[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for FBI: International Season 2 Episode 12, “Someone She Knew.”] The January 24 episode of FBI: International ended just as we thought it would when it came to the reassignment that Special Agent Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank) was facing, but oh, did we love watching how it went down. The Fly Team’s least favorite person, Ken Dandridge (Michael Torpey), forced his way into their latest investigation, going so far as to give a press conference when he shouldn’t have and allowing the suspect to escape with the girls he’d kidnapped. At first, Deputy Director John Van Leer (R. Ward Duffy) and Senator Jenna Preuitt (Lorna Lowe) praised him for his transparency. But then Forrester, with help from the agent Dandridge had placed on the team, Zoey McKenna (Kelley Missal), figured out how the other man was so up to date on the moves they weren’t telling him: He issued an unauthorized wiretap on ...

Is the Fly Team about to say goodbye to their boss, Special Agent Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank), in the January 24 episode of FBI: International? If Ken Dandridge (Michael Torpey) gets his way, yes, but Forrester has said he’s not leaving without a fight. “When it comes to Dandridge, Scott knows he has to play his cards right. Even though he would love to get into a physical fight with him, he is much smarter than that,” Kleintank tells TV Insider. “This fight, for him, is a game of cat and mouse, where Forrester is slowly stalking his prey.” The rest of the Fly Team doesn’t exactly agree with Forrester’s methods; understandably, the last thing they want is for Scott to be reassigned (to Alabama!). “The team thinks Scott needs to be more proactive in positioning himself, but he’s always one step ahead,” Kleintank says. In addition...

Time and time again during this year’s pandemic, movie studios have had to make the best of a bad situation. HBO Max’s list of new releases for December 2020 comes along with the most extreme example yet.
WarnerMedia undoubtedly had big plans for Wonder Woman 1984 when it scheduled it for a holiday release last year. After moving it to the summer, however, the conglomerate had to delay its theatrical release time and time again. Now HBO Max is the lucky winner of the saga, as it gets to premiere the long-awaited sequel on its servers on Dec. 25.
While Wonder Woman 1984 is definitely the headline this month, there are some other intriguing streaming options for HBO Max in December.

Is TruTV going to solve student debt? No, don’t be silly. But one lucky contestant will get their student loans paid off by the network Tuesday night.
The network will debut its new game show “Paid Off” Tuesday at 10 p.m., which will see three college grads get a chance at winning their freedom from student debt. The show is hosted by “Orange Is the New Black’s” Michael Torpey. “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” alum Leigh Hampton serves as showrunner.
If the idea of a game show to help people pay off what is a serious real-world issue for many sounds ridiculous, Torpey agrees.

When it comes to rewarding the best comedic cast on television, the SAG Awards often simply go with the biggest cast. Recent winners like “Orange is the New Black” (2014-2016), “Glee” (2009), “Desperate Housewives” (2004-2005) and “Ally McBeal” (1998) all prevailed thanks in part to having the most cast members on the voting ballot. Interestingly enough, all four of these were also hour-long dramedies, which suggests SAG voters are more apt to give the prize to large casts when they’re also in large productions.
What does this statistic mean in terms of predicting the 2018 SAG Awards? “Orange is the New Black” once again boasts the biggest comedy cast with a record-setting 45 men and women nominated for the Netflix prison series. That’s up from 37 cast members in 2016, 34 in 2015, and 40 in 2014. Of this year’s other nominated ensembles, Netflix’s “Glow” consists of 18 cast members, followed by HBO’s “Veep” at 15, ABC...

“We’re laying low, and we’re staying out of trouble,” Piper says.
“That’s right,” Alex responds. “If this is trouble, we turn around and we walk the other way. We are out of the business.”
Suddenly it dawns on Piper that they could be in the midst of major upheaval. “If this is real riot, do you think this is a step forward or backward for equality?” she asks.
