Teen-oriented shows, with only a few exceptions, seem to all show pretty teens pretty much doing the same thing: Sex, drugs, sex, partying, sex, smoking, sex, and drinking. Oh, and sex. It feels like most of the characters, whether it’s the “bad kid” who had a terrible childhood or the…
In the eight-part series Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints, the acclaimed director examines the lives of eight Catholic saints, all of whom had unshakable faith in the face of danger. Scorsese narrates each episode, which has scripted reenactments, and then has a brief panel discussion with theologians, journalists and clergy….
When a series is based on actual events, but the characters are all fictional, there’s a chance that things go off the rails, with over-the-top performances and outlandish situations.

The last few seasons of Love Is Blind have shown that no, love isn’t blind. In fact, love’s eyes are wide open, given the fact that those seasons have had its share of conflicts and breakups well before people made their decisions at the altar. It’s been getting to the…
It was a bit of a disappointment when we heard that the Walking Dead spinoff that was originally going to concentrate on Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier was going to be just about Norman Reedus’ Daryl, because Melissa McBride couldn’t shoot in Europe for the first season. But for the…
At the end of The Batman, The Riddler was committed to Arkham and most of Gotham was flooded after the retaining walls around the city were blown up. The new limited series The Penguin takes place about a week after the events of that film, with a vacuum in the…
