SEASON PREMIERE: Orange Is the New Black is one of the shows that established Netflix as a programming service to be taken seriously. Today, Netflix presents the seventh and final season of Orange, giving all of its surviving characters a well-deserved prison break.

Last week’s episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., which had to do with an alien antagonist moving among the bodies of the team and temporarily taking over their consciousness, may have been the most clever and entertaining installment of the series in a couple years. If you were thinking of giving up on this show as just one more tired entry in Marvel’s TV universe, don’t jump the ship just yet.

With Toy Story 4 now in theaters, and toys from Toy Story 4 filling toy shelves (go look – it’s scary), now’s the time to revisit how all this began.

So as always regarding a modern TV drama series with a serialized narrative, there’s an increased risk that characters may not survive from week to week. So stay tuned… and keep expecting the unexpected. Rose McIver stars.

In 1963, this costume drama pushed the boundaries of sexual innuendo in film, especially at mealtime. During the picnic scene, the title character had quite a picnic indeed. But the biggest reason to watch this film is to see Albert Finney, as Tom Jones, in the prime of his cinematic sex-symbol status. If you delighted in watching Finney’s performance as a cantankerous aging lawyer in 2000’s Erin Brockovich, as you should have, here’s a fun compare-and-contrast exerci
