***This post contains spoilers for Season 4 of Orange is the New Black. Only read this if you’ve finished the season.*** See? Was that so hard? That, my gentle readers, is a spoiler warning. But you already knew that because you’re one of the good ones. The pop culture-devouring, internet-savvy elite. And you also know…
[Spoiler free] Do we ever really reconcile our past? Those darkest parts of ourselves that we desperately try to keep hidden? That’s what Bloodline confronts its characters (and viewers) with. The Netflix original revolves around a close-knit family of four adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep brother, Danny (the incomparable Ben Mendelsohn), returns…
Heads up, cheesecake loving confidants. Coming soon to New York’s Washington Heights ‘hood: a Golden Girls-themed café! Michael J. Larue, a friend of the late Rue McClanahan, plans to open up shop in September, and as a special tribute to McClanahan, will name his new creation Rue La Rue Café. McClanahan played the saucy southern…
Maria Bamford’s Netflix series Lady Dynamite is a comedy show like no other. Sure, you can lump it with other series of comedians-doing-TV—from Louie to The Sarah Silverman Program and hell, the cream of the crop, Seinfeld—but that would do it a severe disservice. Arrested Development maestro Mitchel Hurwitz’s take breaks every single wall (literally and metaphorically),…
Let’s face it: Network TV sucks. In a world full of HBOs, Showtimes, FXs and more, why the hell are we even keeping tabs on the Big 4 when all they do is cancel creative masterpieces like Happy Endings and Pushing Daisies season after season? (Yes, I’m still grudging hard.) While I’d love to ignore…
***This post contains MAJOR SPOILERS from last night’s Bates Motel.*** Last night’s penultimate episode of Bates Motel‘s fourth season is, quite honestly, the reason I watch television. After viewing the episode entitled, “Forever,” my mind raced. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t pull away from Twitter. It was an episode that required processing and mourning before…
Last night’s Survivor was the scariest moment I’ve ever seen on reality TV…and Lord knows I’ve seen way more of it than I’d like to ever admit publicly! But shit got real last night when a brutal challenge led to three cast members passing out from heat stroke, heat exhaustion and dehydration. As a result,…

Season six of Portlandia has been a mixed bag, but hasn’t it always been that way? (No risk, no reward, I say!) Despite its hot-and-cold vibe, Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein’s show is like the resident weirdo of TV, following IFC’s “Always On, Slightly Off” tagline to a T. Even when the show delivers a…
We’re about halfway through Fuller House and as much as I hate myself for it, I don’t regret a goddamn thing, motherfuckers. As much as I want them to CUT-IT-OUT with all the throwback jokes and old catchphrases, there’s a microscopic part of my 6-year-old self inside who is eating it up while my eyes simultaneously roll…
