Everyone’s a sucker for a good character transition, and this show has four (well, five, actually). The Good Place is NBC’s hit comedy about four people who end up in a heaven-like afterlife and get paired together for eternity, though two of them were placed there accidentally. The show is all about making choices, becoming…
Voice staffers share the movies and TV shows they’re looking forward to this year, from powerful female-led cinema to superheros and…sharks? Jessica Jones Season 2 — March 8, 2018 I wish I could tell you that I’m a different, more mature person than my high school-self and that I’m not freaking out about Jessica Jones…
Out of all the things about this show, Marvel’s The Punisher’s release date had to be the most puzzling. Planned for November 2017 after fans’ wildly positive reviews about the character’s first appearance in Daredevil, it premiered right after Marvel’s Defenders, somehow closing the year for the Marvel Netflix shows despite being, up to that…
In a previous piece about Gilmore Girls, I trashed the show because that’s what it is: garbage. It perpetuates a ton of stereotypes about women and about relationships, and I wanted none of it despite the fact that I gleefully watched all of it. So I was happily surprised when the show’s creator came out…

Mindhunter As someone who is fascinated by true crime, Mindhunter claimed the first spot in my Netflix queue. A show about the FBI…
Warning: Spoilers for Season 2 of True Detective ahead Season 2 of True Detective was already at a disadvantage by the end of the first season. It was so good that there was no way a second season could top it. The first season took HBO by storm, gathering both a huge audience and glowing critical…
What does it take to survive as a sitcom in today’s television world? Can we simply not handle several seasons of the same characters anymore? One of my favorite comedies has strong writing and a stellar cast, yet its following remains underwhelming and its future murky. The Mindy Project, now in its third season, makes…
The CW’s Supernatural, thriving well beyond the average television shelf life, premiered its 10th season on October 7th. Since 2005, the show has followed the lives of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, two brothers who fight a countless number of supernatural creatures and are constantly revived by both the demonic and divine….
Clive Owen has played the brooding antihero before (see his Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated turn as Ernest Hemingway in Hemingway and Gellhorn). In The Knick, Cinemax’s period piece that wrapped up its first season on Friday, Owen plays Dr. John W. Thackery, a brilliant but tormented surgeon in a turn of the century New York…
