Aang (Gordon Cormier) has more elements to master before he can take on Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Kim) in Netflix’s live-action take on the beloved Nickelodeon animated series.

Critic’s Rating: 4.7 / 5.0 4.7 We had another Torres episode, and it certainly delivered. Chicago PD Season 13 Episode 16 quietly devastated me in ways I didn’t anticipate or even fully feel until the closing credits. We started the hour with what appeared to be a senseless, heartbreaking death of a teen trying to

EXCLUSIVE: Multi-award winning actor Dennis Quaid is set to star in AMC‘s NASCAR drama Thunder Road, from Young Guns and The Highwayman scribe John Fusco.

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 There’s a good reason the second stage of grieving is anger. Once you can’t deny reality anymore, the best defense is an aggressive offense. Thus, “anger is the bodyguard of sadness.” On Shrinking Season 3 Episode 10, “The Bodyguard of Sadness,” Jimmy hits that stage, but misdirects that energy

Riz Ahmed is hiding a killer secret in the first sketch released from his appearance as host of Saturday Night Live UK. As the sketch begins, the Bait and Hamlet actor is seen dancing to disco light in his dressing room, as SNL UK cast members George Fouracres and Ayoade Bamgboye enter to say hi.

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 Well, that was quite the episode. For the most part, The Rookie Season 8 Episode 13 delivers another Bailan misadventure that has the badass couple taking down some violent thieves, the return of Seth (again), and Wesley losing his big election. And there are some fun elements to the

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 3.5 Twins who were secret sperm donors. A debate over who gets Stephens’ name. Questions about whether Holmes is real. Is Watson a medical drama or a soap opera? Watson Season 2 Episode 15 relied on too many weird tropes, then followed it up with a twist that seemed more

Although Season 2 fans of The Pitt will recognize Sepideh Moafi‘s name, she was faced with changing it early in her career. The actress, whose parents came to the US as Iranian refugees before she was born, opened up about the “complicated” decision for actors after her first agent tried to convince her to change

If there’s one thing television did well this week, it was putting some of our favorite characters through the wringer. From devastating goodbyes to raw vulnerability, this week’s character work is still sticking with us long after the credits rolled. Whether it was a swan song that left us gutted or a long-overdue spotlight on

Although Alison Brie fans are still mourning Zoya the Destroya, the Masters of the Universe star is enjoying her latest taste of onscreen evil.

I’ve worked my way through a ton of shows, but one has quietly crept to the very top of my list. And it’s no surprise that HBO’s Task is coming back for a second season because it feels perfectly deserved. Once you’ve spent a few hours watching Mark Ruffalo thread his way through the rougher

The cast of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County came together to celebrate the premiere of Roku’s The Reunion: Laguna Beach.

The special set to premiere on the streaming service on April 10 sees the OG

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Colonialism rarely announces itself as such. It begins as exploration, then quietly hardens into ownership, control, and exploitation. That’s exactly where Apple TV’s longest-running sci-fi finds itself in the For All Mankind Season 5 premiere. “First Light” frames Mars not as humanity’s greatest achievement, but as its most familiar

Taylor Sheridan has served up another hit for Paramount. The Madison‘s premiere episode has wrangled 8M streaming views globally in its first 10 days on Paramount+, making it the prolific TV creator’s biggest series launch ever.

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen dares you to stay patient, and for three episodes, it barely earns that patience. The title does a lot of work. It promises dread, inevitability, and consequences. You go in expecting something slow, psychological, maybe even a little smart. What you get

The A Different World family reunion continues to grow with the addition of Dawnn Lewis and Glynn Turman, who originally played Jaleesa Vinson-Taylor and Col. Bradford Taylor, respectively, on the original series. As we reported last month, the sequel series is currently in production in Atlanta. The guest cast will also include Tichina Arnold (The

Critic’s Rating: 3 / 5.0 3 It says a lot for Jeff Daniels as an actor that I dislike Randy Laird as much as I do. On Shrinking Season 3 Episode 9, “Daddy Issues,” he swans into Jimmy and Alice’s life with the oblivious entitlement of a retired middle-class white man and blows all of

The Garden State is about to bloom again this spring as Bravo has renewed The Real Housewives of New Jersey for Season 15. After almost two years off the air, RHONJ will pick up cameras again this spring with Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania set to return. The reality series went on an

Critic’s Rating: 3.3 / 5.0 3.3 OK, so that was something! As per usual, The Rookie hasn’t met a villain it doesn’t love to bring back, and the villain-palooza continued with an Elijah Stone comeback in addition to Monica and Zuzu. Good times. It’s hard to even discuss what this hour was or was supposed

Lilias Folan, sometimes described as “The First Lady Of Yoga” because of her nearly 30-year-run as host of PBS‘ weekday program Lilias, Yoga and You, died March 9 in an assisted-living facility outside Cincinnati.

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Watson Season 2 Episode 14 asked an important question: what happens when Watson can’t help someone who has been in pain all their life? “Wrongful Life” was about a depressed teenager who couldn’t take any more pain and lashed out at Watson because of it. However, a disturbing subtext

Critic’s Rating: 4.6 / 5.0 4.6 Hope Valley:1874 is a breath of fresh air. I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie, so this series combined much of that show’s nostalgia with the themes viewers have come to love in When Calls the Heart. It helped that Michael Landon Jr. was versed in both,

Following Nicholas Brendon‘s death at age 54, Charisma Carpenter is paying tribute to her onscreen high school sweetheart. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, who played recovering mean girl and Xander’s girlfriend Cordelia Chase in the WB series, remembered her co-star as “warm and loving” after he died on Friday. “I will miss the version

Critic’s Rating: 3.8 / 5.0 3.8 There were concerns that Outlander wouldn’t have time to bring in particular book plotlines, especially as one of them hasn’t even been mentioned since Outlander Season 4. Yet, Outlander Season 8 Episode 3 delivers in a way many probably didn’t expect. Multiple book plotlines took center stage, while others

Wall Street is upbeat about the impact of Nexstar‘s $6.2 billion acquisition of local TV rival Tegna, mainly because it could trigger another wave of consolidation.

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.0 4.2 Even when we know devastation is on the horizon, it doesn’t get any easier to witness it. Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 14 was a well-balanced hour that delivered two things the season has been building to: the tragic loss of Katie and the romance between Winston and Jules.

Critic’s Rating: 4.1 / 5.0 4.1 It’s good to have Adam Ruzek back. With his first centric in quite some time, Chicago PD Season 13 Episode 14 leans into the qualities of Ruzek that work incredibly well: his evolution as a family man, while giving us peeks of the badass who always lies beneath the
