Cheers to HBO
for hooking us up with a freebie. For a limited time, the cable net is making nearly 500 hours of programming available to stream at no charge to help folks pass the time at home. Now you can actually watch The Wire instead of just telling everyone you have.
Cheers to The Rookie
for booking Grand Hotel alum Roselyn Sánchez (pictured) on the ABC drama. As an L.A. reporter who roped Chen (Melissa O’Neil) into a dangerous story, the so-watchable star got to spar–and spark–with real-life hubby Eric Winter, whose Officer Bradford found the newsy a tad too nosy.
Jeers to Empire
for ending its reign so abruptly. We get that Fox had to shut down production before the series finale wrapped, but is it too much to ask Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard (pictured) to do a Zoom table read so fans can get one last Lyon share?
Jeers to How to Get Away with Murder
for trying to get away with an insane twist. Yes, this one has been over the top since Day 1, but even Annalise (Viola Davis) would object to Gabriel (Rome Flynn) trying to ID Asher’s killer based on the jewelry he thinks he saw on them while spying on the crime in the dark, from under a closed door!
