James Spader as criminal Red Reddington and Megan Boone as Elizabeth Keen in NBC's The Blacklist

Yes, You Must Watch The Blacklist With Me!

By Deborah Lacy

November 25, 2013

Back in September, I wrote about five new crime TV shows  that I was excited to watch. Of those five: Ironsides was cancelled, Dracula was a disappointment (although I am still watching it) and I like Almost Human, but we haven’t seen much of it yet. There are only two shows of the original five…

Fresh Meat: South by Lance Charnes

By Doreen Sheridan

November 6, 2013

South by Lance Charnes is a dystopic thriller set in an alternate future, one in which American policy is driving citizens across the southern border (available November 12, 2013). It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted so much for a character in a novel to kill a bad guy, or for the good guys…

Set Your DVRs: Five New Crime TV Shows to Watch

By Deborah Lacy

September 14, 2013

According to TV Guide, there are fifty-seven new shows premiering this fall. Fifty-seven. That’s a lot of shows. Clearly, not all of them will succeed, but there are five new shows with criminal elements (ha) that I am excited about. So, I thought I’d share a bit about each one. Here are my top five,…

Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane is a large, Gothic estate that houses a violent criminal known as Dr. Gideon. He’s been a model prisoner during his two year stay, earning him the privilege of lighter security measures in an otherwise high security psychiatric hospital. But that all changes one day when Dr. Gideon…

The Following Season 1 Finale: “The Final Chapter”

By Katee Robert

April 30, 2013

So this season has been a long and winding road. Some of it was definitely better than others, but The Following started off with a bang and ended much the same way. As much as I was sure, three episodes ago, that I’d probably never watch this show again, the finale changed my mind. I…

Hannibal Episode 4: “Coquilles”

By Amber Keller

April 27, 2013

“Coquilles” was an episode laced with sadness and mortality. Tonight’s killer gave a thought to humanity and just how little we know about how the human brain works. There were several themes in the show tonight, but the strongest that stood out to me was change. Almost every character in this episode is going through…

James Purefoy in The Following

The Following Episode 14: “The End is Near”

By Katee Robert

April 23, 2013

I loved this episode for so many reasons. Everything played out so freaking well and… Let’s just get into it. First, though, I still don’t get Carroll’s thing with watching videos of Hardy having sex with that follower (Molly, right?). I just… It skeeves me out in a serious way. I don’t see the purpose…

Yeah, I'd say she has some major daddy issues!
