Watch This: Previews for Season 3 of The Americans
The Americans will start season 3 on FX on January 28. I’ve been watching this drama about Soviet spies in the U.S. during the Cold War in the 1980s since the first season. As unlikely as it sounds to say that I like a show about Soviet spies, I am saying it here. Much of…

Lost Girl begins “Like Hell, Pt. 2” with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) wanting out of her coffin. By the end of the episode Kenzi is headed somewhere else entirely. Here’s the story in pictures.

A trailer for Last Tango in Halifax season 3 is finally available. The show starts airing on BBC One on December 28. No news yet on when it will cross the pond. To quote Celia, “They’re getting married. The lesbians.” Who says Anne Reid can’t deliver snark? She’s a master at it. But Alan (Derek…

Lost Girl S5 E1: Like Hell, Part 1
Lost Girl season 5 started in one kind of hell and ended in another. There was plenty of excitement along the way. Bo sort of got Kenzi back, but not in a good way. Tamsin tried to help, but not in a good way. Kenzi got sent back to her body, but not in a…

The Documentary I Want to See
You know how actors say they never know what’s going to happen next on a show until they sit down with the scripts for a table read? If that’s true and not just something actors are told to say during publicity appearances, then I have a documentary I’d like to see. It would start with…
