Sugar Season 2 Episode 7 might push John into doing the one thing he has fought against since the case began. And I hate that the idea now makes sense. Ray has detained Danny, exposed Ji’s fake death, and turned the whole situation into a rancid hostage game. John still wants the lawful route, which

Do you like tea? If you do, chances are you had a rare old time watching the Big Brother Live Feeds on Sunday. Who would have thought that a tea party would literally be about spilling tea about alliances and throwing players under the bus? Not me. (CBS/Screenshot) Big Brother Season 28 is becoming a

Many great plans form with the power of candy. With no pens or paper in the Big Brother Season 28 house, the houseguests have to get a bit creative. Schemes and alliances need to be tracked somehow. For one behind-the-scenes player, they’re making their big move before it’s too late. (CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

TV’s most compelling characters aren’t the ones who always make the right choices, or the ones who are even good. They’re the ones who surprise us with their complexity. Perhaps that’s why we have a diverse list comprised of redemption arcs we didn’t expect and villains who exposed heartbreaking vulnerability. (Jeff Neumann/Netflix, Sophie Giraud/AMC,Michael Yarish

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 There were plenty of questions about whether another spinoff of The Big Bang Theory was really needed, but when you get into Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, you’ll know it was. This series takes four of the minor but beloved characters from The Big Bang Theory‘s universe, Stuart

Everyone has that one TV show that they know like the back of their hand. They can quote it without thinking. They know an embarrassing amount of behind-the-scenes facts about it. They could write an entire dissertation about it, if pressed. For me, that’s The Vampire Diaries. (The CW/Screenshot) The Vampire Diaries is the show

Now that the World Cup is over, it’s time for the real football to begin on Ted Lasso. The beloved comedy show is finally making its return in August after its three-year hiatus. All the sneak previews of the season so far seem to be pointing to Ted Lasso trying to launch a soft reboot

You know what they say: “Patience is a virtue.” But that’s not the case with television’s frustrating trend of adapting a “wait and see” philosophy to show seasons. Because there’s nothing wrong with asking viewers to “trust the process,” knowing that the story will eventually take us where we need to be. But when it

Rick Devens has made some fantastic moves as the second Head of Household of Big Brother Season 28, but is he about to make a grave mistake? After the Survivor alum won the Golden Power of Veto on Saturday, his decision seemed clear: He wanted to backdoor Rome and send him out of the game.

It’s rare for the drama to be off the charts this early on Big Brother. But Rick Devens knew exactly what he was doing when he nominated Jason, Lyric, and Melody for eviction. When the Big Brother live feeds switched back on following Friday evening’s nominations ceremony, there was yelling, tears, and plenty of strategy

The best television makes you feel things. And the best television characters make you feel everything. Hell, The Vampire Lestat alone has risen to the occasion, delivering characters so complex and performances so remarkable that we’re on the third consecutive year of wondering why this adaptation doesn’t get the award recognition it deserves. But let’s

After 20 seasons, Married at First Sight has finally stopped pretending it’s a social experiment about love. It’s embracing what it’s actually been for years: a reality show fueled by chaos, conflict, and irresistible mess. And frankly, I’m perfectly content with that. (Jim Bennett/Peacock) For pretty much its entire run, the US versions of this

If the latest episode of The Vampire Lestat left you shell-shocked, you aren’t alone. While this season has mainly been a deep dive into Lestat and his backstory, the B-plot has finally entered the equation. There are a million questions to be asked after watching Armand and Daniel decapitate Louis and Lestat’s heads. (Sophie Giraud/AMC)

Cape Fear has been building its own brand of dread since its premiere, and it is not always coming from Javier Bardem. Max Cady terrifies us, yes. But Zack Bowden losing a toe and not noticing? Natalie cheerfully climbs into a car with the man, systematically dismantling her family?  At various points through this season,

Buried in Barstow fans can finally stop wondering whether Hazel King was left bleeding on the floor for all eternity because Lifetime has officially ordered not one but two new movies continuing Angie Harmon’s wonderfully pulpy action drama. That sentence has been a very long time coming. Lifetime announced that Harmon will return to star

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

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

This week gave us no shortage of memorable performances, from heartbreaking vulnerability and unwavering resilience to commanding, scene-stealing power. Yes, we have our list of Characters of the Week, ranging from The Vampire Lestat to Little House on the Prairie (the range gives you whiplash, doesn’t it?). Whether they made us emotional, inspired us, or

Few things capture the magic of Christmas quite like Hallmark’s O’ Little Christmas Market, which combines outdoor festivities, nostalgic charm, beautiful decorations, and a heartfelt journey of self-discovery and romance. Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar are Hallmark veterans, but they’ve never starred together. Yet they acted like old friends on-screen, and that natural connection sells

Well, this is a new one. Big Brother Season 28 hasn’t even premiered yet, and spoilers are already escaping from the most famous house on television. Hours before Big Brother Season 28 Episode 1 airs, the first Head of Household of the summer has reportedly already been crowned. (Diana King/CBS ) Survivor alum Dee Valladares

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

“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

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

I know what you’re thinking, and no, this isn’t another Bode hit piece. But this is about Fire Country landing a new addition to Station 42 come next season, and while on the surface that should be exciting news, the wariness comes in how they’ll handle her. Olivia Thirlby will join the cast as a

Soap characters always have it rough, and Days of Our Lives isn’t holding back, especially when it comes to Chanel. Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-06-26 promise all sorts of heartbreaks and betrayals, but the Chanel spoilers scare me. The fact that she has an emotional setback and needs Johnny and

Chicago PD is losing one of its original series regulars, and to say this girl isn’t taking it well would be an understatement. LaRoyce Hawkins’ Kevin Atwater was a TV Fanatic favorite, and based on just how fans are reacting to the news of this departure, it’s evident that he was a fan-favorite, too. And

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

Like any other reality dating show on television, Love Island USA is looking to sell you a story. It’s the story of attractive, charismatic 20-somethings living together in a gorgeous villa, clad mostly in two-pieces and swim trunks, pulling each other for chats and exploring connections under the blazing sun. Love is in the title,

It’s hard to believe that The Bear is finally over. During the first two seasons, the FX show was all over the internet, hailed as one of the best prestige TV shows. And then Seasons 3 and 4 happened. Those two seasons of The Bear cornered the writers into a position where they had to
