Cult is the most addictive show on The CW and tonight at 9p you can find out why! The drama is a show within a show, and it will have you under its spell before the opening credits begin. The CW’s shows are known for having a cult following, so it makes sense that they would do a show that has such a following that people would be trying to recreate it their own lives when they turn their televisions off. Does that make sense? It will when you watch my favorite new drama of the season.
Jeff (Matthew Davis) is a recently fired Washington Post investigative reporter who has moved to LA. Nate, his younger brother is so addicted to the show Cult that he plays along with other fans. When Nate gets the final clue to a mystery, he goes missing and now his brother is trying to find him. When Jeff goes to the set to learn more about the show, he meets Skye Yarrow (Jessica Lucas) a research on Cult. Together the two pair up and learn more about the fans that take fanatical to a whole new level. These viewers are willing to risk their lives to keep the game going and that means they will lose more than the game, they will lose their lives.
Along with learning about the fans, we get to watch the show that has them so brainwashed. Robert Knepper plays the actor Roger Reeves who plays the scary cult leader Billy Grimm perfectly. The EP is mysterious man, who no one ever sees. Does he really exist? We will have tune in to find out.
Ever since I watched the pilot over the summer, I have wanted more. I am so happy that you will finally be able to experience this original and well-executed suspenseful show tonight. I have a feeling that Cult will have a cult following by the end of its first episode.
Today is Valentine’s Day and there are going to be some very romantic gestures on tonight’s Beauty and the Beast at 9p on The CW. There will be roses, a flashmob and sweet nothings that will happen throughout the hour. But this is not show that is only about love, so there will be plenty of adventure too. Someone’s life will be put in danger, a secret romance will be revealed, a partnership might be over and someone will say goodbye. Think you know the answers to all of the above? Think again and tune in to find out what happens next because it is only going to get better next week…
Even though the television season isn’t over for another few months that isn’t stopping The CW from picking up three of their shows for next season. Supernatural is on cloud nine because it will be back for a ninth season! I am so happy that these Winchester Boys will be hunting for at least another year. Then there is Arrow that will continue to do good for its second season. Finally The Vampire Diaries is biting in to its fifth season this fall. So the show that makes sucking a good thing is getting ready for another bloody good summer.
Now it is time for the other networks to start picking up their shows and The CW to hurry up and renew The Carrie Diaries for a sophomore year!
For years we have heard how actors say that romantic scenes are anything but when they are filming them. Looking at this picture that Austin Butler Tweeted from The Carrie Diaries’ set, I think we can totally understand why they say that. I would hate to have that many cameras in my face when I am making out with someone. I mean would you like it?
BTW I love the woman in the corner who seems to be enjoying the kiss between AnnaSophia Robb and Butler. But then again after watching the show that airs Mondays at 8p, I get why she has such a smile on her face!
The Carrie Diaries debuts on The CW tonight at 8p and you don’t want to miss out on Carrie Bradshaw’s teenage years!
We have seen Carrie Bradshaw all grown up in Sex and the City and now we are seeing her as a 16 year old girl. Carrie’s (AnnaSophia Robb) life was much different back in 1984. She just lost her mom to cancer a few months earlier, she was living in Connecticut with her dad (Matt Letscher) and her younger sister (Stefania Owen), she was interning at a law firm and she was a virgin who wasn’t dating anyone. Her best friends were not Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda, but they were Mouse (Ellen Wong), Maggie (Kate Findlay) and Walt (Brendan Dolling) and the latter two are dating. Walt has a secret that will change everything, but he just doesn’t realize what that secret is just yet.
There is a new boy at school and all the girls want Sebastian Kydd (Austin Butler) and he only has eyes on Carrie. That is not going to go over well with the popular girls at school, but who cares when the hottest guy wants you!
Carrie’s dad wants to make his daughter happy, so he gets her an internship at a law firm in Manhattan. On her first day in The City she meets Larissa (Freema Agyeman) who works for Interview Magazine at a store and they immediately hit it off. Now the teen is partying with the coolest people at the hottest places and they have no idea just how young she is! She is going to have to fake it if she wants to keep up with them and since we know our girl we know she can do it.
In 1984, The City was a much different place and we are going to see it through Carrie’s innocent eyes. And because of that innocence we get a show that all you Sex and the City fans can enjoy. For those of you (like me) who didn’t watch SATC, you will still find yourself loving this show because it is just so sweet and enticing. Just like Manhattan in 1984!
