The Young Folks

The Shadowhunters finale was an exciting ride. It may have not been the best episode of the season, but it surely had some interesting moments. Hodge completely messed up his chances for a nice life.

Shadowhunters “Morning Star” Review (Season 1 Episode 13)

By Jordan Alsaqa

In a way, this episode had everything we’ve come to expect from Shadowhunters. There were laughably bad green-screen shots, terrible special effects and random character interactions galore, as well as the lack of any real tension in the plot we all know and… well, love’s not the right word. “Mor...

Vulture (New York Magazine)

You know how sometimes a TV show will switch up its usual narrator for another narrator? This is that episode for Limitless. Brian is still the protagonist, but it's Rebecca's turn to narrate and stuff. Which makes sense! She has spent a lot of time getting yanked around by Brian's ... More »

One of the strongest and yet most understated components of Limitless’ first, and hopefully not final, season has been Jennifer Carpenter as Rebecca Harris.
