Every time I sit down to watch Game of Thrones, I wonder if this will be the episode that makes me quit. How long before my enjoyment of these characters turns to ashes in my mouth? My biggest problem with the show isn’t even the hideous misogyny or the over-the-top

Hannibal Delivers High-Stakes, Violent Thrill Ride
“’Hannibal the Cannibal.’ That’s what they’ll call him,” quips Frederick Chilton in the latest episode of Bryan Fuller’s cult hit TV series, Hannibal. Finally, someone said it. Imagined as a prequel to Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (the first novel to feature Dr. Hannibal Lecter) and loosely inspired by the sequels
Join the Teen Wolf Pack
I never wanted to watch Teen Wolf. And yet, curiosity got the best of me. Initially, the highest praise I’d heard of the show was that all the actors were really hot. Then, I began to hear through the grapevine that the show had moved on to more serious themes.
Community Returns Strong After Season 4 Slump

Debut Shows Shine in Primetime’s New Fall Lineup
I had planned to add only one new show to my already busy fall TV lineup as of a month ago. Now I’ve seen 11 pilots and plan to add six new shows. Few of them have me obsessing, but I see a lot of potential. I’m not sure how
A Hunger Games-Style Reality Show to Capture Your Attention
I hate reality TV. It’s overproduced, obviously scripted, and often poorly executed. It lies to us without owning up to the deception. If I want to see strangers betray each other while attempting to survive on a remote island, forget Survivor; I’m going to watch Lost. I cut my last tie
