Gambino underboss at gunpoint and ended with the same guy on the warehouse floor. The bloodshed is real,

Elin Hilderbrand’s The Five-Star Weekend was Peacock’s latest book-to-screen adaptation. It premiered on July 9. Six months after her husband dies, Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner) gathers her closest friends from various stages of her life as a way to help her escape her overwhelming grief. There is her childhood friend Tatum (Chloë Sevigny), her college

Critic’s Rating: 2.75 / 5.0 2.75 Four episodes in, I’m struggling to understand what the creative minds behind House of the Dragon are doing. House of the Dragon Season 3 has been up and down, but House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4 is a frustrating low point. Unless things change soon, the series

When it comes to emotional trauma, Grey’s Anatomy knows how to dump us in it. Sure, it’s not just reserved for season finales, but you can count on finales to deliver solid punches in the form of the most significant disasters. Whether it’s a storm wiping out power or a major plane crash, Grey’s has

Ever since the first promotional details for Big Brother Season 28 dropped, fans have been wondering whether any returning players would be part of the cast. The “Time Trip” theme certainly seemed to set the stage for a walk down memory lane with some of the franchise’s most iconic houseguests. However, the long-running reality series

To my dying breath, I will never forget the experience of interviewing Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer for their upcoming Prime Video series, Ride or Die. And not only because they are gorgeous, eloquent, and intelligent women who kick ass all over the screen as two besties on the run from deadly killers. Speaking with

Wedding bells are ringing! This past Fourth of July weekend brought more than just fireworks and hot dogs; it also brought in headline after headline about one of the most talked-about weddings of the century. After months of rumors, questions, and the signing of over 1,000 ironclad NDAs, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce officially tied

It’s Not Like That’s cancellation proves there’s no rhyme or reason for anything anymore. It’s that exact level of unpredictability in the television landscape that has left viewers wary, distrustful, and fed up. Because if a series that constantly trended on one of the major streamers, had the star power of Scott Foley and Erinn

The first season of Prime Video’s prequel series to the Legally Blonde movies, Elle, has hit all the right notes for nostalgia and humor, with a quirky Scooby-gang vibe to boot. A key character in the series is Shannon Walker, a senior at Rainier West High, Elle’s new school in Seattle, who proves that being

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Talk about a cliffhanger, man! Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed Season 1 Episode 9 dialed up the intrigue and left us with a stunning cliffhanger ahead of the season finale. In a sense, ending the penultimate episode in such a way is a little pointless. (Courtesy of Apple TV) There’s virtually

“Doesn’t Hollywood have any original ideas?” It seems like that’s the first thing people say whenever a beloved television series or movie gets a reboot or reimagining. Fans immediately question why Hollywood can’t leave a classic alone. (ERIC ZACHANOWICH/NETFLIX) Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie is no exception. Since the project was announced, many longtime

I’ve always disliked soft reboots when it felt like long-running series replaced beloved characters with newbies or totally changed the storyline. Both Once Upon a Time and Riverdale did that in their final seasons, and I feared All American would suffer the same fate. Until a few weeks ago, I’d only watched a few clips

It’s International Kissing Day, and we wanted to celebrate with 15 of the sexiest TV kisses that’ll get your hearts racing. It doesn’t matter if these couples were short-term or long-term. They shared some of the sexiest kisses in the last 10 years. You know the kind, when you can’t look away because it’s so

Peacock At first glance, Peacock’s new limited series “The Five Star Getaway” (debuting this Thursday) looks like it’ll slot in right into the ever-expanding Wine Mom Mystery genre, gathering an all-star cast of ladies for a twisted tale of murder, sex, and secrets. But after watching the first three episodes, I’m still waiting for the

Going into NCIS: Tony & Ziva — the long-gestating spinoff featuring Anthony DiNozzo and Ziva David — I expected it to be too little, too late. After watching the entire season, I found myself conflicted about whether I even wanted more, because additional seasons would inevitably put the couple through the emotional wringer all over

Just because some news is expected doesn’t mean it’s welcome. Variety officially confirmed that LaRoyce Hawkins will exit Chicago PD after 13 seasons, and as a diehard Atwater fan, I couldn’t be more frustrated. One Chicago’s revolving cast door has conditioned us to expect these departures. Budget cuts. Creative decisions. Contract negotiations. Whatever the reason

Critic’s Rating: 4.8 / 5.0 4.8 In authoritarian societies, individualism is not celebrated. It’s all about systems, with the state being the largest of them all. People are treated like a means to an end. Names are less important than titles because each person is as replaceable as the next. (Courtesy of Apple TV )

Critic’s Rating: 4.75 / 5.0 4.75 When I read the description for Cape Fear Season 1 Episode 6, and it stated that “the family takes a trip,” I was curious for several reasons. It would make sense for the Bowdens to hotfoot it out of their home now that Max Cady is living right across
