And we’re back! The mid-season premiere of Fear the Walking Dead was a very Nick-centric episode.

From the opening scene featuring Matilda reading Dracula by candlelight, to the woman in the foggy London night waiting for a ghostly child to lead her to whatever fate awaits her, this episode is drenched in supernatural possibilities.

This episode of Suits answered a lot of questions but still had this reviewer asking more, such as how is Mike going to get out early now that the deal is no longer on the table? How is Rachel going to defend Bailey? How is Harvey going to keep Sutter as a client knowing he’s guilty?

Don’t give up yet–despite the further unnecessary driving home of the Arab culture’s treatment of women, homosexual and other marginalized groups, the episode finally renews viewer interest in Tyrant because we’re back to the good stuff: good versus evil.

American Gothic has a great sense of timing. The last episode was highly stylized with visual composition, others have leaned on humor; “The Oxbow” is a more straightforward dramatic tone and it works for showing us a lot of Garrett’s backstory.

This week, all the counselors want is to leave the horrible violent events of their summer behind them, but a possible demon hiding in plain sight — i.e. inside one of the counselors’ bodies — makes that impossible.

I have been very critical of Casual. When I feel it’s bad, I’ve called it out and stated my reasons. But I don’t have a vendetta or a grudge against the show, so that means that when it’s good, I also have to call it out. And this week’s episode was really good.

Jill tries to further her photography career while Andy comes to terms with his aging and Vanessa goes to dinner with her ex-husband Graham.

This week on Guilt, Grace Atwood’s murder trial begins — and so does the fight to keep Prince Theo in the suspect pool. In case you weren’t assuming this already, the Crown in “Crown v.

Power‘s latest installment is the most poignant and emotional, from the men’s points of view. I can’t begin to express how awesome the writing, direction, and performances are in Sunday’s episode.
