The Walking Dead “JSS” Recap (Season 6, Episode 2) Spoilers!

October 18, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Spoilers are ahead. Lots and lots of spoilers are ahead. You have been warned. Two of the reasons I watch “The Walking Dead” are the exceptional character development and the way the actors so beautifully portray the complex emotions of the characters they play. JSS was an episode that showed us the humanity that is […]

“Revenge” returns next week, but will we tune in?

December 28, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

I have to admit that I tune in to Revenge every week in real time. That means that I don’t wait to catch it late in On Demand or Hulu, I actually sit myself in front of a television at the time the network broadcasts the new episode. That’s saying a lot about the pull […]

In “Major Crimes” Latinos are cops AND robbers

December 15, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez 5 Comments

On television, and movies and everywhere else, it’s practically a cliche that if you see a Latino name as part of the credits, they’re going to play a domestic or a criminal. Every once in a while you’ll get a nice token character that’s supposed to make up for the countless stereotyped ones used in […]

Once Upon a Time… where the evil queen has a heart

December 8, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Midway through its third season, Once Upon a Time remains one of my favorite shows. In fact, I’ve been hooked since the very first episode. Not surprising when you consider the storyline: a world where the Evil Queen has brought all the storybook characters to “our” world through a curse that deprives everyone of magic […]

Fall TV: “Trophy Wife”

September 6, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

Natalie Morales (of Parks and Recreation and White Collar fame) plays the still-single sidekick best friend in ABC’s new sitcom Trophy Wife. The show is about a freewheeling younger woman (Kate, played by Malin Akerman) who becomes the third wife to Bradley Whitford’s Pete. Kate has to deal with two ex-wives, many children, and a new life […]

Fall TV: “Brooklyn Nine Nine”

September 3, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

I’ve been pulling together information on Fall TV shows featuring Latino actors. This is the first in a series to run over the next few weeks.  Houston actress Stephanie Beatriz joins that cast of Fox’s new police sitcom, “Brooklyn Nine Nine.” Beatriz is best-known for her recent work playing Sofia Vergara’s sister on Modern Family. Also […]

Jennifer Lopez’s “The Fosters” is standard ABC Family fare

August 12, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

I missed the boat on “The Fosters.” I kept putting off writing a review and then they had the season finale (I’m told) and so writing one now seems more than a bit late. But I’m still going to do it, especially since I’ve read that ABC Family picked up the show for a second […]

Tune in to “The Bridge,” a must-see show

July 18, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

FX has been heavily promoting their new series “The Bridge” for months. And I have to admit that I was equal parts excited and concerned. The network does push the boundaries frequently, but they can do it while really getting things right (“Justified,” “The Shield”) or really just going over a cliff (“Nip/Tuck,” “American Horror […]

A Bachata moment on “Switched at Birth”

July 15, 2013 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

It was a family moment we’ve seen at every quinceañera, boda, and fiesta de familia: the parents, laughing and dancing, pull their soon-to-be-grown-up child onto the dance floor and try to teach her to dance. The dad explains about Bachata while he and the mom try to get their daughter to move the right way […]
