Australian author Liane Moriarty is known for her layered characters, complex family dynamics, and intriguing mysteries. After the success of her book-to-screen adaptation of Big Little Lies on HBO in 2017, she’s been in high demand. In 2021, Hulu adapted another novel, Nine Perfect Strangers, which expanded on the characters’ arcs from the book. It

As we’ve discussed in our previous Fire Country reviews, if the current season has a fatal flaw, it’s the writers’ apparent desire to cram 22 episodes worth of drama into a season that’s been shortened by the writer and actors’ guild strikes. In fairness, recent episodes have delivered some of the series’ most gripping action

Miranda Bailey has five rules, and we have all those great callbacks to make us nostalgic. Who wasn’t smiling from ear to ear after Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 Episode 1 concluded with Bailey uttering her iconic intro words? Grey’s Anatomy is back, baby!

Enjoy Heather the Avian Alien while you can, folks, because if the title of the next episode is any indication, she’s soon leaving the nest. The title is “Bye Bye Birdie.” If there’s one thing that we know after Resident Alien Season 3 Episode 5, it’s that Harry isn’t going to save the world if

A life without Sweet Magnolias would be depressing. We all need feel-good TV shows, and watching the happenings in Serenity fills us with joy, tears, and laughter. Fortunately, three seasons are available on Netflix, following the drama of leading ladies Maddie Townsend,  Dana Sue Sullivan, and Helen Decatur. Season four is also coming; we can

Did we see that correctly? Is Nikki Batista mobbed up? Outside of the fact that Dania Ramirez would be amazing and gorgeous executing (pardon the pun) a Mob Wives parody, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 2 Episode 2, giving us this new insight into Nikki’s past has certainly piqued interest. There’s no way that’s the

Do the Gamers know they don’t have a monopoly on reality television? The second season of The Traitors is a cultural experience — it’s the Megatron of reality television. It has so much built-in reality TV lore and glory that it’s no wonder it sets social media on fire. Honestly, it’s the Olympics of reality

The battle between Barbie and Oppenheimer that had been raging all award season (and that began when both films hit theaters on the same day back in July) promised a level of enthusiasm for Hollywood’s biggest night that would hearken back to the

Starcrossed lovers have been popular since Shakespeare’s day, and Days of Our Lives offers many. They even had Ben and Ciara play Romeo and Juliet once (something most fans would like to forget!) Now, it’s Tate and Holly’s turn, and fortunately, it’ll be the usual soap opera trope and not another re-rendition of the play.

What is happening? There are so many balls up in the air after The Way Home Season 2 Episode 7 that it’s hard to see a straight line to the finish. There is so much to discuss, so let’s get started. Things are coming to a head in the Landry family, and Kat’s need to

War, spy games, political intrigue, social commentary, and plenty of 1970s style — all wrapped up into one exciting limited series.

The Sympathizer is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel

Forget what that Christmas song says! Here at TV Fanatic, we think award season is the most wonderful time of the year. And in terms of both television ratings and general global interest, award shows don’t get any bigger than the Academy Awards. The stakes are higher than usual this year, as some major blockbuster

Prime Video excels at adapting novels, and love will be in the air this spring as the streamer adapts Robinne Lee’s romantic and steamy novel, “The Idea of You.” Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine will steal the show in this forbidden romance as a 40-year-old newly divorced mom who unexpectedly falls for the 24-year-old lead

Acting jobs seem to be coming back slowly but surely since the strikes last year, but not everyone is thrilled with the pace at which jobs are returning.  Several actors and actresses feel as if things are too slow, they can’t get work, and panic is setting in.  Amid the panic, several shows have been

It’s almost hard to believe that Friday Night Lights premiered in 2006. Its “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose” attitude will forever be a staple.  That said, there is no denying that All American has a way of doing things better than its predecessor. All American is based on the real-life experiences of football player

The 2007 John C. Reilly comedy Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story has become a cult hit in recent years, largely as a result of the skill with which it dissects and eviscerates the genre it satirizes. The film so deftly laid bare the tropes and cliches of the rock star biopic that many predicted

With viewership that peaked at nearly 14 million an episode, Young Sheldon is one of the most successful sitcoms in recent memory. And the show is spun off from The Big Bang Theory, which, despite never gaining a foothold with critics, was one of the most-watched sitcoms of all time, serving as CBS’ biggest hit

Nolan can never have a regular anything. It was a hellish honeymoon for him and his new wife on The Rookie Season 6 Episode 3, providing a heaping dose of humor for an hour that felt mostly like filler.

The ever-expanding universe of NCIS has found the young version of the man who started it all — Jethro Gibbs. With as much as we know about Gibbs at this point, it’s exciting to imagine how he became the man he is today. Casting the part is as important as writing it, and now we

Well, what do you know? Having Colter and Reenie team up together produced one of the best episodes in this series’ short existence. Tracker Season 1 Episode 4 found Colter taking on a case close to Reenie’s heart, and while it still had the usual twists and turns we’ve come to expect, the personal aspect

Seeing strong and impactful female characters on TV inspires us, rallying us to do better like these females have done whenever the chips were down.

In 2022, Netflix and showrunner Ryan Murphy released Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story to mixed reviews and a tremendous amount of controversy.

Blue Bloods memorialized Treat Williams and his character in the most beautiful way possible.

It’s to get back to business. Will Trent suffered the trauma of losing Cricket and saw James Ulster, but for now, the series has turned back to the case of the week instead. Spoilers for Will Trent Season 2 Episode 3 suggest that a corrupt politician was involved in a woman’s disappearance, even though he
