It's another week of Call the Midwife Season 13, and I am back with another rant about Matthew (Olly Rix). Every time he has the opportunity to redeem himself, he chooses to be self-centered or arrogant, or in this case, both. He finally clued Trixie (Helen George) into

It has been a very long spring, and while summer's mystery series are all announcing themselves for June and July, we're not actually there yet. There's one more month of high-profile releases heading this way, and at least two more Masterpiece shows to go

Congratulations to those who made it all the way to the end of Alice & Jack. You, like the rest of us, have discovered that your reward for putting up with all of that nonsense is.... a clip show.* (Ed Note: I'm sorry, I can't stop

If you thought that Sam (Krupa Pattani) stabbing herself in Episode 2 was the darkest moment of the Mr Bates vs The Post Office saga, Episode 3 was here to prove you wrong. In the series's latest installment, based on the true story of Alan Bates and the

Since 2015, PBS' Summer of Mysteries has been headlined by two hit series headlined by two white guys: Grantchester and Endeavour. Whatever happens for the summer of 2024, that won't be the case, as the current lead of Grantchester, Tom Brittney, is out the door, due to

Brace yourselves: Episode 4 was the carrot after many sticks, but Episode 5 of Alice & Jack punishes us for letting our guard down. For a show that consistently contains more dialogue than plot, the last third of this episode pushes the limits of just how much nonsense an audience

In every movie about a big corruption or scandal there's always a scene where the trepid investigator goes, "This goes so much deeper than we thought." In Erin Brockovich, it's when Julia Roberts realizes that the Hinkley water contamination affected almost everyone who worked

Normally, a day at the seaside would sound lovely. I was certainly looking forward to a nice beach day this week on Call the Midwife, but it was pure naiveté to believe that our favorite Poplar townspeople could enjoy some ice cream, sun, and sand castle building without any major
