The crime drama TV series ‘Hightown”, created by Rebecca Cutter, is now airing Season 3 on Starz:
“…’Fishery Service Agent’ ‘Jackie Quiñones’ is off the wagon and off the force in the final season, but that doesn’t stop her from careening into the dark underbelly of picture-perfect Cape Cod to save a missing woman and a murdered woman.
“Meanwhile, her former colleagues ‘Ray Abruzzo’ and ‘Alan Santille’ are focused on taking down drug syndicates, but despite their best efforts, the drugs keep flowing. This attracts ‘Shane Frawley’, a gangster from Boston looking to cut himself in on the Cape’s drug trade — and making an enemy of ‘Osito’ while he’s at it.
“Alliances are made and old loyalties are questioned in this beautiful but corrupt place where nothing is as it seems.”

The third season of “Hightown” will be its last, Starz announced on Tuesday.
The series, which launched in 2020, follows Jackie Quiñonez’s (Monica Raymund) daily struggle to stay sober while taking on the opioid crisis that is sweeping Cape Cod. Season 2 picked up with Jackie, who sets out to prove herself as a cop and avenge the death of her best friend, Junior (Shane Harper). All the while, the town faces a new deadly drug called Great White.
In this upcoming season, Starz teases “everyone will face a deep reckoning” when the bad guys and corruption arise from all sides. “Beliefs and loyalties will be tested, and Jackie will have to learn to stand by herself and for what she believes in,” reads the official description. Starz has set the premiere date for the third and final season on Friday, Jan. 26.

Starz is bidding farewell to another show.
The Lionsgate-backed premium cable network on Tuesday announced that crime drama Hightown, starring Monica Raymund, will conclude with its third season. Season three of the series from showrunner Rebecca Cutter (Gotham) will debut Friday, Jan. 26, on Starz.
Hightown is the latest series to get the ax at Starz. The cabler recently cleaned house and canceled Blindspotting, Heels and Run the World after two seasons each and dropped The Venery of Samantha Bird with only two episodes left to produce.
The conclusion of Hightown leaves Starz with a roster of originals that includes Black Mafia Family, Outlander, P-Valley, the Power franchise and Shining Vale. Raymund (Chicago Fire) stars alongside James Badge Dale, Riley Voelkel, Amaury Nolasco, Atkins Estimond and Dohn Norwood.

Steel yourselves for something saucy because a series adaptation of the May Cobb novel, The Hunting Wives, is coming to Starz. The network gave the project an eight-episode order, with Hightown creator Rebecca Cutter writing, executive producing, and showrunning the adaptation with 3 Arts Entertainment’s Erwin Stoff. The Hunting Wives is the first new series coming to Starz since the end of the WGA strike last week. The network recently canceled shows, including Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, much to the dismay of fans.
Here’s the synopsis for Cobb’s novel via Amazon:
Sophie O’Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet,...

Created by Rebecca Cutter (Gotham), Hightown is set in the beautiful but bleak world of Cape Cod, watching as Jackie Quiñone’s (Monica Raymund) journey to sobriety is overshadowed by a murder investigation dragging her into its fold. The show’s second season saw the picture-perfect version of summer on Cape Cod clash with its off-season reality. Quinones (Raymund), achieving her dream of becoming a real cop, was out to do some good in this world.

It's been a long year without Hightown.
The thrilling Starz drama is back!
We watched the first four episodes, and it features everything that made the inaugural season a success and more.
We got to chat with cast members Riley Voelkel (Renee), Amaury Nolasco (Frankie), Don Norwood (Al), Atkins Estimond (Oscito), Monica Raymond (Jackie), and James Badge Dale (Ray), as well as creator Rebecca Perry Cutter and EP Gary Lennon.
Hightown Season 2 gets off the ground running, with the characters in very different places than before.
With Frankie out of prison, we get to see a different layer of his and Renee's relationship, something that both Voelkel and Nolasco are happy about.
There's also some drama on the horizon for them because Frankie's cousin Jorge (Luis Guzman) is also on the scene, creating a lot of conflicts.
"He is the older cousin who Frankie really loves. And they obviously have a ton of history together,...

With more twists and turns than the average midseason finale, this week’s Gotham was one of the best yet…
This review contains spoilers.
2.6 By Fire
Holy cliff-hanger, Batman! Despite being placed as the sixth episode of the season, By Fire felt like a midseason finale. That’s mainly because of the whopping revelation at the end; that Wayne Enterprises are in the business of experimenting on ‘monsters.’ Crikey. How’s that for a shock?
We’ve always known that Wayne Enterprises were up to something dodgy, but a bit of insider dealing or black market arms trading or funding a few gangsters is all many might have expected. Deciding to bring them into the ‘testing’ of enhanced people sets them up as a potential equivalent to other evil comic book companies and a genuine overarching adversary for the show going forward.

Written by Rebecca Perry Cutter
Directed by Tj Scott
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
The Firefly story comes to a close this week in spectacular fashion as Gotham balances some very campy elements with emotional truths that skirt the line enough to work as an overall episode. There are many great, genuinely touching moments, others that are pitch-perfect black comedy, and a few instances of weird kitsch ideas that for the most part work, as they are executed with full-on commitment.
Gotham throughout its run has mixed many genres into its mold and some are more successful than others. This season has been more of a city-set western, with how brutal the villains have been and how Gotham feels almost lawless, even among those wearing the badge. Captain Barnes brings in the ideals of civilization, which is what Gordon began with in season one,...

Greetings Gothamites!
Viper. Sounds serious. Sounds deadly. And yes, the writing in this episode really is that lethal. Watching this week’s instalment of Gotham was painful at points, as some of you are no doubt already aware. For those of you who haven’t delved yet, go with this warning: that like Pandora, if you open the box, almost all you will find is woe.
Maybe that’s going a bit too far. There are good things in Viper, it’s just hard to see past the bad bits. But the human impulse is to bite into the apple, so go ahead and watch the episode – just find episode 56 of the original Batman animated series afterwards, called ‘See no Evil’. It covers much of the same ground and has a much more cohesive narrative. In fact, that’s good advice for everybody! From this point on there are spoilers!

Gotham has done fairly well, so far, at integrating its cases of the week with its overarching storyline, with last week’s “Arkham” being one of the most momentous episodes yet in moving the season narrative forward, but with “Viper”, the tandem plots fail to blend together with the same consistency. The campy concept of the Viper drug, which gives super strength to its victims before destroying their bone density, could’ve worked if only the writers had decided not to display the victims’ feats of strength with such poorly executed and cartoonish special effects. What Gotham has done well in previous episodes is present a campy idea with a truly gritty noir tone, but the way that these super powered victims are realized, they look more like they belong...

There’s plenty of future teases and neat plot advancements in this week’s Gotham. Here’s Rob’s review of Viper…
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 Viper
Utilising Gotham’s continuing ability to show signs of trouble one week and huge heaps of potential the next, Viper was an episode with lots to enjoy. It was certainly a huge advancement and a welcome change from the central-plot-lite and real-estate-heavy Arkham of last week.
Impressing us again was Salvatore Maroni, played with poker-faced menace by David Zayas. While Falcone has seemed a bit distant throughout, Gotham’s second-highest-ranking mob boss truly ramped up the fear-inducing/genuinely threatening stakes this week. His dialogue is calm and collected, but his actions explain why so many fear him. It’s certainly a strong supporting performance from the Dexter, Grimm and The Expendables alumnus.

I must confess. My guilty television viewing habits of the past have frequently included The Mentalist, a formulaic yet witty dramatic detective series with a subtle but prevalent comedic underbelly. The series features a rebellious but brilliant mind gone rogue to fulfill his own mission — rules be damned — like House M.D., but with murder investigations instead of medical mysteries.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Warning: This review is written with the assumption that the reader has seen the episode. Do not read otherwise. Includes major spoilers.
After a steady build up in two recent episodes (5.07 and 5.11) the arc of Lisbon and Tommy Volker came to a head in this week’s fast paced and fairly action packed episode of The Mentalist, titled ‘Little Red Corvette’.
We’d seen it before, particularly in ‘If it Bleeds, it Leads’ with Amanda Shaw (Rhea Bailey), but opening the episode with Volker (Henry Ian Cusick) once again taking pleasure from seeing his henchman kill someone sure upped the creep factor. Volker seemed to genuinely get off on the power of it all, watching the life drain out of their eyes. I just now realize that’s how Jane (Simon Baker) described Red John, but I refuse to go down that rabbit hole.
Anyway, whilst...
