Babylon Berlin is set in Berlin when it was the center of the world for brassy jazz, exquisite drinking, all night dancing, artistic expression, and breathtaking sex. All of it happening as the worst imaginable nightmares are waiting for them right around the corner.

This is the fifth episode of the entire show, though if I had seen it out of order my only clue that it wasn’t one of Nicholas Colasanto’s last episodes would be Diane’s clothes and the lack of Frasier. How immediately cohesive this show was from its origin: George Wendt is greeted with a rambunctious “Norm!”, Diane’s trill of “Norman” quick behind. Sam wiggles in overture at Diane, who flits him away, only for her to lose her balance in the flit and land on her face.

First. A dream. It worked in the 80s. Dallas is one of the most iconic series of all time. No one questioned The Dream. Pam Ewing, known for hitting the sauce, passed out, nightmared that she flattened Bobby with his Mercedes, woke up, found him singing in the shower.  

The season four finale plays out over two devastating storylines. In one thread, Jimmy (refuses to) grapple with the death of his brother Chuck. This exploration of grief leads Jimmy to officially adopt the moniker Saul Goodman. Until this point, we have only known the main protagonist as the charming fuckup Jimmy McGill.

“Connor's Wedding” (S4 E3) starts off exactly as it sounds: the gang gears up for their elder half-brother's wedding to the (incredible!) Willa, who none of them respect. Connor has essentially purchased his bride to be; she was a call girl when they started “dating”, and the previous episode centered around his being in his feels, as Willa had run away from their rehearsal dinner.

While I watched the show, I made sure to keep track of everything Skyler did. I was curious, what could she have done that made her so hated?

A black-and-white behind-the-scenes photo from Episode 12, “Angels on Wheels,” shows Fawcett in a roller derby rink, leaning forward, hands on knees, smiling at the camera.

This story starts with a chihuahua named Pablo. No. I’ll go back further. Criminal Minds is a television procedural that started in 2005, which is when I first fell in love with my TV boyfriend

This episode might be the one in which Sally is at her strongest, in her willingness to put her safety before her desire to please others. She had spent months laboring over her new TV show, creating and starring in this series oriented around abuse. After only twelve hours on the streaming site, the producers defer to the algorithm and something called taste clusters and decide to pull the entire show.  

Doakes is what you’d want your personal trainer to look like or your local bar’s bouncer assigned to remove an unruly patron. I imagine he’d make a great boyfriend. He’d kick any guy's ass that looked at me the wrong way. No offense to my wife, I’m sure she would try her best, but you know - she’s just not Doakes. So, when Doakes walked into a crime scene and damn near shit his pants, it was clear season 1, episode 10 of Dexter was only beginning.
