The Pitt: TV Is So Back with Season 2 Teaser Trailer On The Pitt’s Emmy wins and why its Season 2 teaser trailer is still on my mind a month after its release

On the heels of the #Emmys, I wrote about its wins and #ThePitt Season 2 teaser trailer.

I’m thinking I need to write a whole other post about my theories on Dr. Jack Abbot (and #Mohabbot, because I just can't help myself).

Only Murders in the Building Season 5, Episode 5 Review: 'Tongue Tied' Only Murders in the Building Season 5, Episode 5, “Tongue Tied,” makes great strides in and out of the trio’s murder investigation.

Steve Martin’s comedic crown does not slip in this week’s #OMITB. He’s outrageously great in this episode. There’s a bit with him and Selena Gomez that I had to watch multiple times. Also, HOW is Da'Vine Joy Randolph not a series regular yet?! My review:

Bridgerton: Eloise Bridgerton Is the Logical Lead for Season 5 As speculation swirls around which sibling will lead Bridgerton's already-renewed fifth season, we make the case for why it should be Eloise.

For @fangirlish.bsky.social, I wrote about why Eloise (and, #Philoise, if the show sticks to the books’ endgames) should lead #Bridgerton Season 5. And because I’m me, there’s some love for #Benophie in there, too.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5, Episode 4 Review: 'Dirty Birds' Only Murders in the Building Season 5, Episode 4, “Dirty Birds,” asks if the richest people in the world are also the smartest.

As this investigation’s latest suspects come to dinner, “Dirty Birds” teases that Jan Bellows may finally have a worthy rival...or two or three.

For me, this episode solidifies #OMITB Season 5 as the sharpest season yet. Here’s my review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

Yes, I just remembered this app exists. One day, I'll stop forgetting.

‘People We Meet on Vacation’ Looks Like a Dream On the first photos from Netflix’s adaptation of Emily Henry’s romance novel, People We Meet on Vacation, starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth

#POPPYALEX, you're SO loved by me!

For my blog/newsletter, I couldn't help but write a bit about my experience reading #PWMOV and what it feels like to see the first photos from the #PeopleWeMeetOnVacation movie. After all, I'm a very enthusiastic EmHen Girlie now!

Rivals Season 2 Adds Hayley Atwell, Rupert Everett, and Seven More to Cast Hayley Atwell & Rupert Everett are among those joining the cast of Rivals Season 2. How do their characters connect to Rupert Campbell-Black?

I jumped at the chance to write about this #Rivals Season 2 news.

I’m looking forward to the inevitable #Rutag angst. We already know Rupert is a world-class yearner for Taggie. I don’t see anything wrong with MORE of that — and Taggie reciprocating it. Obsessed!

Only Murders in the Building Season 5, Episodes 1-3 Review: "A Piece of Arconia History" Only Murders in the Building Season 5’s 3-episode premiere continues the show's evolution as Charles, Oliver, and Mabel try to enter new eras.

#OMITB is back and better than ever! The three-episode premiere is emotional, gripping & hilarious. The commentary and themes are especially relevant. Steve Martin, Martin Short & Selena Gomez remain absolutely excellent. Here's my review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

I tweeted too many times (I guess?) about #DaredevilBornAgain so my Twitter account got locked. I’m so glad that the app is easier to use and totally not falling apart in any way.

Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 4 Review: 'The Villain's Feast' Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 4, “The Villain’s Feast,” plays games with matters of the heart with the standout backdrop of a murder mystery party.

This week’s #MythicQuest is the definition of FUN. It’s also one of the show’s most romantic episodes yet.

“The Villain’s Feast” channels #Traitors, and it makes me miss when side quests were regular staples in TV seasons.

My review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

YouTube video by Prime Video The Wheel of Time Season 3 - Official Trailer | Prime Video

I don’t even know where to begin with everything — seriously, there is SO MUCH — this #TheWheelOfTime trailer gives us. Every aspect of this already great show appears to have leveled up for Season 3. #WOTWednesday

#NCISSydney Season 2 is already leaps and bounds above its very good debut season. The character depth and tonal balance are GOOD. It has classic #NCISverse energy.

The ensemble's banter? 🔥 Olivia Swann and Todd Lasance's chemistry? 🔥 The rest of the team bending the rules to prove themselves? 🔥

Matlock Season 1, Episode 10 Review: 'Crash Helmets On' Matlock Season 1, Episode 10, “Crash Helmets On,” proves that slowing a story down gives its acceleration a real, all-encompassing payoff.

#Matlock continues to impress me with its pacing across its serialized and procedural arcs. That said, Leah Lewis’s vulnerable performance as Sarah is my favorite part of “Crash Helmets On.”

Here’s my #MatlockCBS review for

Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 1 Review: Con in 60 Seconds Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 1, "Con in 60 Seconds," channels The Fast and the Furious to ensure a heart-pounding return. Read on for our review!

I love how much #WildCards relishes being a consultant procedural drama. I also love how much fun Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti are having as #Ellimax.

Here's my 4⭐️ review of "Con in 60 Seconds" for @telltaletv.bsky.social:

Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 3 Review: 'Breakthrough' Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 3, “Breakthrough,” centers on financial, personal, and professional developments — or the effort to avoid them.

I really like what this week’s #MythicQuest does with Dana, Rachel, and Brad. That story surprised me in the best way. I’m also convinced this episode is a turning point for #GrimmPop.

Here’s my “Breakthrough” review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

I'm rewatching #Scandal (I guess I don't have enough political chaos in my life?), and it's hitting me that the show really kicks into gear when Eli and Jake join in Season 2. I like Season 1, don't get me wrong, but I'm ready for those characters and what they bring — B613! #Olake! — to the show.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sequel Series with Sarah Michelle Gellar In the Works at Hulu The new generation may meet their Chosen One. There is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series in the works at Hulu. Read on for the details!

I can’t believe I wrote this #BTVS news up for @telltaletv.bsky.social.

I still can’t quite wrap my head around #BuffyTheVampireSlayer coming back. It feels so surreal. But, wow, I could use Buffy (and the new Slayer!) back in my life — now more than ever.

Preview — Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 1: Max and Ellis Are Back to Be One of TV’s Best Duos Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Giannotti are back as Max and Ellis on Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 1, "Con in 60 Seconds." Read on for our preview!

Prepare to be SO sick of me because one of my favorite TV duos — #Ellimax — is coming back on Wednesday, and it looks like they're channeling #FastAndFurious vibes. What's not to love?!

Animal Control Season 3 Episode 5 Review: Hot Dogs and Lobsters Animal Control Season 3 Episode 5, Hot Dogs and Lobsters," pours hot sauce in wounds when the pack causes chaos at trivia night. Read on for our review!

#AnimalControlFOX is on a 5⭐️ episode roll! “Hot Dogs and Lobsters” is a literal howling good time with some of my favorite character developments in the show’s run — so far.

Here’s my review for @telltaletv.bsky.social:

Matlock Season 1, Episode 9 Review: 'Friends' Matlock Season 1, Episode 9, “Friends,” acts as a reminder that friendships are just as complicated and critical as other relationships.

#MatlockCBS is back!

It’s still one of the best shows on TV. Refreshingly, “Friends” reiterates how influential and transformative friendships can be by exploring Matty and Olympia’s ever-evolving friendship.

Here’s my #Matlock review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

‘My Old Ass’ Director Megan Park Sets YA Series at Amazon With Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, LuckyChap (EXCLUSIVE) "My Old Ass" writer and director Megan Park has landed a series order at Amazon Prime Video for the drama "Sterling Point"

Maybe there is hope for YA TV after all!

Megan Park (My Old Ass! The Fallout!), Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl! The OC!) sound like a dream team to me.

Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 2 Review: '1000%' Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 2, “1000%,” takes the characters' efforts to be bold to another, AI-generated level.

"1000%" brings the Ethics Committee back with entertaining results, highlights why the show always needs more of Naomi Ekperigin as Carol, and reminds everyone that #GrimmPop is irreplaceable. #MythicQuest Season 4 is off to a strong start!

Here's my review for @fangirlish.bsky.social:

Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 1 Review: 'Boundaries' Mythic Quest Season 4, Episode 1, “Boundaries,” twists and turns dynamics until the lines between the professional and personal are blurry.

My favorite misfits are back!

“Boundaries” sets Jo (and maybe even Brad) up for overdue self-reflection, sees Dana — with Rachel in her corner — stand up for artists like herself, and puts #GrimmPop in the middle of an unexpected Storm.

I like cases that involve the whole team. The ensemble is one of #TheRookie’s most underrated assets. I also love the emphasis on #Wopez (If you know me, you know I’m their #1 fan) so far this season.
