Suit up, friends, it’s time for the wedding of the century: Alice and… (checks notes) some poor schmo named Danny (Tommy McDonnell). It’s two years later in the world of Alice & Jack, after she declared herself too wounded for love and trounced Jack’s foolish heart. An

The third episode of Nolly is the best episode of the series. It is the most open and reflective of the trio, focusing on themes like the significance of the stories we tell ourselves; the value of maintaining good friendships across time and space; the sadness of realizing that you

After two weeks of relatively happy endings, Call the Midwife decided to put us through it in week three. We settled to have a good time with our favorite midwives and nurses and instead had our hearts in our throats for the majority of the episode. Luckily, we did not

The premiere episode of Nolly closed on our titular heroine screaming right into the camera, all of the vexation, confusion, fury, and sadness of her unexplained and unceremonious sacking from the successful soap opera Crossroads pouring out in one anguished howl.

If anyone has been feeling their inner feminist starving for energy, then this week's episode of Call the Midwife is the answer. The issues that popped up in Poplar in the second episode of Season 13 for our favorite midwives and nurses all had one common denominator: men,

It is a rare series that Masterpiece keeps the plot of under wraps, unless it's something the PBS anthology series doesn't have control over. (Downton Abbey, for example, was as much about ITV wanting spoilers kept quiet as it was anything else.) However, MaryLand has been
