TV THEATER REVIEWS

You can take the writer out of the theatre, but you can't take the theatre out of the writer. For the past 20 years, Aaron Sorkin has been one of Hollywood's most successful scribes. From THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT to THE WEST WING to THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and many more remarkably successful projects in b...

This week the three episode Halloween arc of SCREAM QUEENS ends. The show spends little time messing around and gets to the core of this episode immediately. The sisters vote, and it's revealed that Zayday and Chanel tied for President, meaning they co-rule Kappa. The rest of the episode is a slumbe...

A few big things happened in tonight's episode, and most of them had nothing to do with Milus Corbett. What. A. Bummer. But we're gonna talk about him anyway. I am so sorry for anyone who reads my recaps and doesn't like Milus. I'd like to actually take this moment to publically apologize to you. Bu...

In 'Before the Law,' everyone's lives revolved around one person, whether they know it yet or not. The death of Rye has caused a ripple effect in the lives of all of our characters: Dodd wants to find his brother before Floyd, so that he can convince him to back him for head of the Gerhardt family; ...

I forgot how funny THE GOOD WIFE is. How quick, and how cheeky. This is a fun show. The hour goes really fast when you're enjoying all the side-eye/eye-rolls/grimaces that these characters dish out to each other, whether they're mother and daughter, nearly-friends, or scheming political partners....

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is a show that works in equilibriums. It starts in one normal, throws everything into disarray, and then returns to the old normal or reaches a new normal. The fourth episode this season is the end of the first part of the season, returning our characters to the new normal. Phi...

Maisie Williams guest-stars as 'The Girl Who Died,' in tonight's episode of DOCTOR WHO. Maisie plays Ashildr, a Viking girl who's village is attacked by the Mire, some of the galaxy's best warriors. There was a lot of speculation as to who Maisie would play and the importance of the character, and t...

Last week's leg of THE AMAZING RACE was a doozie, to say the least. I'm not sure I've ever seen as much strategic planning from teams as I did during the last leg. Usually, teams fight with teams they don't like, and sure, they use the U-Turn if possible, but Tanner and Josh took Race strategy to a ...

It's 1957, the U.S. is about a decade into the coldest of wars, and an insurance lawyer from Brooklyn is unanimously chosen by his peers to defend an accused Soviet spy....

Corporate evil comes to the Cabal in this week's episode of THE BLACKLIST, 'Eli Matchett,' Number 72 on the secret list. Farmworkers in hazmat suits spray some mighty high corn until one unearths a gun and shoots the others. Meanwhile, some other workers gather guns and explosives and open a gate. I...

Four episodes in, and we're finally starting to get to the meat of some of these characters! A lot has happened to our HEROES REBORN friends over the past few episodes: deaths, car crashes, ruined marriages, all that fun stuff. I'm hesitant to mourn any of our newly deceased EVO friends – they hav...

As a kid, carving pumpkins was an annual tradition. You go to pick one out, and look down a row of vegetables, all orange with little brown stems poking off the top, scouring the piles for the perfect pumpkin. You need one with a face that's flat enough to carve into, yet round enough to still resem...

Old Flash Jay Garrick meets THE FLASH and it's awesome!...

Welp. Jessamy's acting weird. Must be a Tuesday. Last week's episode ended, you may recall, with Ventrishire's resident besotted kook walking in on her paramour getting all snuggly with Lady Love in the chapel. Tonight it becomes very clear that Jessamy is jealous, as well as delusional. When Wilk, ...

In 1989, Disney revitalized both animation and musical theatre for generations to come with their Academy Award-winning film THE LITTLE MERMAID. They followed up that success with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 1991, which won another two Oscars, and then in 1992 they again broke the animated mold with ALA...

FARGO's second season returned tonight, and at a place in TV where anthology series have been tested, with TRUE DETECTIVE'S abysmal second season and AMERICAN HORROR STORY'S decline, Fargo was our last hope to prove the genre is still alive. Thankfully, Fargo delivered....

We want to love THE GOOD WIFE. We're a bit like Chicago voters in that way. So the way I see it, as Eli and Ruth attempt to rehabilitate Alicia this season, they're really in the process of remaking the show itself. Getting it back on the right path. The one where we'd follow Alicia Florrick anywher...

'When somebody dies, all that bad stuff melts away and you're left with the good stuff.' Gail says this line at Gordon's funeral, noting how in the wake of his death, she only remembers the good in him, forgetting his bad habits. This line is especially poignant given the post-apocalyptic genre THE ...

As popular culture continues to be fractured with the advent of new forms of media and even more forms of delivery, it is good to know that there are still some institutions that you can continue to count on for quality entertainment. The newest DVD release from PBS Distribution brings three hallowe...

Tonight is the conclusion to the second two-part episode of the season! Keep reading for the full recap of “Before the Flood.”...

I've only watched one episode of NBC's Friday night sitcom UNDATEABLE, so I am not going to claim to be an expert on the deep, emotional lives of Danny, Justin, and the rest of their undateable friends. However, that one episode that I watched was an episode that was broadcast live last May. Yes the...

Let's start by noting that GOODNIGHT MOMMY is not just another weird foreign film testing the creepiness factor of twins. Though it is definitely weird, it does feature twins and they are pretty creepy. (Just check out the poster.)...

When The Cabal takes over Agent Elizabeth Keen's visit to the Russian Embassy, she reunites with Red Reddington and with jailed legal genius Marvin Gerard during a police standoff at a DC diner. Ressler is behind the curve, Director Cooper is being pressured to retire, and Dembe is missing. Welcom...
