Southland's cast remains one of its best selling points.

Netflix’s The Crown is a sumptuous treat, a lavish costume drama with subtle performances and an astonishing attention to detail.

Mozart in the Jungle, which was adapted from Blair Tindall’s memoir of the same name, is surprisingly good, whether you’re into classical music or not.

Mad Men is off to one crazy-good start.

If there's a nighttime soap any better, I haven't seen it.
