Cheers to Regina King
For reigning in the Animal Kingdom. Turns out, the Emmy winning powerhouse from American Crime is just as ferocious behind the camera. King, who has helmed other shows, directed the July 12th episode of TNT’s sexy-cool crime drama, reuniting her with Southland costar Shawn Hatosy and causing us to wonder if there is anything this woman can’t do.
Cheers to Outlander
for leaving us wanting moors. By ending its exquisite second season with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in 1960s Scotland and realizing that sexy soulmate Jamie (Sam Hueghan) may have survived the 1746 Battle of Culloden Moor, even time-travel can’t get us to Season 3 soon enough.
Jeers to PLL’s “A.D.”
We should have known Ali’s awful husband Elliott (Huw Collins) was the one tormenting the Pretty Little Liars girls. Not only did he torture her in the psych ward for allegedly offing Charlotte, he was also hiding a British accent. Did we learn nothing from trusting creepster Wren?! These guys put the UK in “yuck.”
Jeers to the mother of all Emmy snubs
As The Goldbergs’ bedazzled, big-haired momster Bev, Wendi McLendon-Covey is never less than a scream-riot portrait of power-mad parenting with a heart of gold. It is about time the Academy gave her a statue of one, too.
