How 'Westworld' Is Bringing Female Empowerment to a Worldwide Audience in Unexpected Ways
There's no question that #HBO'>#HBO's #Westworld is one of the biggest shows on television right now, and it deserves to be. Each week surprises the audience with new revelations and thrills. From the mysterious Arnold to the now infamous orgy scene, #HBO'>#HBO is pulling out all the stops with this sci-fi hit. However, arguably the most exciting thing about Westworld is not its unanswered questions or controversial choices, but its undeniably powerful female characters. When the pilot first aired, Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores, spoke to Entertainment Weekly and said that the show is "revolutionary for women." With each episode that passes, the truth of that statement becomes more and more clear as we are exposed to the strength and resilience of the ladies both within and without of the park. Four in particular come to mind.

Why We Should Stop Ignoring Henry Mills From 'Once Upon a Time'
The sixth season of ABC's hit fairy tale show Once Upon A Time is less than two weeks away, and fans are gearing up for what could be the biggest season yet. Season 5 left Belle, pregnant with Rumpelstiltskin's child, trapped in a box, Hook returning to Storybrooke alive and well, the death of our beloved Robin Hood, along with the return of the renowned Evil Queen herself. Between Regina's evil half, Mr. Hyde, and whichever villains The Land of Untold Stories can bring, this season could easily be one of the biggest and best.

'Once Upon a Time': 5 Reasons Why Hook Is Our Favorite Lovable Rogue
ABC's magical show Once Upon a Time is overflowing with amazing characters, from Snow White to the not-so-evil Queen, but perhaps most beloved by fans is the infamous Captain Hook. Many have promised to swear off the show if he were to leave it, and as a huge fan myself, I understand the reasoning. He's heroic and exciting, as well as brave and bad. He brings a lot to the screen and to the story, which makes him so easy to love!

Love, Italian Style: How Did 'The Young Pope' Get Made Without Setting Foot Inside the Vatican?
#HBO's exciting new drama The Young Pope is a visual feast. Not only is #JudeLaw a joy to watch as Pope Pius XIII — the flamboyant and controversial first American Pontiff — but the visually stunning and oh-so-detailed recreation of Vatican City is also one of the show's highlights. As movie and TV filming is strictly forbidden at the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, the fact that the 10-episode series can be convincingly made without having to film in or around the Vatican is an impressive feat in itself.

The 6 'Game of Thrones' Characters Who Are the Genuine Heroes of Westeros
Game of Thrones is arguably most well known for killing off its popular characters. But what it should be known for is the depth of its characters. While most shows have clearly defined villains and heroes, HBO's hit fantasy show brings characters that are complex in their thoughts and actions. This makes them more than just characters on a screen. It makes them human. Almost every character has both dark and light within them, the potential for good or evil. It's their choices that make them what they are. And these are six characters who, despite their flaws, deserve the title of the hero.

Glenn Rhee's Top 5 Lines from 'The Walking Dead'
With the Tara episode (#TWD S7E6) , we are almost at the tail-end of the first half of The Walking Dead Season 7. Since the harrowing and heart-breaking premiere, we have seen Carol and Morgan feeling perplexed with King Ezekiel in The Kingdom; Daryl suffering at the hands of the Saviors at the Sanctuary; and Maggie, Sasha and Enid beginning an uncertain life at the Hilltop. As for the people in Alexandria, life has to be at an all-time low so much so that we do not get to see much of any action there after six episodes (barring that extended instalment when Negan came a-visiting.)

'The Fall' of a Serial Killer: Can the Series Survive Without Jamie Dornan?
[Warning! Spoilers galore ahead for #TheFall Season3 ] After binge-watching all six episodes of The Fall Season 3, I'm glad to say that, despite some shortcomings, the suspenseful psychological crime series which tells of a female detective superintendent hunting down a serial killer in Belfast, Northern Ireland wrapped up pretty well. Granted that the over-the-top violence in the finale episode was not pretty to look at, the acclaimed BBC Two series did provide the eagerly-awaited fall - pardon the pun - of the show's protagonist.
