A Quick-Start Guide: How Do I Know If Tiger King Is For Me? 

By Steve Erickson

March 31, 2020

Is Tiger King for me? I’m glad you asked! Watching Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is a decision everyone must make for him/herself. There is no hard scientific data to determine when you’re ready to let Tiger King happen to you, so that’s why I put this quick-start guide together. My hope is…

You Review, Season 2

By Doreen Sheridan

February 14, 2020

I remember when I was younger and firmly convinced that any media adaptation of a novel must always be inferior to its source material. In recent years, I’ve been gladly disabused of this notion and nowhere more intriguingly so than with the second season of You on Netflix, based loosely on Caroline Kepnes’ sophomore novel,…

Prodigal Son

Why Prodigal Son is a Must-Watch Show

By Allison Brennan

January 30, 2020

A year ago, I saw the trailer for Prodigal Son, a new series on FOX, and loved the premise: the son of a serial killer becomes a profiler while battling his own demons and missing memories. It was one of those ideas I wish I’d thought of. But as we all know, great ideas can…

You Review, Season 1

By Doreen Sheridan

January 28, 2020

Let’s be very clear here: Joe Goldberg is a bad guy. It doesn’t matter that he’s really good-looking, as played by Penn Badgley in what one could say is the natural evolution of his career from playing part-time creeper Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl, another show adapted from a popular book series. Full disclosure: I…

Supernatural, the Final Season (Spoilers and Predictions Ahead)

By Jess Montgomery

October 9, 2019

Here is my not-so-secret secret guilty pleasure: I love the television show Supernatural. In 2013, our older daughter was home on holiday break from college, and one night she wondered if I’d like to stay up and watch a show I’d never heard of—Supernatural—though by then the show had been on television for eight years.…

The Ten Best Scooby-Doo Monsters

By Tara Laskowski

October 3, 2019

One of my and my husband’s favorite things about being parents is getting to introduce our child to all our beloved TV shows and movies. We started watching Scooby-Doo several years ago, when our son Dash was around 3, and he immediately loved it. How can you not, really? Even though it’s weirdly illogical and…

The broadcast television networks unveiled their fall lineups recently, and there’s quite a bit of crime and mystery to be found on each channel.

Game of Thrones Series Finale Review: “The Iron Throne”

By Joe Brosnan

May 20, 2019

Before we get into the finale, I want to spend some time appreciating the phenomenon that is Game of Thrones. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say it changed my life. I’ve built friendships around it… And drinking games. I’ve spent countless hours discussing theories and what-ifs. And I’ve been lucky enough to share my…

Game of Thrones 8.05: “The Bells”

By Joe Brosnan

May 13, 2019

As Game of Thrones stumbles to the finish line, I find myself repeatedly coming back to a quote from the series finale of The Office when a profound Andy Bernard says to the camera “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” Boy, did…
