The Ranch

Dickinson , the new costume-dramedy from Alena Smith, stars Hailee Steinfeld as the poet Emily Dickinson and Ella Hunt as Sue Gilbert, the object of her love. As a romance, its completely doomed. Sue is engaged to Emilys brother Austin and, as we know from history, will marry him and move next-door. The idea that Emily was in love with her sister-in-law is more or less undisputed amongst scholars of the poet, though the precise nature of their relationship is far less certain. But where previous film and television attempts to depict Emilys sexuality have mostly erred on the side of vagueness and even heterosexuality, Alena Smiths entry is simultaneously clear and complicated. Like her life, the details that surround Emily's relationship with her sister-in-law Susan Gilbert are hard to know. The two met in the late 1840s when Dickinson was 20 years old. They were intensely loyal correspondents, and over the 40 years following their meeting no one in Emilys life was the recipie...

Spoilers ahead for Episode 4 of Temptation Island Season 2 . There are a lot of connections forming this season on Temptation Island ... and most of them are with David. During the Oct. 30 episode alone, he went on a date with Toneata and, later, had an apparent threesome Samantha and Payton. He appeared to be forming pretty strong feelings for Toneata, but now it seems just as likely that David is dating Samantha after the show. Or maybe Kate finds a way to move past his unfaithfulness and they leave the island together?? There are a lot of possibilities to unpack. First , let's review what evidence we have from social media. Samantha does not follow David on Instagram , nor does David follow Samantha . He did only just join Instagram on Sept. 17, so maybe they just haven't gotten around to exchanging handles. But as of publication, David is only following Kate and the three other Temptation Island boyfriends: Gavin Rocker, Rick Fleur, and Casey Starchak. This could ...

Spoilers ahead for Episode 4 of Temptation Island Season 2 . The ending of Temptation Island 's Oct. 31 episode was nothing short of jaw-dropping. After spending a lot of time flirting with Toneata, David ended up having what seemed to be a threesome with Samantha and Payton, which makes it feel increasingly unlikely that David and Kate are still together after the show. Kate already wasn't happy about David's steamy hot tub massage from Toneata or his admission that he downplayed his connection with Kari on purpose, and this crosses a line she may not be able to forgive. However, there's actually reason to believe they made it work. On social media, both David and Kate appear to be pretty single; their Instagrams are both filled almost exclusively with solo photos. But there's more of a story here than the posts themselves. Not only are Kate and David following each other on Instagram , they're also "liking" almost all of each other's photos...

In Apple's For All Mankind, J oel Kinnaman stars as Edward Baldwin, an astronaut working at NASA during the '60s space race alongside Buzz Aldrin (Chris Agos), Neil Armstrong (Jeff Branson), and John Glenn (Matt Battaglia). Except, unlike many of the characters, Edward is not based on a real person . Instead, he functions as a nebulous stand-in for all the astronauts in that time period. "[Edward is] kind of what you think of when you think of an astronaut from that era . And then you get him in the haircut and sunglasses and the suit, it's like he just stepped out of The Right Stuff, " series co-creator Ronald D. Moore told Entertainment Weekly , referring to Philip Kaufman's 1983 film following the nation's first astronauts at the genesis of the space program. Kinnaman echoed the sentiment in an interview with Men's Journal , describing Edward as "an all-American character , a little bit conservative, who goes through an absolutely transfor...

Spoilers ahead for A Million Little Things Season 2, Episode 6. Fans had predicted that something bad might happen to Colin on A Million Little Things , but they likely didn't predict that. It turns out that Gary's dog isn't his at all, because he's been missing from another family for a year. Gary never would have known that if Maggie hadn't let Colin off his leash in the first place. But now he does know, and it seems hard to believe that Maggie and Gary's relationship can survive Colin being returned to his original owners. However, show creator DJ Nash tells Bustle that he has hope for the couple yet. He acknowledged that while the duo has "many challenges this season," he doesn't think that Gary "will blame [Maggie] nearly as much as she blames herself." Maggie not only accidentally let Colin go, she also had to break the bad news to Gary that Colin has another family looking for him the same way Gary was in this episode. At f...

Jason Momoa was only on Game of Thrones for one season, but has spun that into a career of playing larger than life characters onscreen. Momoa's Apple TV+ See character, Baba Voss, certainly fits that bill. However, although Baba Voss may look a lot like Khal Drogo, this post-apocalyptic tribe leader has little in common with the Dothraki warlord that made Momoa famous. "I hate comparing things, but the thing is, I didnt get to exercise all the things that Im capable of doing ," he told Den of Geek about his time as Drogo. In See , however, Momoa gets to show off not just his towering physical presence, but his acting chops. "I wanted [to play Baba Voss] because Ive never done anything like this before ," Momoa told Uproxx. "Drogo was never able to get into a fight, he never really went into battle, he never had a baby, like, he just fell in love." Baba Voss is the leader of the Alkenny tribe, a group of people who live in a post-apocalyptic ver...

Atypical 's third season follows the Gardners as they face a number of big life crossroads. Sam is navigating the murky waters of college, Casey is deciding if she wants to be with Evan or Izzie, and Elsa and Doug are still figuring out if want to stay together and make their marriage work, or finally move on. Wherever their choices take them, Atypical Season 4 could examine the ramifications good or bad. Netflix has yet to announce whether or not the show will continue, but that's not necessarily cause for concern. Atypical 's Season 3 renewal came almost a month and a half after the second season premiered, likely so that Netflix could gauge how many people were still watching. It's a well-known fact that the company rarely releases its streaming numbers , but clearly, Atypical had a big enough fanbase to bring it back once more. And even with blockbuster titles like Stranger Things , Netflix can wait nearly three months before granting a renewal . So viewers ...

California is fighting several wildfires in its northern and southern regions, and according to CNN, more than 17 million inhabitants have been issued red flag warnings while 180,000 people have been told to evacuate their homes. It's hard to asses the total damage since the fires are still active, but there are certainly families in need of basic necessities. One way you can extend a helping hand is by supporting California wildfire relief funds . As CNN reported, there were over 10 fires burning in California as of Oct. 31. If you've been watching the news, you've certainly heard of one of them, the Kincade fire, which has burned over 76,000 acres in Northern California's Sonoma County. Though that particularly large fire started on Oct. 23, other blazes like the Taboose Fire in Inyo County began on Oct. 7 and is now 75% contained. ABC news explained that weather conditions such as fast wind speeds and dry air are making it easier for the wildfires to grow and spre...

The latest Netflix original film is likely to hit home for far too many families. The film, American Son , stars Kerry Washington and Steven Pasquale as estranged married couple Kendra Ellis-Connor and Scott Connor, who come together when their 18-year-old biracial son Jamal goes missing. The police prove to be less than helpful, and the devastated parents soon learn that the cops may know more about what happened to Jamal than they're letting on. It's a strong commentary on race relations and the criminal justice system, but is it real? Is American Son a true story ? Though the movie will no doubt feel all too familiar to African American families who have endured similar ordeals, American Son is not based on a true story. Instead, the movie is an adaptation of a recent Broadway play which helps to explain the film's singular setting and cast of just four actors. All four of the film's stars Washington, Pasquale, Jeremy Jordan, and Eugene Lee also starred in the p...

(Spoilers ahead for Grey's Anatomy Season 16.) Meredith and Derek are the true OTP of Grey's Anatomy (before the diehard fans come in and start yelling), but Jo and Alex Karev are quickly coming up behind them as the can't-miss couple of the series. They just keep getting better and better, and Jo and Alex's impromptu vow renewal on Grey's Anatomy 's Season 16 Halloween episode, "Whistlin' Past The Graveyard," really cements that fact. Bring on the candy and the happy tears! Following rehab and therapy to manage her depression, Jo is doing much, much better so much so that she's thrilled to don her old wedding dress (it was expensive, she says, so she wears it as often as she can), cover herself in fake blood, and walk around Seattle as a dead zombie bride for Halloween. Alex has a literal mass grave on his hands, because Pac North, where he now works, was a mental hospital that had bodies to bury when families and next of kin didn't ...

(Collider previously reported on Oct. 21 that Garner was in talks to play Delvey in what ...

Continuing its expansion into more international markets, Netflix announced its fifth original Spanish series, Hache , back in July 2018. The show, which follows a woman named Helena (Adriana Ugarte) embroiled in the heroin trafficking business in 1960s Barcelona, unfolds across eight hour-long episodes. And while it's not yet clear if Hache will return for Season 2 , there certainly seems to be enough material for more. As reported by Deadline, Hache is loosely based on real events . After Helena, a sex worker, catches the eye of Malpica a crime boss with a violent streak and a reliance on morphine she rises to the top of the organization. However, the rest of the show is mostly fictional, as little else is known about the story that inspired it. Series creator Vernica Fernndez told Variety that she first got the idea for Hache after reading about how the crime organization's heroin trade between Asia and America used Barcelona as a port. "In doing more research I...

If you enjoy watching British people bake impossibly beautiful and tasty-looking treats every week, you'll be pleased to know that The Great British Bake Off will return for Season 8 which is technically Season 11 in its native UK and Season 9 too! The show's UK network, Channel 4, announced in March that it had reached a deal with Love Productions to air new episodes of the baking competition through 2021, which means there are at least two more seasons to look forward to. "We are delighted to have extended Bake Off' s stay on Channel 4 after two great years together," Love Productions Chief Executive Richard McKerrow said in a press release. "We have been hugely encouraged by the audience response and feedback the show has received during its time on Channel 4." The positive response to the series hasn't just been limited to the UK. The Great British Bake Off has taken off in America as well, with Netflix bringing new episodes of the show ...

Come Nov. 1, Love Island fans will have another season of the show to marathon: all 30 episodes of Love Island Australia 's first season are coming to Hulu. With that many hours of content, it should take even the most fervent of TV viewers quite some time to start wondering when Love Island Australia Season 2 will be on Hulu . But rest assured, it will be coming. Like the original Love Island UK , Love Island Australia follows various singles as they couple up, try to find love, and navigate the constant stream of other contestants coming in to test their relationships and potentially get them booted off the show. Season 1 aired on the series' Australian network, Nine, back in May 2018, and Season 2 began airing Oct. 7. So while an official drop date hasn't yet been announced, it should be on the way; they're probably just waiting to get over the hump of launching Season 1. In the meantime, all five seasons of Love Island UK are already on Hulu to stream. The U....

Channel 4's new series The Accident is a story of what happens when corners are cut and tragedy strikes. Set in a depressed Welsh town that has never quite recovered since the closing of the mines, the location is all too believable. But is Glyngolau a real village? Well you guys, the town, just like the story, is made up. Despite both definitely being heavily influenced by true stories and places. The writer of the show Jack Thorne, himself from Wales, chose to base and shoot the show in the Valleys because he felt it fit for a few reasons. Reasons that he shared with Channel 4; "There are of course lots of areas in the UK that could of worked for that but Wales felt somehow right and those valley towns are a) so beautiful and b) so economically deprived I thought it would be an interesting theme to explore." The programme tells the tale of the town being regenerated and the exciting project set to change the face of a forgotten housing estate and neighbourhood. A ...

The following is an excerpt from The Return by Rachel Harrison , out on March 24, 2020 and available now for pre-order . In this sinister story, a group of three friends Elise, Molly, and Mae book a weekend stay at a remote inn for a very special occasion: The fourth member of their girl gang, Julie, has finally returned after a mysterious two-year disappearance. But when Julie arrives, it's immediately obviously to Elise that something is... off. For one thing, she has no memory of what happened to her. Plus, she looks different... and she smells. As the weekend progresses, it becomes more and more obvious that the Julie who returned isn't the Julie who left. But who or what is she? "Im getting nervous Julie isnt here yet," Mae says, tapping a superbly manicured nail on her bottom lip. "I hope shes all right." "Youre only worried because of what happened. This is Julie. Julie is always late. Its not unusual, Maebs," I say, taking off her hat a...

For music festival fans around the world, its always an exciting time when the Glastonbury line-up starts to be revealed. While there are whispers and rumours throughout the year, you never quite know who is going to be headlining until the organisers confirm. However, it isnt always plain sailing for those working behind the scenes. Glastonbury boss Emily Eavis revealed she actually received death threats after she booked Kanye West back in 2015. Eavis explained that, while she still believes she made the right decision when it came to Kanye as a headlining act, people went so far as to create a petition to boycott his set and others even sent her violent abuse. Theres no denying that Kanye West was a divisive character in 2015, let alone now. However, after Eavis booked him to play to Pyramid stage and his slot was announced, an anti-Kanye petition was started by someone who had never been to Glastonbury," Eavis says in her book celebrating Glastonburys 50th anniversary . Sh...

It's that time again. Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, reason, timing, and dry humor is heading into its last retrograde period of the year beginning on Oct. 31. Yes, you read that correctly: Mercury is going into retrograde on Halloween. I did say it was the planet of dry humor, didn't I? But instead of being afraid of this all-too-frequent retrograde, let's alter our perspective on the event. Let's think of it this way: what good lessons will Mercury retrograde teach us ? When Mercury is not in retrograde, we might all find that we have less complications to endure when it comes to understanding each other and using technology. We might also find that it's easier to rely on things like transportation and technology. These are all things that the planet of Mercury is said to rule : Communication, technology, etc. So, when it's retrograde, these things get all screwed up. A simple plan like meeting a friend for lunch can all of a sudden includ...

Thanks to the flexible reality formula of Channel 5's Undercover Girlfriends , the possibilities of developing the series further are endless. I mean, think about it. The show's production company Twofour could easily continue changing the location for future series to keep it fresh, or the format could even be turned on its head by branching off into Undercover Boyfriends territory. That being said, Undercover Girlfriends has only just started its second series, and it's hard to tell whether or not it will continue beyond this point. So will Undercover Girlfriends return for series 3? Well, there doesn't seem to be any news on a third series just yet. I've reached out to a rep for the show for more insight, but have yet to hear back. I'll let you know if I do. Although the fate of Undercover Girlfriends does seem optimistic, as there's no info suggesting that the series has been cancelled or anything. Still, in the meantime, the drama is already in f...
