“Rule No. 3: Don’t Stand in the Doorway” does a great job of addressing the fears in all of us. From the simplest—Charlie’s fear of the dark—to the more serious—Delia’s fear of commitment, and Abby’s avoidance of Will (Warren Christie), everyone faces their worst fears in “Rule No. 3.”

Diabolical and treacherous, “Spellcaster” is a fantastic episode full of evil warlocks and betrayal. An auction house in White Plains, NY becomes the scene of two gruesome murders when a dark sorcerer infiltrates the warehouse to steal an ancient book known as the “Grand Grimoire.” Meanwhile, the return of the prodigal son unveils shocking revelations about a trusted ally. And, for one character, the more you practice the better you get, even where magic is concerned, but will dark temptations ruin everything?

“A Night to Remem-Wait, What?” is, without a doubt, the best episode of the season so far. Episodic writer Davey Holmes outdoes himself with the ongoing story lines and brilliant dialogue. The episode revolves mainly around Fiona and Frank, and both Rossum and Macy steal almost every scene they’re in.

Grab a drink and hold on tight because Black Sails is a doozy this week. If “X” is any indication of how dark and disturbing the season will be for the characters in Black Sails, then no one is safe.

Portland has constantly been dubbed as “weird” throughout Grimm, and rightfully so. There are Grimms and all kinds of Wesen running around so it seems only natural that other paranormal anomalies might exist in the world. Are ghosts lurking around Portland or is this a case of a unique Wesen wreaking havoc on the “Ghost Seekers,” a local ghost hunting crew? “Death Do Us Part” is a fantastic and engaging episode. While most episodes of Grimm pick up where the previous episode left off, I enjoyed the diversion writer Jeff Miller provides in showcasing an amateur ghost hunting team as they investigate the “Donovan house,” a home with a sordid history of deadly consequences.

He also talks about season 4 of Grimm, saying “this season has become kind of like the season of the Hexenbiest. It’s a hexen feast, as I like to call it.” Read more….

“EST Men” unfortunately lacks the suspense, intensity, and passion that was so prevalent in previous seasons, except for the opening scene, which had me holding my breath. That is not to say I didn’t enjoy the season premiere, as I did. “EST Men” is too busy setting up the third season of The Americans to include the same level of action sequences we’ve seen before. It would be unreasonable to expect that. I’m sure there will be plenty of edge-of-your-seat scenes to thrill us as the season moves forward.

I can always tell when Noxon puts on her writer’s cap—I find myself with an idiotic Cheshire grin on my face throughout the majority of the episode. “Rule 32” fits the bill, particularly during Edelstein and Christie’s scenes together. They have such amazing chemistry onscreen, I could almost close my eyes and feel the emotions bouncing off them. Of course, director Robert Duncan McNeill deserves kudos for the way he sets up the scenes.

“Kali Yuga” presents us with an interesting dilemma involving the handsome Nick Hawley (Matt Barr). Hawley has always been a private guy; he doesn’t talk much about himself or his past, but his past is about to pay him a surprise visit in the form of Carmilla Pines (guest star Jaime Murray).

Colorful characters and good intentions abound in “Cash Game.” After Boyd (Walton Goggins) robs the bank in “Fate’s Right Hand,” he’s not sure if what he finds in Calhoun’s (actor name) safe deposit box is worth the “three million” he was told by Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen) and Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns). But, there’s more than one way to skin a cat…

As you may or may not know, The Americans is one of my favorite TV shows. Actor Matthew Rhys, who plays Philip and a host of other aliases on the show, was kind enough to participate in a conference call on Monday, January 26, 2015 to discuss his role in the show and what we can expect …

As the Suits midseason premiere approached, I was cautiously optimistic about things to come. As someone who’s not a fan of excessive internal conflict among central characters, I mentally prepared myself for the fallout that was seemingly inevitable due to Louis (Rick Hoffman) learning the truth about Mike (Patrick J. Adams).

Black Sails is back with a vengeance in the season two premiere “IX.” Well worth the wait, Starz’s pirate saga doesn’t disappoint as it gets down to the nitty-gritty events left in the wake of season one’s finale, “VIII.” Full of impressive action sequences and sharp dialogue, “IX” leaves you wanting more by the end.

“Tribunal” picks up exactly where “Wesenrein” left off with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) shackled, standing among a sea of cloaked figures chanting “Wesenrein” over and over. “Grandmaster” Charlie Riken (Brandon Quinn) presides over the so-called trial accusing Monroe of “violating the law” by “marrying outside of your bloodline” and “the befriending of a Grimm.” Back at the precinct, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) is concerned about Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) so he asks Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) to make sure Wu can handle it when a Wesen “woges.” Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) continue to review the wedding guest list to figure out who betrayed Rosalee and Monroe to the Wesenrein.

After a season of watching nightmarish clowns, psychopathic killers, and a homicidal ventriloquist terrorize the town of Jupiter, my expectations going into the finale of American Horror Story: Freak Show (AHS: Freak Show) were pretty high. So imagine my surprise when what I expected to see—abundant gore and a literal blood bath—evolved into something poignant and heartfelt by the end.
