Cheers to Project Blue Book
for its X-ceptional odd couple. Hynek (Aidan Gillen) and Quinn (Michael Malarkey) were an engaging, prickly pair that kept Season 1 of History’s UFO drama grounded even as the skies filled with cases ripped from real life.
Jeers to American Idol
for focusing on the wrong talent. ABC’s reboot returned to find a new singing star, but the season premiere spent so much time on the jokey vibes between judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan, most auditioners barely had a chance to shine.
Jeers to Netflix
for not completing its Grand Designs. The addictive British series about outlandishly constructed homes has been running in the UK for 19 seasons—plus spin-offs!—yet there are only two years of episodes available for streaming. Way to undervalue an incredible property.
Cheers to USA’s Suits
for its finely tailored season finale. In addition to delivering a crafty twist that showcased the always awesome Wendell Pierce (as exiting partner Robert Zane), fans also got a hookup between Donna and Harvey (Sarah Rafferty and Gabriel Macht) that was as hard-earned as it was hot.
