Reviewing the Anticipated (and Twist-Filled) "Wolf Pack" Season Finale
A few days have passed since Paramount+ released the highly anticipated season finale of Wolf Pack, yet I still find myself drinking things in. This was a great Thursday jam for me; one of three along with Peacock shows Poker Face and Bel-Air. I spent eight Wednesdays being excited because once midnight hits in the West Coast, it's time for Wolf Pack, and this was such an amazing show and a terrific opening season, which featured a thrilling finale.

Villainess Review: Eve Michaels (The Threat Next Door). Top Story - March 2023.
Tubi strikes gold yet again, and they did so under my nose. I've spent the last few months looking at the upcoming Tubi Originals release list, but I didn't see this film listed, The Threat Next Door. I didn't even know about it until hours before writing this review, but I definitely watched, and it was quite amazing. Before I start getting ahead of myself, let's set the stage in a proper manner.

Villainess Review: Valeria Brant (Deadly Estate)
When I learned about this film hitting Tubi, I was excited. When I saw the cast and saw who was in it, I was even more excited. I have my reasons. You will see as I continue. So Tubi continued hitting it out of the proverbial park with Deadly Estate, which centers on a lavish hotel known as The Magnate, and its manager, Zakiya Carter, who is encountered by wealthy hotel owner Ron Brant. Ron is accompanied by his new wife, Valeria, as he is set to purchase The Magnate. As for Valeria, she's beaming over her new marriage, but as we see, there's problems in the wind.

Red Death Review: "The Mask of the Red Death" (Part 1)
At long last, we are at the most vital part of The Flash's Red Death saga after weeks of anticipation, excitement, and impatience. OK, all three of those words describe me. Even so, this angle has been quite intriguing and epic, and it reached new levels in Week 3, which ended with the Red Death unveiled and unmasked as Ryan Wilder--well, her alternate doppelganger. As I've been doing ever since the show's ninth and final season began, I've spent the last week eagerly awaiting the latest chapter, and lo and behold, here it is.

Reviewing a Pair of Criminal Villainesses from "Newlywed Nightmare"
This February has been quite fruitful when it comes to Lifetime villainesses, and the final weekend of the month delivers once again with this film, Newlywed Nightmare. Originally titled, Escape From Love, the film centers on newlyweds Lauren and David Hasen; happily enjoying their first moments as husband and wife, but all of that comes to a halt when Lauren is suddenly abducted. A mysterious man takes her in broad daylight, and when we next see Lauren, she is held captive by a group of men, while one woman slowly walks towards her.

Wolf Pack Review: "Incendiary"
Ooh boy! I've had a lot of excitement on TV in so little time! After watching the latest episode of The Flash, I tuned in to the final moments of the Blackhawks/Stars game, and almost saw a game-tying buzzer-beater from Dallas. A couple of hours later, I went to Paramount+ to watch the latest episode of Wolf Pack, because it's Episode 5, kicking off the second half of the season. I had been waiting for this; Episode 4 began the twists and turns for this season, and I figured that Episode 5 would continue to deliver.

Villainess Review: Brooke Mason (Magnum P.I.)
After four seasons, CBS suddenly axed the Magnum P.I. reboot, and I was livid! I loved that show; it was originally part of my Monday nights until the show was moved to Fridays, where it aired in-between the MacGyver reboot and Blue Bloods. The series stars Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum; filling the shoes (and the Detroit Tigers cap) of Tom Selleck--who currently stars on Blue Bloods. Perdita Weeks portrays Juliett Higgins, who ended the fourth season revealing her romantic feelings for Magnum, hence was I was upset at the cancellation. Zachary Knighton and Stephen Hill portrays Magnum's co-horts, Orville "Rick" Wright and Theodore "T.C." Calvin, respectively, and Tim Kang portrays detective Gordon Katsumoto.

Villainess Review: Shannon Steerman (Alert: Missing Persons Unit)
I have really enjoyed Fox's Monday night lineup in recent years. Usually, the 9-1-1 shows dominate Mondays, but there's also other programming when they're off. In this case, Fox has the Fantasy Island reboot, followed by one of their newest series, Alert: Missing Persons Unit (often simply known as Alert). It was easy for me to be all in on this, and I have two main reasons. Firstly, the show reminds me a bit of Ransom, the international series that aired on CBS for a few years, and second, the main stars. The series stars Scott Caan (son of the late, great James Caan) as Jason Grant--ex-military. For Caan, this is his first series after spending a decade on CBS' Hawaii Five-O reboot. Dania Ramirez is the other main star, portraying Jason's ex-wife (and co-worker in the MPU) Nikki Batista; of course, Ramirez is best known for being one of the titular Devious Maids, as well as being part of the final season of Once Upon a Time.

Villainess Review: Patty Garner (10 Year Reunion)
You know, I really love these Lifetime movies that centered on a group of women getting together. One reason is because they usually involve at least one known actress who I'm a fan of, but there's also the obvious reason: one of them turns out to be evil. It's a case that has been seen so many times on Lifetime, and the 2016 thriller, 10 Year Reunion.

Wolf Pack Review: "Origin Point"
In a football season, Week 3 can serve as a turning point. Though football is the only sport where literally every game is important, Week 3 locks in tones for certain teams, and separates potential contenders from potential pretenders. When it comes to TV shows, especially serials with (at least) one mystery, Week 3 is when the plot starts to really thicken and things add up, with possible twists on the horizon. This was definitely the case with Paramount+'s Wolf Pack, and after we see a different quartet kick off the latest episode, the scene shifts to our familiar foursome.

Wolf Pack Review: "Two Bitten, Two Born"
Oh, I love that feeling when you watch the series premiere, and then certain parts play in your head in the seven days that pass, and before you know it, it's time for Episode 2. It's a very familiar feeling for this TV viewer, and it amplifies when it's a crime or horror series, with Wolf Pack...well...actually falling into both categories. So after we get a recap of the premiere, the second episode, "Two Bitten, Two Born," picks up where the premiere ended: with the werewolf quartet, Everett, Blake, Harlan, and Luna, all together--though Blake runs off.

Reviewing the Anticipated Series Premiere of "Wolf Pack"
If I recall, it was about two months ago that this series, Wolf Pack, was announced. I was in. I didn't give this a second thought. I've been a fan of the werewolf subgenre for a long time, if you can't tell by some of my fiction pieces. And what could be better than a werewolf-centered series? How about a werewolf-centered series with the queen of the vampire slayers herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar?
