The 2024 Winter Television Critics Association press tour kicked off on February 5, 2024, the first major TV presentation since the end of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023. Apple TV+ kicked off the event with a full slate of upcoming series and returning hits it had lined

Trying first debuted on Apple TV+ in May 2020 as part of the streaming service's first-year offerings after its launch in November 2019. The British comedy, about a couple who turn to adoption after they fail to conceive naturally or via IVF, was not the breakout hit

Before we get into this week's The Woman in the Wall, let's talk about the elephant in the room, especially in light of the opening flashback where Lorna remembers telling Clemence she wished for a boy and Colman's dream sequence where Father Percy is

It's been over a year since FX CEO John Landgraf first casually mentioned the network had scooped up the rights to Patrick Radden Keefe's best-selling nonfiction novel Say Nothing about the Troubles in Ireland. Unfortunately, that was all FX said about it at the time,

The true history of the British Special Forces, known as the SAS, has been a popular subject in the last few decades as classified documents from the era pass into the public record. The shoestring and chewing gum operations of the era have been the stuff of legend since the

When Robert Thorogood initially created the British/French mystery series Death in Paradise in 2011, he probably didn't envision it as a series that would be on its fourth lead detective by the time it hit Season 10 or reach a level of popularity that it would be

I said Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office was "perfect PBS fare;" apparently, Masterpiece agreed with me. The anthology series agreed with me so much that it has upended the entire planned spring schedule for 2024 to make room for it. PBS announced today that Suranne Jones'

Last week's The Woman in the Wall premiere ended with the shock of being a much more literal title than I would have assumed. One morning, after waking from a troubled sleep, Lorna Brady discovered she had a dead body in her house; after a day or so
