Laurie Metcalf, currently starring in the hit Broadway revival Death of a Salesman co-starring Nathan Lane, speaks emotionally about the show’s producer (and her frequent collaborator) Scott Rudin in a lengthy New Yorker profile out today. “It’s so touchy,” she tells writer Michael Schulman, who notes in the profile that Metcalf teared up when speaking

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 If it wasn’t obvious before that Watson is ending, it is now. Watson Season 2 Episode 20 ended Mary’s storyline, suggested that Watson needs a resolution to his brain tumor, and that Ingrid likely is going to be arrested for Beck’s murder. It also had a weird, random, and

As HBO’s nail-biting financial thriller Industry preps for its fifth and final season, the cast is eager to push the envelope as far as they possibly can. “All I’ll say is this show has pushed it and pushed it and pushed it each season, and I just know for certain that we’ll push it again,”

Some characters take seasons to leave an impression, and others manage to do it in a single hour. This week’s television delivered a powerful mix of breakout performances, emotionally devastating losses, and long-overdue character growth. From Marshals to Will Trent, dive into our Characters of the Week. Garrett – Marshals (Fred Hayes/CBS) Do you know

Jimmy Fallon just became the unexpected star – and puppet master – of the latest episode of Saturday Night Live UK. Actress and host Nicola Coughlan was delivering her opening monologue of this week’s episode on Sky One, joking she had consumed “a staggering amount of cocaine” to get into her SNL character, as the

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.0 4.2 I have to admit, I struggled with Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 16. It’s not that it wasn’t well done — it was, and as an added bonus, Sean and Jonah were pulled off their original silly story to help with the crisis. Still, I feel like every medical and

EXCLUSIVE: There is major changing of the guard on Chicago Fire. Andrea Newman, who has been on NBC‘s firefighter drama for its entire 14-season run to date and showrunner for the past three seasons, is leaving. Succeeding her is Chicago Fire co-executive producer Victor Teran, who has been named executive producer and showrunner for the

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 There’s no denying that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has lost a bit of momentum over the last handful of episodes. The series hasn’t done the best job of developing many of its characters, but Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Episode 9 is a noticeable step in the right

In his first major move since passing the Disney CEO baton to Josh D’Amaro, Bob Iger has rejoined Thrive Capital as an advisor.

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 We’re really having a baby! And by “we” I mean, Foxwater. Of course, that’s assuming Chicago PD doesn’t pull the old One Chicago move of having Atwater’s child going through absolute peril. After what seemed like ages, we finally revisited Atwater and his storyline regarding his child, and the

EXCLUSIVE: Vas Saranga (You’re My Hero, The Handmaid’s Tale) has been cast in a major recurring role in the Netflix limited series I Will Find You, based on Harlan Coben’s bestselling novel.

Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.0 4.1 Mmmm, don’t mind me. My head is still with RJ and Emi and that steamy rain-soaked kiss. But, of course, there’s more to discuss about RJ Decker Season 1 Episode 8, including the fact that this is the penultimate episode of the season. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! RJ

The Jeopardy! franchise is expanding yet again with new sports spinoff ESPN Jeopardy!, from Sony Pictures Television.

Critic’s Rating: 4.3 / 5.0 4.3 What do the kiddies say? Finally, some good food. The Rookie Season 8 Episode 16 was a smorgasbord of all the things that make this series so quintessentially The Rookie, as well as many of the things that make for a fun hour. “Out of Time” felt like our

The full lineup for Deadline’s Reality TV Summit has been unveiled, with highlights including a keynote from one of the genre’s most influential figures of the past two decades, Andy Cohen, and panels featuring leading executives from the streamers, broadcasters and cable networks as well as top-tier talent and producers.

Critic’s Rating: 2 / 5.0 2 Watson’s latest story left me scratching my head. It’s not that Waston Season 2 Episode 18 was bad, per se, but it certainly drifted far from the series’ original premise. Instead of medicine, we got political intrigue and a violent twist in the Beck storyline, while Sasha prepared to

EXCLUSIVE: Higher Ground will be breaking new ground in its evolution. The production company of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama will transition to becoming independent when its current first-look deal with Netflix is up later this year, sources said. President Obama signaled the change while on stage at History Channel’s special edition of HistoryTalks

This week, so many characters were taking big steps, stepping outside of themselves, or coming to grips with themselves. We had deeply human choices, breakthroughs, and defining moments. And these Characters of the Week across The Pitt, Doc, American Classic, and more embody that. So dive into our list, and share if we forgot anyone.

Documentary filmmaker Rebecca Miller was acquainted with the subject of her latest, Apple TV’s five-part Mr. Scorsese, through her husband Daniel Day-Lewis, one of legendary director Martin Scorsese’s cinematic muses. But when it came to getting the filmmaker to commit to opening up about his life and career, it required a little bit of an

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Please tell me that Danny and Baez aren’t over. After rooting for them to get together for most of the second half of Blue Bloods, I was thrilled that Boston Blue kept them intact. But Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 15 ended on a weird note that left me

With Season 1 of Ryan Murphy’s Love Story meeting its tragic end last month, one of the true story’s subjects has reacted her portrayal. Jack Schlossberg recently revealed what his mother Caroline Kennedy thought of Grace Gummer’s performance as her in Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, inspired by her late brother’s

Critic’s Rating: 3.75 / 5.0 3.75 Hello to everyone slinking in the back door and hoping to get out unnoticed, just like Coop when he’s hitting one of his friends’ places to steal their treasures. I see you! I know you are here. Say hello. Drop a comment. Enjoying the season so far? I’m not

Critic’s Rating: 4.7 / 5.0 4.7 Finally! I’ve been waiting all season for Scrubs to bring back the Janitor. His appearance was perfect and made me laugh so hard I couldn’t stop during the commercials. And that was only part of a strong season finale that leaves me hoping Scrubs is renewed for Season 11

For the first time in more than a decade, it looks like CBS won’t be taking the broadcast crown for the 2025-26 TV season. While the network can still lay claim to quite a few wins this season, total viewers won’t be one of them as NBC will likely come out on top when all

Critic’s Rating: 4.3 / 5.0 4.3 Things are heating up on RJ Decker! We finally met Papa Ochoa, and he’s as intimidating as expected. We learned more information about who was after RJ’s family, and the series gave us one of its strongest cases yet. The case focused heavily on pride, heritage, community, family, love,

The topic of contract negotiations with studios and streamers was off the table Monday night as SAG-AFTRA leaders put the focus on unity and celebration at the union’s annual “Rock the City” event in New York. The contract talks were recently put on pause and are set to resume April 27 ahead of the June

Critic’s Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 2.5 You have to respect The Rookie for its devotion to a bit. The mockumentary-style episodes are probably some of the most polarizing installments of this series, yet it never discourages them from returning every year. It’s an unspoken requirement of some sort. And, no, my position on them still

Peacock is staying in The ‘Burbs, renewing the breakout suburban mystery comedy series, starring and executive produced by Keke Palmer, for a second season. The pickup comes two months after The ’Burbs‘s high-profile launch on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 8. Promoted with spots during the game on NBC and Peacock, all 8 episodes dropped on

Critic’s Rating: 2 / 5.0 2 I was losing patience during Watson Season 2 Episode 17. Since we already knew Holmes was a hallucination, his appearance could only mean that Watson was unconscious and dreaming, and I wasn’t in the mood for half the episode to be fake. Additionally, this nonsensical plot gave Watson superpowers
