Let’s Talk TV with Barbara Barnett

We are, dear readers, in the midst of a television renaissance, the likes of which we've never seen.

This week's episode delivers a twisted tale with enough family intrigue and betrayals to fill an episode of Game of Thrones.

Starring Jamie Bell, Turn is based on the real history of America's first spy ring--the Culper Ring, and on the 2007 book 'Washington's Spies' by Alexander Rose.

After a run of really compelling episodes, "Once Upon a Time" pauses to make the case for Killian Jones and his pursuit of Emma Swan.

Once Upon a Time's villains have all been layered: good people who followed an unfortunate fateful path to the dark side. Is the same true for Captain Hook?

What's happening on the next "Once Upon a Time?" Spoilers ahoy (and a slideshow, too).

'Once Upon a Time' takes us this week, not to the Wild Wild West, but, instead to the Wild Wicked West, where we find Regina's evil queen facing off against Zelena's Wicked Witch of the West.

By most measures, the season four premiere of HBO's Game of the Thrones presents viewers a straightforward, simple canvas, letting us catch up with where the players stand.

A detailed character study of Rumplestiltskin, 'Once Upon a Time's most complex character.

One of the joys of 'Once Upon a Time' is seeing the many faces of Rumplestiltskin, played by the fabulous Robert Carlyle, a brilliant guide to his character.
