Grounded in Reality, In The Dark is a Love Child of Past Network Favorites

In The Dark is a surprising series for The CW.  Among a slew of superhero shows, soapy dramas, and supernatural flair, In The Dark is the most grounded in reality of the network's entire roster of dramas. Is that a bad thing for the show's long-term prospects? I'm not sure, but it's certainly a breath of fresh air for viewers tiring of the network churning out similar shows.  Starring Perry Mattfield (Shameless) as a blind woman who is thrust int... more

Keep Calm and Harry On

For a midseason premiere, that wasn’t half bad! Structurally speaking, Charmed (2018) Season 1 Episode 10 was the biggest success thus far. Finally, storylines are beginning to come together and make for interesting television. Opting to stray away from the “monster of the week” trope they’ve held on to so tightly, Charmed instead chose to focus more on the arcs which have spanned across the entire season. Boy, did that work in their favor. I... more

Welcome Baxter

There was no shortage of jokes on  Last Man Standing Season 7 Episode 1 proving the show is better than ever. The very first scene was a jab at ABC canceling the hit show, which is not a surprise because the joke was in all of Fox's promos for the show. It was still funny though. One thing the show did very well, although a bit cheesy, was acknowledging there is a new Mandy. Molly McCormick is tall and skinny with blonde hair, as opposed to Molly Ephraim who was shorter an... more

Mike White Found Enlightenment by Competing on ‘Survivor’ — Where Even His Agent Couldn’t Find Him

Mike White’s agent was not thrilled to learn that he was disappearing off the grid for another reality TV adventure. The filmmaker, who had previously appeared on “The Amazing Race,” had finally achieved his dream of competing on “Survivor” — but that meant being completely unreachable for more than a month. “It’s so funny, they’re literally the last to know,” White said of his reps at UTA. “You’re not supposed to tell anyone, but I told my boyfriend and my parents that I’m le... more

'Survivor: Ghost Island': Who Was Voted Off in 'It's Like the Perfect Crime'?

Last week on Survivor: Ghost Island, Michael earned the most number of votes but because he used his hidden Immunity Idol, he was able to save himself. On the other hand, Libby, who had four votes, was voted off in 9th place--joining Chris as the second member of the jury. Heading into this week's Tribal Council, it's easy to assume that Michael will once again be the target. But that might not be the case in "It's Like the Perfect Crime."  For this week's Reward Challenge, the 11 remaining players are divided into two team... more

Did Angela Just Emerge as the Dark Horse of 'Survivor: Ghost Island'?

The merge episode of Survivor: Ghost Island didn't play out in the usual way. The merge usually is about highlighting the biggest players of the season and showing off the real threats starting to emerge. Instead the merge was all about the final showdown between Domenick and Chris, which Chris lost. Yet with Chris out of the way, Survivor: Ghost Island was able to open up in the second post-merge episode. Lavita finally felt like a merged tribe and the season gave way to a surprising new power player, Angela. The more
