I had my worries when it was announced that Varada Sethu would be joining the cast of Doctor Who as the newest companion for The Doctor, after her successful guest turn as Mundy Flynn in the first series of Who with the Fifteenth Doctor. She was great in the role – and I’m a huge […]
One of the very many things that I love about Hacks is how Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky (and the rest of their writers) seemingly write themselves into a corner in every season finale only to find a new way to get Ava and Deborah back on track the following season. Because, […]

At first, the offer of Hell of a Summer is very recognizable. An unknown and unseen killer slowly picks off a bunch of kids at a summer camp while their friends obliviously go about activities nearby. There are campfires, tall tales, tiny cabins, lame ice breakers, and awkward hook-ups. There’s the initial moment when they […]

He lives a solitary life, with his only friend being his online gaming buddy, Roscoe (Jacob Batalon). Nathan’s life improves when he finally gets a date […]
