“War and Peace” is the sort of drama that would elicit many a groan from a younger generation. You are effectively adapting one of the densest novels in the history of literature, and there are some that simply will balk at the prospect. Others will consider it boring mostly because of the source material. However, […]
For anyone out there wondering if Gillian Anderson’s busy schedule is going to eventually make her consider leaving “The Fall,” we’ve got a few simple words for you: Don’t count on it. Rather, the actress behind Stella Gibson seems to be more than intent to telling these complex stories for some time still. In a […]
Tonight on BBC One, the network unveiled one of their most ambitious programs yet in their adaptation of “War and Peace.” Trying to adapt Leo Tolstoy’s greatest work is no easy task, especially when you consider that it only has six episodes in order to do so. Hey, “Game of Thrones” gets at least ten […]
It’s easy to applaud everything that Mariska Hargitay brings to “Law & Order: SVU,” and not just because of her work as Olivia Benson or the way that she continues to promote many social causes away from the show. She also serves as a producer on the show, and has now directed multiple installments of […]
There is disaster coming on an upcoming episode of “Chicago Fire,” and let’s just say that this is something that yet again could put some of the characters through their paces.

We’re of course speaking of “Charlotte’s Web,” the upcoming January 19 episode that is going to mark another […]
Monday night’s new episode of “Scorpion” is entitled “White Out” for a reason: There are going to be long stretches of time in which you see Team Scorpion stuck out in the snow. In order to save a Special Forces unit near the South Pole, we’re going to see Walter O’Brien, Toby, and the rest […]
We feel like there is only one word that can be used to describe “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride,” and that is “success.” While it is certainly not a consensus that everyone loved the special on New Year’s Day, it brought the BBC its highest ratings by far of the holiday season in 8.4 million viewers.
