Raymond Lee (Here and Now) and Brian Howe (The Newsroom) are set as series regulars opposite Eric Petersen and Annie Murphy in AMC’s dark comedy series Kevin Can F*** Himself, from Valerie Armstrong, Rashida Jones and Will McCormack and AMC Studios.
Created and executive produced by Armstrong, Kevin Can F*** Himself probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the sitcom wife (Murphy). It looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes. Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and takes the lead in her own life.
Lee will play Sam Beverly, strong, cool and handsome with a ‘Brooklyn Hipster-lite’ vibe, he is a recent returnee to Worcester where he has opened an upscale diner (think...

This week’s Chicago Fire had all the elements that make this show great. We had three parallel plots, and each of them served to round out this episode with all the aspects of a perfect night with our favorite firefighters and paramedics. “And Then Nick Porter Happened” was as funny and dramatic as it was suspenseful — but I do […]...

The ever-changing musical chairs of living arrangements strikes again.
Not only did Chicago Fire Season 8 Episode 12 see Brett and Cruz getting not one, but two new roommates -- albeit one was temporary -- but Severide decided to take the plunge and ask Kidd to live with him ... again.
If you're having trouble keeping track of who's lived with who, you're not alone. The SparkNotes version is essentially that everyone at 51 has lived with someone else at the firehouse at one point or another.
You know what they say: Those who work together, live together.
All kidding aside, I enjoyed Brett and Cruz's search for a new roommate, as it provided both levity and familiarity.
We've met Nick Porter before, so it didn't seem like moving in with Brett and Cruz wasn't a huge stretch. He's not part of the 51 family, but he's not a stranger either.
He's interacted with the...

All well-developed television characters have layers.
The longer you watch a show and the more you get to know the people on it, the more the layers start to unravel.

There are some characters who try to come off as tough for either their sake or other's, when in reality, they're just like everyone else.
We created a slideshow below of 19 tough TV characters with squishy soft sides!
1. Conrad Hawkins - The Resident Conrad tried to come off as arrogant and unfeeling when he first met his new intern. But it really only took twenty minutes to realize that Conrad is a huge softie who cares about his patients more than anything. 2.

Welcome to Brooklyn. And more importantly, welcome to the world of The Village.
Thus far it seems like an interesting world, full of a host of different personalities.
There's the older couple, who seemingly takes everyone under their wings, and the young wannabe lawyer who's always on the go but continually getting pestered by his grandfather.
And of course, there's That twist at the end. Yes, The Village Season 1 Episode 1 took a cue from another NBC drama and gave us an ending we need a minute to wrap our heads around.
An ensemble drama can be a tricky thing to navigate, as there will inevitably be characters and storylines that aren't as intriguing as others.

The writing has to be concise and impactful, and when you have a cast that exceeds eight or so, it's difficult to give them all the same weighted storylines.

Even by the standards of network television, NBC’s “The Village” wears its inspiration boldly and openly: It’s “This Is Us,” except set among the disparate residents of an apartment building rather than the members of a family. “The Village” leans, hard, into the “This Is Us” formula of trauma-as-drama, deriving its tone from its characters perpetually making their way through the worst days of their lives and building moments of emotional catharsis and connection practically before every ad break.
Which is fine, as far as it goes — the medium runs on repetition, with slight alteration, and “This Is Us,” a surprisingly durable hit, is as good a template to crib as any. But, though it has plenty of its own issues, “This Is Us” is a notably well-acted and tonally consistent series. “The Village,” by contrast, veers all over the map and does not boast actors capable of...
