By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 19, 2017 4:30 pm EST If you’re not watching this show, you should be. I’ve already binged my way through the ten-episode first season and it has a great cast (Giovanni Ribisi, Bryan Cranston, Margo Martindale and others) mixed with great character-centric writing from Graham Yost, and some really fun con man antics (think Better Call Saul or Matchstick Men). Cranston is masterful in this villain role, which gives him the spotlight to monologue and do what he does best....

VOTD: Stephen King’s ‘It’ Trailer Comparison Puts Creepy Clowns Side-By-Side By Ethan Anderton/April 11, 2017 5:00 am EST This fall brings a new adaptation of Stephen King’s It, one of the most revered horror novels of all time. Four years after the book as published, it was turned into a miniseries featuring Tim Curry as the terrifying clown called Pennywise.
