At last, here is the trailer (via E! News) for the documentary about Whitney Houston that her estate doesn’t really want anyone to see.

Oliver Stone appeared on Monday night’s The Late Show to promote his Vladimir Putin documentary and looked every bit uncomfortable as Stephen Colbert questioned the director’s alarmingly unchallenging interview with a dictator.

“The good Dale is in the lodge, and he can’t leave.”

The new incarnation of Twin Peaks will debut in just 16 days—not that I have a daily counter plugged to my phone or anything!—and Showtime is very slowly leaking videos that serve as breadcrumb clues to how the show will play out. Today’s video is called “Some familiar faces 25 years later.” And, wow, it looks like…

Some very exciting casting news for Lena Waithe’s forthcoming Showtime series The Chi.

There are still several months to go before David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is back. Plenty of time to catch up on the original run of the show, and do so with a damn fine cup of coffee.

Showtime has ordered a pair of series that might be worth checking out: a Chicago-based show created by Lena Waithe and a comedian-based series from Jamie Foxx starring Jay Pharoah.

Emmy Rossum, who’s reportedly renegotiating her salary leading up to Season 8 of Shameless, is demanding to get paid on par with her co-star William H. Macy.

At the end of Season 4, William “Bill” Masters and Virginia Johnson started a new chapter in their lives, becoming partners on a whole new level. Showtime saw that more as an ending than a beginning, unfortunately.

This season of Shameless is about various journeys of maturation, most notably of Fiona (Emmy Rossum), who finally has decided to take care of herself before her siblings, and Ian (Cameron Monaghan), who’s discovering the limits of his sexuality.

We’ve watched the young characters—and actors— of Shameless grow up before our eyes, and so it’s remarkable to be in the seventh season, seeing little Liam old enough to go off to school by himself, Ian dealing with the vagaries of a grown-folk relationship, and Lip completing his first stint in rehab (but maybe not…

Throughout Vinyl’s first—and now final—season, my opinion changed ever so slightly from when I first wrote about its debut episode. Vinyl remained absurd, overly nostalgic, ahistorical and evenly lionizing of men, but at the very least, the effervescent Juno Temple got to shine a little and, even better, the “getting…

Penny Dreadful is a slow-burning and terrific show, one that for the last three seasons has taken iconic literary figures—Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Dracula—and used them to explore the pathos behind monstrosity. It’s also pitch-perfect at capturing the gloom of 19th century London, the tenor of Victorian horror,…

All Things Must Pass is director Colin Hanks’s documentary about the history of Tower Records, which in 1960 became the first store in America to sell records exclusively, and which incomparably shaped youth culture and music consumption until its bankruptcy in 2006. It came out last October in limited release, but…

The Affair moonlights as a mystery, the question of who hit and killed wayward junkie Scott Lockhart with their car threading through and unraveling the whole of the show, which wrapped its second season Sunday night. (As a plot device, vehicular manslaughter also propelled a show that, without it, would consist…

The Affair, an excellent show about the nuances and complications of infidelity and self-identity interspersed with fuckloads of sex scenes, commenced its second season last night, expanding its two-person perspective to four by including the viewpoints of spurned spouses Helen and Cole.

On Showtime’s hit series The Affair, premiering October 4th for a second season, Dominic West plays Noah Solloway, a man who seems to have it all: Happily (and faithfully) married to his first love Helen (Maura Tierney) for seventeen years; four healthy children; financial stability; a newly published novel; and a…

Just Kids, Patti Smith’s National Book Award-winning memoir about her relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe, is being developed into a limited series for Showtime.
