I Confess…I’m Displeased. Review: The Borgias, S2 Finale “The Confession”

As finales go, I’m not happy with how things have ended. It was lackluster, and there wasn’t really a buildup to the bloody cliffhanger. Will the Pope survive? And now that Cesare has been released from his Cardinal vows, what will he do? I feel unsatisfied but, thankfully, still hungry for The Borgias.

TV News: New HBO Series The Newsroom to Debut June 24th

The Newsroom debuts on HBO June 24th at 10PM ET/PT.

TV News: And the Winner Is: Second Annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards

I am extremely excited that Homeland walked away with the Best Drama Series award, as well as the award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for Claire Danes too. That’s because not only am I a hardcore fan, but I reviewed the show weekly during its freshman season and I intend to continue reviewing Homeland when it returns on September 30 at 10/9c ET/PT on Showtime. I’m also ecstatic that Tom Bergeron and Cat Deely tied for Best Reality Show Host for ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, respectively. But this isn’t just about my favorites; it’s about all the award-winning series and people associated with them. And, as far as networks go, NBC was clearly the winner with five shows winning awards.

Advance Review: Anger Management, S1 E1/E2 – “Charlie Goes Back to Therapy” and “Charlie and the Slumpbuster”

If Anger Management can keep up the level of hilarity in future episodes, FX will definitely have another hit on its hands. All I can tell you is you need to watch this show because if you don’t, you’ll be missing out on one of the funniest sitcoms in recent history! The acting and comedic timing are spot on, the dialogue is witty, clever, and sharp, and the chemistry among the actors is perfection.

So The Authority Sucks, Right? Review: True Blood – “Authority Always Wins”

We finally meet The Authority and I have to admit, I’m not too impressed. This group of vampires is varied to be sure, but what exactly is their plan for their vampire infested world?

Did You Guess Rosie’s Killer? Review: Season 2 Finale of The Killing – “What I Know”

So yeah, the big reveal doesn’t go down the way I thought it would. I didn’t cry although I came pretty darned close to it. *shaking my finger* Very sneaky, writers. You almost made me dislike this episode. You got me good, though. You got me good.

They’re BAAACK! Review: Falling Skies, Season 2 Two-Hour Premiere

Falling Skies roars back with just as much drama, angst, triumph, and heart as we saw in season one. It’s one of the best shows on television this summer, in my estimation. And this two-part premiere is just a taste of what’s in store for us this season.

A Birth, A Death and A Firing. Review: Season Finale of Nurse Jackie – “Handle Your Scandal”

As season finales go, “Handle Your Scandal” knocks it out of the park! Talk about a cliffhanger! Major changes take place—some good, some not so good. Dr. Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) fires Jackie (Edie Falco)—yes, you heard me right!—Jackie takes Grace (Ruby Jerins) out of Catholic school; and Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) goes into labor. It’s just another day at All Saints, right? NOT!

Family Stress, A Roller Derby Queen, a New GM. Review: Necessary Roughness, S2 E2 – “To Swerve and Protect”

Dr. Dani Santini (Callie Thorne) has her hands full in “To Swerve and Protect.” Not only must she help TK (Mehcad Brooks) conquer his fears, her son Ray Jay (Patrick Johnson) wants to “do it here” with his tutor/girlfriend Olivia (Megann Fahy). Plus, Dani has a new patient, Grace Denise Charleston (Alicia Ziegler), known as DisGrace Kelly on the roller derby circuit, who collapsed on the rink after smelling a suspicious odor.

For a man who claims to “work better alone,” Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) sure is going to bat for his protégé Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams).

Syfy Digital is offering fans a remarkable 20 movies in one month at its new Movie Hub (syfy.com/movies) and the popular Syfy Rewind destination.

Not a great penultimate episode. Review: The Borgias “World of Wonders”

“World of Wonders” is a bit chaotic and doesn’t seem to follow a particular line in regards to coherent story telling. We go from a debauched marriage proposal to burning witches at the stake to opium dens. Then there’s the back story of the Pope’s abstinence from temptations such as wine and his mistress for Lent that seems so misplaced.

Scuba, Secrets, and Rum…Welcome to Puerto Rico! Review: The Big C “Vaya Con Dios”

A trip to Puerto Rico for the family ends up dividing them more than ever…some even vanishing into the depths of the ocean. Paul is still mourning Joy’s death while Cathy has to answer for her secret life. Brava to Andrea for standing up to a demanding Paul. And Bravo to Paul for putting Cathy in her place.

We’re So Close To Finding The Killer! Review: The Killing “Donnie or Marie”

Ah… so there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to solving this murder. I swear, every time we take a step forward… well, you know.

Review: True Blood “Turn, Turn, Turn” Back The Clock. I Miss The Good Ol’ Days.

You can’t expect me to be entertained by a few snarky remarks and a quick flash of skin here and there. That’s not what True Blood is about (or at least it wasn’t). But maybe that’s the point.

Season Finale Review: Veep “Tears” Four More Years of This?

I’m looking forward to what the new season will bring. Sort of. I’m willing to give Veep a second chance.

God Returns and Chaos is Everywhere. Review: Nurse Jackie – “Are Those Feathers?”

With Eddie (Paul Schulze) and Gloria (Anna Deavere Smith) being fired last week, the nurses at All Saints are wearing commemorative arm bands and have set up a collection jar on their behalf. I’m not sure whether Dr. Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) is stressed or if he’s just plain spiteful when he demands they get rid of the jar and “lose the arm bands. No one died.” I’d like to say his Hitler-esque behavior is stress-induced, but I honestly think the man is callous and cruel. Looks like everyone needs to stay on their best behavior if they want to keep their jobs.

TV News: FX To Offer Special Preview Episode of WILFRED (Starring Elijah Wood, Jason Gann)

It’s Off Season for the NY Hawks. Review: Necessary Roughness – “Shrink or Swim”

When last we saw Terrence “TK” King ((Mehcad Brooks), he was being rushed to the hospital after being shot by a crazed fan. As “Shrink or Swim” opens, he’s fighting for his life in the operating room. Of course he makes it but it’s what he says as he’s wheeled out of surgery that sets the tone for this second season premiere, telling me the wry sarcasm and witty dialogue of the first season of Necessary Roughness is back. “I ain’t dead yet, bitches.”

USA Network Brings Royal Pains Fans A Whole Lotta Fun via the new Viggle App

The Boys are Back and Up to Their Usual Hijinks. Review: Franklin & Bash, S2 E1 – “Strange Brew”

As “Strange Brew” opens, our fearless heroes, the fun-loving legal duo of Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), are in court using some very unusual, seemingly life-threatening tactics to win a case. Cut to the offices of Infeld Daniels where Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell) announces to the partners that the firm’s experiment with Franklin & Bash (F&B) is over. This can’t possibly be true, can it? Of course not! What Stanton means is he wants to ask Jared and Peter to become full equity partners. While F&B’s initial response is comedic, they soon learn two-thirds of the partnership has to vote them in, and that might be a problem.
