NBC clearly wants (and expects) its new action/thriller series ‘Blindspot’ to target the same audience that made ‘The Blacklist’ such a hit. The two shows will probably make a good pairing, though this one ...
After my spending half a season complaining that the show has merely replayed storylines already familiar from the Thomas Harris novel and its two movie adaptations, ‘Hannibal’ finally went off-book, so to speak, with ...
Unless some other broadcast network or streaming content provider comes through with a last-minute Hail Mary, we are on the verge of the series finale for ‘Hannibal’. While it hasn’t always been a perfect show, a...
