I love seeing the surge in non-fiction TV programming, as more and more news and information platforms try to find new audiences with new formats in a medium some critics have been incorrectly calling a dinosaur for the last 20 years. I have sung the praises of docu-series like Showtime’s “The...
WJZ-TV lost almost half of its 5 p.m. news audience in a key demographic during the May sweeps in the wake of a controversial question by anchorwoman Mary Bubala and her subsequent firing, according to figures confirmed by the Nielsen Co. and WJZ. While ratings can be read, analyzed and spun in...
Idris Elba, Russell Crowe, Emma Thompson, Ben Kingsley, Ruth Wilson and Laura Linney. Even in an era that has rightfully come to be known as a golden age of TV drama, that’s a lot of talent for any new season. But that’s only part of the lineup for dramas premiering just in June on cable or streamed...
If the ugly video attempt to smear Nancy Pelosi that was fully aided and abetted by the president of the United States, his personal lawyer and the Fox Business Network makes you as angry as it has me, here’s more maddening news: It’s only a warm-up for where our politics are headed in coming weeks...

So many things wrong with that. First, couples dancing later in the show are receiving...
Bring yourselves back online, my friends. I’m taking a busman’s holiday of sorts from recapping “This Is Us” to recap the, er, challenging “Westworld.” Y’all want to hear something hilarious? I thought the different time periods in “This Is Us” were difficult to manage. HAHAHAHAHA hoo boy, I crack...
Each week William Lee and Nina Metz recap and discuss the second season of “Westworld,” which airs Sundays on HBO. Note: Spoilers ahead We pick up in the aftermath of Season 1, as the park’s robots continue to exact bloody revenge on their human tormentors. 1. The hosts have taken control Will...
I’ve got to confess: I teared up a little there. I’m not sure those tears were fairly won on Sunday’s season finale of “The Walking Dead,” an episode that gave us, at last, the end of the All-Out War. I’m not sure I shouldn’t be approaching the end of the eighth season with the same skepticism...
