Spoiler Alert: Do not read on unless you’ve seen Season 6, episode 5 of “American Horror Story,” titled “Chapter 5.”
Four score and fives episodes later, “American Horror Story” vet Evan Peters has finally made his “Roanoke” debut… and he’s killed within the first ten minutes.
But fans can rest assured, because this is “AHS,” where no one is ever truly dead, especially this season. He returns as an unlikely aid to Shelby, Matt, and Flora, who, by the end of the episode, manage to escape their Roanoke nightmare. But let’s break it all down.
We first learn who Peters actually is, and in line with some speculation, he is Edward Philippe Mott, the man who built the house. He’s an interesting man, to say the least: escaping city life in favor of the country, he buys the cursed plot of land and builds his mansion on it. He also escaped the city for fear, it »

47 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The Cold War will rage anew on SundanceTV now that the cabler and FremantleMedia International have set a deal for season two of period drama “Deutschland83.”
The German-language drama set in 1983 bowed last year on SundanceTV to generally rave reviews and a small but devoted audience. Creators Anna and Joerg Winger envision the political thriller running three seasons, taking viewers up to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The series stars Jonas Nay as an earnest East German soldier who is reluctantly recruited to go undercover in West Berlin as a spy for the Stasi. “Deutschland86” will jump three years into 1986, when Nay’s Martin Rauch is sent off to Africa to fight in the last gasp of combat waged in the name of Communism, in Angola.
“Deutschland83,” which earned a Peabody Award, debuted with much fanfare last year on German broadcaster Rtl. The show garnered generally strong reviews but the ratings were a disappointment. The »

The Blacklist Review: Driving In Circles, Looking For Agnes

I love The Blacklist. I really do. For the most part, it’s a show that packs a double dose of everything I like in a show. It’s action packed, slightly humorous, and contains seriously compelling drama betwixt its credits. Sometimes, though, the 22 episode traditional season for a network can really feel like it’s treading water. Unfortunately, this was one of those times. This week on The Blacklist: Liz and Tom are offered a video stream to watch Agnes. Tom, against Liz’s wishes, has it tracked and chases after her. Reddington and the task force look for a blacklister who can help them get

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead, if you have not watched Season 3, episode 4, of “How To Get Away With Murder,” which aired Thursday, Oct. 13 on ABC.
Each week of “How To Get Away With Murder” this season reveals who will not be killed off in the night of the house fire — but tonight’s “lucky” victim, though alive, winds up in the hospital.
Last week, the flash-forward revealed that aside from the dead body under the sheet, firefighters found an additional body in Annalise’s (Viola Davis) basement, but there’s still a pulse.
Turns out, that person is Laurel (Karla Souza). And she’s pregnant.
Tonight’s flash-forward scenes, which bookend the episode, show someone being rushed from the house fire to the hospital. By episode’s end, none other than Wes’ girlfriend Meggy (Corbin Reid) who works in the hospital, brings in the charts of the unconscious female patient, which »

Supernatural Season 12 Episode 1 Review: “Keep Calm and Carry On”
5 hours ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Amara was the darkest, most powerful villain Supernatural has ever faced off against. She faced off against the only other of her kind, and fought him to standstill, and often had the upper hand. She was unstoppable; she was invincible; she was, or at least related to, the Alpha and Omega. So, after a season of bloodshed and loss, and of constant despair; after a season in which the most powerful foe was vanquished, Supernatural has gone darker than ever before. This opening episode, filled with the burned-out eyes of the Lucifer-hopped vessels and the exposed tendons of Sam’s blow-torched foot, is not the Supernatural that
