Since premiering in 2004 in the U.K., Shameless has since become a hit show in the U.S. after its premiere on Showtime. The second version of the series premiered in 2011, but has followed the plot and characters of the first series pretty closely so far. The plot of the two shows centers around a family living in poverty, whose members are forced to deal with their constantly drunk father, Frank Gallagher, the head of the family.
With Mad Men and Breaking Bad set to sign off in the next year, is the age of the male antagonist drawing to a close? It certainly seems that way, as shows fronted by female protagonists, who embody many of the same traits as their male precursors, begin to emerge in the TV landscape. Among these new ranks are the leads in Orphan Black, American Horror Story: Asylum, Orange is the New Black, The Fall, and Top of the Lake.
With AMC’s Breaking Bad set to begin its final eight episode run, it’s time to take a quick look back at what happened during the first half of the fifth season, and speculate on where things will end up as the finale approaches. Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Saul Goodman, and Hank Schrader will all be back on August 11, 2013.
The Newsroom’s second season is set to premiere on Sunday, July 14. The show stars Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, a news anchor struggling in a behind the scenes type of show that gives viewers a glimpse into the newsroom at Atlantic Cable News. Let’s take a look at some of the events that happened in the previous season as we prepare to watch the season two premiere in a week. If you have not started watching yet, it is not too late to join this well written and exciting drama.
The final season of the Showtime drama Dexter premieres Sunday, June 30th, and we take a look back to the previous season and speculate what might await Dexter and Debra Morgan, as well as the rest of the series’ characters, in the show’s eighth season.
This episode we take a look back at the good, bad, and Dany of season 3. The topic of race also pops up, but overall how does this season compare with the prior seasons and the books, which we vaguely talk about with no book spoilers, but of course, there are spoilers for the TV show ahead.
Season five of True Blood was heavy on the blood, sex, and supernatural – all in all, not that different than seasons past. It’s been a while since we last saw the Bon Temps gang, so here’s a look back at what Sookie Stackhouse, Jason, Eric, Pam, Bill, Alcide, and the rest of the vampires, werewolves, and fairies, were up to in season five.
Certain shows have returned after cancellation, in the form of new episodes or a film. A few examples of this phenomenon are Arrested Development, Family Guy and, most recently, Entourage. This new idea shows the great power that audiences have as viewers of a show.
Season 2 of The Killing was frequently frustrating, but solid storytelling laid the groundwork for a compelling third season, premiering Sunday, June 2. A review of season 2 with hints about what’s to come in season 3.
