Lots of shows aren’t filmed in the city in which they are set. Vancouver and Georgia are popular substitutes. It may not always be convincing, but Empire, which films in Chicago, may be the most egregious when it comes to not even trying to look like it’s in New York, but that’s not the only giveaway. In the latest episode, “True Love Never,” there were four glaring moments that made me wonder if the crew has ever stepped foot in Gotham.
Our guilty pleasure Quantico is a glorious combo of Homeland, Melrose Place and How to Get Away with Murder. The series is about mysterious, secretive and shady models hooking up and fighting terrorism. Their fearless leader is agent/professor Miranda Shaw, a BAMF who may be crazy. Here are some theories about the cryptic character.
We here at TVRD love watching Sleepy Hollow, writing about Sleepy Hollow, Tweeting about Sleepy Hollow and hearing what our fellow Sleepyheads have to say. This time around, Barbara Ruffin is weighing in on “This Red Lady from Caribee.” She has a couple of conspiracy theories that I hadn’t even considered because I was too busy focusing on Abbie’s hair and that date Crane went on with the extra.
This was a solid episode as long as you dismiss a few minutes involving an extra, who is shipping herself with Crane. We got a brief glimpse at Abbie and Daniel’s past relationship, there are huge developments on the Jenny & Joe Show and Pandora is just warming up.
Olivia will always prefer the dream of making jam in Vermont with Fitz to lazing on a sunny island with Jake, but since Ballard always comes back for more, he should at least step up his game.
Laurel is working hard to be the most useless member of the Keating 5. Laurel whines to Annalise because she wants approval for her creepy relationship with Frank.
Soooooo, Ichabod goes on a date with Crextra. In the last episode, he offered to escort her to dinner. “Escort” better not mean “treat.” If Ichabod reaches into his pocket, I will reach through the screen, grab that hibachi knife and shiv him myself.
Watching the Thriller video. The long version runs a little over 13 minutes. The greatest music video of all time runs longer than Hakeem’s kidnapping and the zombies were more interesting.
