The 69-year-old TV personality underwent the five-and-a-half-hour cosmetic procedure back in October.

By AJ Willingham, CNN For four seasons, “Killing Eve” seduced fans with a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between the titular Eve, a British intelligence agent, and the assassin Villanelle — two women bound by blood and crime who shared a sexy mutual obsession. These years of flirtation and tension were fully realized with a consummating

By Chloe Melas Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and former attorney to ex-President Donald Trump, was unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” Giuliani’s appearance on the show comes as no surprise.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN John Wayne Gacy remains the stuff of nightmares, a symbol of evil with the dress-up-like-a-clown twist to ensure his enduring place in the true-crime genre. “Conversations With a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes” finds the wispiest hook to add to that filmography, drawing from 60 hours of unearthed audio

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN “Black-ish” crammed a lot into its series finale, from a callback to its premiere to a cameo by gymnast Simone Biles, from moving out of the family’s house — and the memories that elicited — to a raucous New Orleans-style funeral.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN An old-fashioned courtroom miniseries with a somewhat more modern backdrop of sexual politics, “Anatomy of a Scandal” is a crisply told, nicely binge-able mystery that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

By Dana Bash and Abbie Sharpe, CNN They may be the most famous international superstars you have never heard of, thanks to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis trying to eliminate their very existence.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN Despite the enticing subtitle “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” the second sequel to J.K.

Review by Brian Lowry, CNN The Kardashians are back, not that they were ever really gone. Sure, their flagship E! show might have ended, but that was merely so the family could hang out a “We’ve Moved” sign and shift their under-the-microscope lives over to Hulu. Not surprisingly, the act hasn’t changed, just the location.

By Marianne Garvey Bill Hader doesn’t really know what’s wrong with Barry Berkman, the assassin turned aspiring actor he plays on HBO’s hit show, “Barry.” The series, created by Hader and writer Alec Berg, is an odd concept.
