The world of prostitution has been a fascination of director Steven Soderbergh since 2009's The Girlfriend Experience, and with his 13-episode series of the same name debuting on Starz this weekend, it’s clear he’s not tired of the subject. How sex work is portrayed—and there’s no shortage of those portrayals in film…
It was difficult to get Tom Sandoval on the phone for an interview.
During the final few minutes of Tuesday night’s perfect finale of American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, the audience was shown a series of Where Are They Now-type frames commonly found at the end of shows and movies based on real people and events. We saw side-by-side comparisons of Marcia Clark and Sarah…
Sad Dancing With the Stars Diaries is a series in which we imagine the innermost feelings of Dancing With the Stars contestants, as written in their “journals.”
New Latina-focused show incoming: an as-yet untitled drama executive-produced by Selena Gomez for Freeform, reports Deadline, about a teen girl living in a low-income barrio who is “destined for greatness.” While the description that it’s set to be a “Latina Empire” sounds potentially dubious based on that brief…
Despite becoming a cultural phenomenon at home, shows like Empire aren’t attracting the same number of viewers abroad, leading some to believe that the world just isn’t ready for African American stories outside of America. But it’s not that simple: the business of television is changing.
Bachelor franchise creator Mike Fleiss, who is apparently now spoiling his own show in an attempt to outpace Reality Steve, has indirectly confirmed the latter’s claim that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is featured on a Bachelorette group date during the show’s upcoming season.

To be clear, few of us have likely watched six seasons The Walking Dead for its compelling, literary teleplays. We watch it to imagine how we might survive the apocalypse and, above all, we watch it to see zombies kill and be killed, preferably in gnarly, grisly fashion, with lots of sinewy muscle and gore that…
Buffy the Vampire Slayer rocked our world, and it remains one of the all-time greatest TV shows. The story of a fated vampire-hunter who tries to live a normal life in high school, Buffy still has few worthy successors. And it has so much to teach us about good writing.
In a life-changing development for me personally, People reported today that Sarah Palin will, God willing, soon be starring in a new reality television courtroom show. As the judge. Sarah Palin will be the judge. Take a moment to screw your heads back onto your bodies, we’ll wait.
I have not watched a new Netflix series in its entirety since Master of None. Love didn’t excite me. Flaked seemed like my worst nightmare. And though I watched every episode of Fuller House in a single afternoon, it counts more as lost time than actual television viewing. One show I will watch, however, is Santa…
The game show is on the rise, according to my coworker and cultural analyst Kate Dries, and far be it from Christina Aguilera to stay off that train. This year, the singer will executive-produce a Spike TV game show called Tracks, in which contestants will be required to name a song based solely on hearing its…
At one point, TLC made it seem as if America had seen the last of the Duggar clan. Hahaha.
Diva Supreme Mariah Carey is reportedly shooting a documentary special chronicling her Las Vegas residency, meaning she’s changed her tune about reality television.
With just over a month and a half to go, we finally have it—our first proper look at Game of Thrones’ sixth season. Without the books to guide us, we don’t really know what’s going to happen (or, we’re not supposed to). But we can still break down a lot of what we can see in this new trailer. Care to join us?
It’s been over 20 years since Xena: Warrior Princess first came to our screens, but the love of Xena (and Gabrielle) burns as bright as ever. Now Xena’s coming back, in a big way. We asked Javier Grillo-Marxuach, showrunner of the new Xena TV show, and Genevieve Valentine, writer of the new Xena comic book, to…
HBO’s Vinyl—the romanticization of my literal nightmare of rock dudes snorting coke and yammering about the industry while you, a woman, sit there silently stewing—didn’t have a great debut on the Nielsen charts!
Master of None is coming back, but it’s going to be awhile.
What does divorce look like in the White House? If it involves Frank and Claire Underwood of House of Cards, apparently, people are being smothered with drinking glasses and a faucet is dripping blood.
