TV Review: You Will Cherish The Final Season of ‘The Comeback’
The Comeback season three premiered its eight-episode final season on HBO, and the dark Hollywood satire is some of the scariest television you will watch this year.

TV Review: ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ is a Comedic Touchdown
It takes a lot to make me laugh, but if the humor hits just the right note, I crack up. The choir of comedic voices in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new NBC mockumentary-style sitcom, nailed that note over and over again. It’s no wonder the rapid-fire comedy hits so well. It […] More

It is funny how often we judge a book by its cover, consciously or subconsciously. It happens. When the screeners for DTF: St. Louis arrived in my inbox, I hate to admit it, but I judged the book by its cover (more specifically the title) and immediately deleted the email. Somehow the series was not […] More

TV Review: ‘Cross’ S2 is a Dark, Timely Page-Turner Worth the ‘Read’
The only thing better than reading a good book is sharing it.
