Road rage: it is something that most people have suffered from at some time in their lives. The thriller Unhinged takes the experience of road rage to its nightmarish extreme. Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is a struggling single mother who’s often late, lost her business, and has an ex-husband demanding their house. When she’s late taking […]
Well, that was a hell of a lot of plot to churn through in a single hour of television. And to remove two of the show’s most recognizable actors from the gameboard this early in the run of a series (that would be Courtney B. Vance – who certainly could still come back from the […]
The week of Memphis (and why do the “jock” type white males always win early? Whyyyyyyyy?) proved to be more watchable than expected, although that was mainly because the end result wasn’t terrible. Who won? Memphis targeting David and Nicole A. wasn’t initially terrible–and while Nicole A. didn’t suffer an epic meltdown about it, her […]
Doctor Who enters into the realms of gothic horror with the Mary Shelley focused episode “The Haunting of Villa Diodati.” In the year 1816 on the shores of Lake Geneva, some of the greatest writers of the period have gathered together for a night of fun and games.

Although, with a title like “Sundown,” I was perhaps a bit more prepared than folks who haven’t […]
Any fan of Big Brother has come to love the phrase “expect the unexpected,” so perhaps a relatively quiet first week of Big Brother season 22, or the second edition of Big Brother All Stars, isn’t terrible. In fact, maybe the biggest surprise of all is that CBS managed to successfully launch the show in […]
“Can You Hear Me?” is one of the most ambitious episodes of Series 12. It was an episode that saw The Doctor and pals go from 14th Century Syria, modern-day Sheffield, and the furthest reaches of space. The Doctor drops her companions in Sheffield and allows them to spend time with their friends and family. […]
