Let TV be TV!
The return of Poker Face and the recent brilliant run of The Pitt inspired me to celebrate TV shows that just want to be (great) TV shows:
Hospital Dramas! Crime Procedurals! Classic TV Is Back and Better Than Ever
Hit shows like 'The Pitt' and 'Poker Face' are a nod to broadcast dramas and procedurals of the past — and audiences are loving it.

Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 14 Review: Bar Time
Carver is taking some time away, but how long does that mean he'll be gone? On Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 14, "Bar Time," Carver's struggles with alcoholism continue to be the focus of his character. It seems he's burying himself in work by taking extra shifts, but he also lies to Violet about going to a meeting -- for some reason.
