This episode goes in a loop-de-loop. It starts and the end and it ends at the start. This episode (almost) goes in a loop de loop. It starts at the end and it ends and the start. This—

Ensuring that we’ll have to spend yet another year laboriously typing out every damn period in Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. whenever the topic of still-extant superhero shows comes up, ABC announced today that it’s already ordered up a seventh season of the long-running MCU spin-off series, before its sixth has…

The dramatic template for Netflix’s ongoing Narcos series doesn’t change much in its new “parallel” spinoff, Narcos: Mexico. Drug empires corrupt entire countries, from the individuals touched by them right up through every level of law enforcement and government. Good cops—especially those from the United States…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, November 16 and Saturday, November 17. All times are Eastern.

The Good Place’s points system for judging the eventual worth of a human life is intentionally inscrutable and unfair—who among us hasn’t occasionally been moved to steal copper wiring from a decommissioned military base, huh?—but we’re pretty sure that surreptitiously filming your cast mates in a moment of unguarded…

In addition to being one of the best shows on TV, The Good Place is a dense knot of running jokes, visual humor, references to dense philosophy tomes, and breadcrumbs for later episodes. In order to help you keep it all straight, The A.V. Club will be annotating the show’s third season. Catch something that we didn’t?…

Look, let’s be very clear: We’re always happy to see Will Forte get more work. (R.I.P. Last Man On Earth, MacGruber, and the SNL potato chip NASA guy.) And current Saturday Night Live cast member Heidi Gardner is a consistent treat. But still: There’s something a little on the nose in the news that Syfy has just hired…

We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but this television thing has become a pretty big deal. Even big movie stars who wouldn’t normally be caught dead watching a TV have signed on to TV projects recently, which has been the case for a long time now but we’re pretending its a new trend for comedic effect! Anyway, according…

Netflix took another stab at expanding its considerable slate of animated offerings today, albeit in one of the weirder ways we’ve seen in recent years: Per THR, the company has picked up the four-episode miniseries The Liberator, which combines a story of World War II atrocities with a new and ambitious animation…

Hulu’s Veronica Mars revival already has Max Greenfield reprising his role from the original series, Patton Oswalt playing a pizza delivery guy who is obsessed with murder, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste reuniting with her Good Place buddy Kristen Bell, and now—in addition to nearly everybody else from the original…

Actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani continues to parlay his lifelong nerd-dom into starring roles in some of sci-fi and horror’s most celebrated franchises; the Big Sick star—who had a major role in an episode of the first revived series of The X-Files, after years of doing a podcast about the show—has now scored a…

December is typically a wintry month well-suited to Holiday-themed content, but apparently nobody told Amazon Prime about our human traditions. The streaming service clearly couldn’t care less about holidays or wintriness, as its offerings in December could just as easily be coming in one of the loser months like May…

Even if you don’t have a ridiculous amount of money to blow on stupid garbage, everybody loves a good auction of pop culture memorabilia. Where else can you get a shirt with a bird on it that was worn by a guy on TV, or a stapler you may have seen in the background once, or an opportunity to be buried in a famous grave

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, November 15. All times are Eastern.

The apocalypse has finally come to an end. After nine episodes that seemed practically plodding after the overstuffed episodes of last year’s Cult, the season finale packed in everything, including so many clips from those last nine episodes you’d have to be forgiven for thinking an editor had been sleeping on the job…

For years now, author Lee Child has had to field questions about Paramount’s adaptations of his popular Jack Reacher novels, and, specifically, why anyone thought that wee little Hollywood action man Tom Cruise was a good fit for the hulking, physically imposing former military policeman described in the bestselling…

Doctor Who has done 13 Christmas specials in the many years since it began in 1963, but this year, someone at the BBC finally realized that “Who” rhymes with “new” and decided that a New Year’s Day special might make more sense. Thanks to that brilliant revelation, Doctor Who will be skipping Christmas this year in…

Break open the blood casks and prepare to shatter the seals: The prophesied hour of darkness if finally upon us, as TVLine reports that television’s two Sheldons—Young, and Regular-Sized—are finally preparing to meet. The site reports that Iain Armitage—who plays The Sheldon Of Christmas Past on CBS’s Big Bang Theory …

Here’s a thing that rests comfortably between “Hey, this could be pretty awesome” and “Hey, this is none of our business”: Discovery Channel will be airing a live broadcast from the bottom of one of the largest submerged sinkholes in the world. Explorers will be diving into the infamous Blue Hole, located about 46…
