We’re just going to come right out and say it: This may be one of the weirdest fucking things we’ve seen while covering the news here. This morning, The Boston Globe announced that Kevin Spacey has been charged with felony sexual assault over allegations that he assaulted the teenage son of a Boston-area news anchor…

Putting “Last Rites” as early in the season as it is was a big gamble. The episode took a lot of long-standing components of Runaways out of the equation: the dig site, the threat of a world-ending (or at least California-ending) earthquake, Julian McMahon. And since then, the season has floundered a bit, trying to…

It’s December 24, a day that may or may not have any particular significance to you, but for us at The A.V. Club it means taking a break from everything for a bit so we can, you know, not do anything. It’s also Christmas eve, which is when those of us who follow pop culture like to argue about whether or not it’s…

For the bulk of the season, I’ve been talking a lot about how Runaways missions need to include all of the kids—otherwise, they become heavily reliant on one person (usually Nico) in a way that sidelines everyone else. Consider “Earth Angel” the exception that proves the rule.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, December 24. All times are Eastern.

“Wilmington” highlights—in the most horrifying of ways—Outlander’s persistent Brianna problem. The show has never quite figured out how Brianna fits into its narrative, at times using her and Roger to parallel Claire and Jamie but at others seemingly doing the exact opposite and evoking a dynamic that is increasingly…

Until this penultimate episode, Escape At Dannemora has distinguished itself as a character-driven drama, more remarkable for its subtleties and for the ways it used its bigger, flashier moments—like, for instance, the titular escape—to illuminate certain truths about its characters (especially the truths they…

Whether it’s a ploy for awards consideration or not, Netflix’s recent decision to give some of its highest-profile original movies a small theatrical rollout seems a bit like an acknowledgment that there are—sometimes—better ways to experience a movie than streaming it in your stupid, boring house. Now, that…
