Minimalist director Kelly Reichardt weaves an affecting portrait of four unconnected women living in the American Northwest. Starring Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Lily Gladstone, Certain Women is broken up into sections and based on a collection of short stories by Maile Meloy. It centers chiefly on the characters played by Dern, Williams and Stewart, each attempting, in their own way, to build their own ordinary lives.

Deeply empathetic and engrossing, Certain Women is a slow-burn that mesmerizes with its careful pacing and attention to detail. At the same time, its characters are rich yet understated, portrayed with care by all four actresses. It is difficult to watch the film and not see a little bit of oneself in each character, as scenarios depicted are specific yet universal. Certain Women warmly showcases the bittersweet, beautiful melancholy of life.

Since the earliest days of the medium as a mainstream form of entertainment, television drama has been defined by the creative dare, pioneering brilliance, and thematic richness of crime stories. Regardless of whether they be police procedural series that take viewers on taut and twisting tales of mystery or cutting and callous immersions into the world of organized crime, the genre has produced countless shows that function as addictive and binge-worthy drama.

Ranging from hard-edged cop shows of the 80s and 90s that broke new ground for the medium to modern stories of power and criminal ambition that stand among the greatest series ever made, these outstanding television spectacles are still easy to sink into today. Many of them stand not only as dazzling masterpieces that represent the genre at its intense and impeccable best, but as some of the most important and innovative series in television history as well.

‘Hannibal’ (2013–2015)

Wickedly exciting from start to finish, Hannibal excels as an engrossing psychological thriller that amplifies the intensity of its cat-and-mouse game of manipulation with stunning performances, macabre intrigue, and a glorious penchant for some of the most artistic and auspicious gore television has ever seen. Based on the works of Thomas Harris, primarily “Red Dragon,” it follows Will Graham (Hugh Dancy), a deeply disturbed FBI criminal profiler whose ability to empathize with serial killers makes him an invaluable asset to solving active cases. However, as his unique ability also sees him confront the deepest depravities of humanity, he is consistently monitored by the esteemed psychologist, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen).

Despite garnering an impassioned fan following and consistent critical acclaim, the series was prematurely canceled after just three seasons, but not before delivering one of the most absorbing and intoxicating crime thrillers the small screen has ever been treated to. Its marriage of rich character drama, scintillating psychological horror, and stunning visual display makes it ridiculously easy to binge-watch, as does the captivating dynamic between the two leads, whose relationship of intellect and manipulation makes for one of the most engrossing rivalries in the medium’s history.

‘Homicide: Life on the Streets’ (1993–1999)

Image via NBC

Based on the nonfiction book by crime reporter David Simon—who would become one of the most influential crime TV showrunners in his own right in ensuing years—Homicide: Life on the Streets is a definitive catalyst of television’s golden era. Groundbreaking for its time, the ’90s cop show following homicide detectives in the Baltimore Police Department revolutionized the genre with its gritty realism—defined by everything from its handheld camera work to its confronting depiction of coarse police methods—as well as its emphasis on serialized storytelling rather than episodic entertainment.

Even by today’s standards, the crime series achieves an air of authenticity that is commanding, not to mention beautifully supported by its incredible writing and performances, particularly in its earlier seasons. Its documentary-style approach endows the series with a visceral intensity that was not only innovative but has proved to be truly timeless as well. Complemented by character-driven drama that acknowledges the humanity and the faults of police officers, Homicide: Life on the Streets is a precursor to the glory the genre would experience through the 2000s that is still an intoxicating and enlightening viewing experience in 2026.

‘Magnum P.I.’ (1980–1988)

Image via CBS

It is easy to look back on many of the crime classics of ’80s television and cringe. They tend to be overly glorifying, anachronistic, casually racist, and thematically gutless as they celebrate law enforcement getting the bad guys in the most sensational and violent ways possible. One series that has surprisingly held up well over the decades is Magnum P.I., which was something of an early pioneer of this vein of action-packed police entertainment that ran for eight seasons following the cases worked by the easy-going Hawaii-based private detective, Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck).

The series does exhibit a highly entertaining spectacle of action, carnage, and a surprisingly heartfelt friendship between Magnum and the stern former British Army regimental sergeant major, Jonathan Higgins III (John Hillerman), but it also never shies away from tackling cultural issues with depth when they arise. This blending of nostalgic, escapist fun and thematic maturity makes Magnum P.I. an old-school cop show that is still easy to enjoy today, even standing as a binge-worthy spectacle of style and fun in today’s world, where police drama is steeped in gloom.

7

‘Hill Street Blues’ (1981–1987)

Image via NBC

While police drama in the ’80s was largely defined by a certain flamboyance and fantasy escapism, Hill Street Blues proved that there was still an appetite for taut and dramatic storytelling that relished realism over sensationalist action. In many ways, the ’80s series was decades ahead of its time, with the show using its story revolving around the police and staff of an inner-city precinct to not only deliver deep and nuanced character studies, but to examine such themes as the corrosive inefficiency of bureaucracy, the moral complexity of law enforcement, and even social issues like racism, alcoholism, and corruption in the force.

Not dissimilar to the aforementioned Homicide: Life on the Streets, Hill Street Blues exhibits a penchant for gritty and intense cinematography that immerses viewers in the immediate suspense of police work with documentary-style visuals while delivering narrative arcs that span over the course of multiple episodes. It may be a forgotten classic of the genre for many in today’s world, but Hill Street Blues is one of the most influential titles in the genre’s history on the small screen, and its narrative sensitivities and arresting style are every bit as addictive today as they were back in the ’80s.

6

‘The Bridge’ (2011–2018)

Image via SVT1 & DR1

Nordic noir has become a defining staple of crime television over the past 15 years. The Scandinavian grasp on mystery intrigue is one laced with compelling darkness, nuanced characters, and winding stories packed with shocking plot twists and addictively disturbing central mysteries. Among the very best of this subgenre of crime television is The Bridge, with the series revolving around the investigation of a murder in which the victim is placed on the Oresund Bridge that serves as the border between Denmark and Sweden. International tensions simmer as detectives from both countries work together on the sinister and politically loaded case.

Grounded by the surprisingly sweet relationship between the socially awkward and blunt Swedish detective Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) and her Danish colleagues, while still having skewering thematic ideas on everything from international politics and culture clashes to social issues of inequality and environmentalism, The Bridge is able to captivate viewers with far more than just the grisly nature of the crimes it focuses on. A faultless mixture of shocking and suspenseful cases and humane, socially-minded drama, the series’ four-season run is an underappreciated high point of television police drama at its bleak and brutal best.

5

‘Mindhunter’ (2017–2019)

Image via Netflix

An instant phenomenon of crime television that has already come to be heralded as a genre-defining classic despite being released less than 10 years ago, Mindhunter is a series defined by its atmospheric intensity, slow-burn suspense, divine cinematic visuals, and its unique spin on serial killer drama. Set in the 1970s, it follows two FBI agents and an esteemed psychologist as they travel around America interviewing detained murderers, gaining insights into their psychological conditions, motivations, and upbringings that can be applied to active cases to profile suspects.

It certainly leans into the modern obsession with true crime entertainment, featuring many of America’s most notorious serial killers as major characters and examining the crimes they committed from a perspective of analytical understanding rather than shocking violence or even obscene glorification. This sense of maturity is beautifully complemented by David Fincher’s trademark cinematic style, a ceaseless sense of psychological suspense, and deft writing and performances. The end result is a modern masterpiece of crime television that stands as one of the most defining Netflix original titles.

‘Twin Peaks’ (1991–1992; 2017)

35 years have passed since Twin Peaks premiered, and its influence over not just crime television but the medium at large continues to be profound to this day, and yet there has never been another series quite like it. Directed and co-created by David Lynch, it flaunts a hypnotic blending of piercing horror, surrealist fantasy, black comedy, and murder mystery as it follows FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in his investigation of the murder of a teenage prom queen in the small town of Twin Peaks, Washington.

Filled with a litany of intriguing characters and defined by its erratic unpredictability that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout, Twin Peaks exudes a magnetic and addictive allure through its atmospheric richness as much as it does through its intriguing mystery story. Its serialized narrative structure—which was decades ahead of its time—has also helped the series transcend generations to still be one of the most captivating crime dramas of all time, a fact supported by the success of the sequel series, Twin Peaks: The Return, released in 2017.

3

‘Breaking Bad’ (2008–2013)

Viewed by many as being the greatest television series of all time, of any genre, Breaking Bad is a near-perfect story of one man’s descent into immorality and corruption as he becomes embroiled in America’s drug trade. After being diagnosed with inoperable cancer, high school science teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) applies his knowledge of chemistry to the cooking of crystal meth, hoping to raise a sum of money to leave for his family after he dies. However, as he accrues influence in the crime world, his honorable intentions devolve into a manic lust for power that threatens to destroy everything he cares about.

Walter White’s bleak evolution from a meek suburban family man to a vindictive and cunning drug lord is supported by a litany of incredible performances and Vince Gilligan’s fiercely smart writing, ensuring every season sees the stakes rise exponentially. It makes for relentlessly thrilling television, a masterpiece of small-screen crime drama that culminates in one of the greatest finales the medium has ever seen. Even on multiple rewatches, Breaking Bad holds a compelling gravitas that makes it the epitome of binge-worthy drama. An honorable mention should also be extended to its spin-off series, Better Call Saul, which is similarly addictive from start to finish.

2

‘The Wire’ (2002–2008)

Image via HBO

2026 marks 18 years since The Wire came to its conclusion, and yet the sprawling HBO crime show remains at the pinnacle of crime television drama. Set in Baltimore, it maintains its focus on the hierarchy of the drug trade and the efforts of the police to bring the criminals involved in it to justice, but its scope steadily expands with each season to explore everything from the corruption in city hall to the career-minded priorities of the police department, the shifting nature of criminal enterprise in the early 2000s, and even the inefficiencies and failures of institutions that millions of Americans rely on.

Flaunting a constant sense of grounded realism, The Wire never once depicts any of its characters as hero or villain, instead delving into the complex morality of gangland violence and the bureaucratic red tape of law enforcement to present an enrapturing, epic-scale drama that compels from its opening moments to its finale. It is incredibly rewarding to binge-watch as it allows viewers to immerse themselves in the intricacies and thematic might of the story while riding every volatile twist and every outburst of violence. It marks one of television’s most defining masterpieces, and it is quite bitter that so many of the cultural and societal issues it explores are still so prevalent in today’s world.

1

‘The Sopranos’ (1999–2007)

Image via HBO

Not only standing as one of television’s most enduring masterpieces, but as a series that completely re-shaped the landscape of small-screen drama as well, The Sopranos is one of the most influential TV shows ever made, as well as one of the greatest. The HBO drama follows New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), who, after suffering a series of panic attacks linked to his volatile work-life balance, begins seeing a therapist in secret.

Every aspect of the series is handled with sublime artistry, from the depth, ambiguity, and nuance of its narrative progression to the absorbing complexity of its main characters, the profound brilliance of its performances, and even its tender thematic ideals that cover everything from generational trauma and traditionalism to the shallow lie that is the American dream. Also bolstering its often intense and extremely violent crime story with inflections of uproarious comedy and an emphasis on psychology that allows for Tony to be not only an authentic presentation of a mob boss but an engrossing and often confronting depiction of human nature as well, The Sopranos is incredibly easy to herald as being television’s defining masterpiece. It has lost none of its excellence over the 19 years since it concluded, making it an effortless binge-watch for today’s television lovers and an essential piece of small-screen drama for all who enjoy the medium.

Ciara Miller Had Almost No Warning About Their Statement

Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their romance in a joint Instagram statement on March 31, 2026. Ciara Miller told Glamour she had “less than 24 hours” notice before it went live.

“One [notification] was about 45 minutes before,” she recalled. “I read [the statement] with the rest of the world. There’s something about the lack of being able to say each other’s names in the statement that I found very telling, but I don’t know.”

Ciara Miller Chose ‘Glamour’ for a Reason

Ciara Miller waited weeks to speak publicly on the scandal, explaining, “I want to do it in my way, in a way that feels more intentional than just a podcast or a comment under a picture.”

Hours after Ciara’s interview was published, Amanda Batula and West Wilson appeared unbothered as they were spotted kissing at the Yankees vs. Royals baseball game.

Ciara Miller and West Wilson Set Boundaries — Including Not Sleeping With Bravo Stars

Ciara Miller Is More Hurt by Amanda Batula Than West Wilson

Ciara Miller made it clear that Amanda Batula’s involvement stung far deeper than her ex-boyfriend’s.

“At the end of the day, a guy’s a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can’t put anything past a man,” she said. “But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.”

According to Ciara, her last conversation with Amanda was “minimal,” which she planned to address further at the Summer House season 10 reunion.

The Crying-Outside-Hermes Photo, Explained

While speaking with Glamour, Ciara Miller addressed the tearful photo of herself sitting on the sidewalk outside the Hermès boutique in New York City that was taken moments after the couple’s statement went live in March 2026.

“I was supposed to be meeting my friend at Pastis, and it’s 12:45, and I’m like, ‘I cannot be sitting at this lunch while I’m reading this f***ing statement.’ I’m, like, ‘I’ll lose my f***ing mind,’” she said. “I didn’t mean for it to be right outside of Hermès, but chic nonetheless, I have to say.”

The Cast Feels ‘Bamboozled’

Ciara Miller told Glamour that the Summer House cast has been divided over the situation.

“I think everyone feels a little bamboozled at this point in time,” she told Glamour reporter Hunter Harris in an article outtake shared via Substack. “I’m not telling anyone to take sides, but if they’re taking a side, it’s probably because they’re also very confused and feel like they were led astray. I feel like there’s been a lot of lying on both sides between Amanda and West. They’ve both lied publicly to my face, to everyone else’s face, so it’s like, ‘Why?’”

She continued, “I think some people are clearly [taking sides]. But, at the same time, I feel like we have also so many new dynamics in the group. I’m not expecting anyone to take sides. Honestly, I’m not asking that of anyone. But I think they really know me, and they know how I move, and so I think that this is maybe more of a barometer of maybe why … I don’t know if I’m saying this right, but they’ve watched the whole story unfold in person.”

Ciara Miller Is Planning a ‘Statement’ Reunion Look

Ciara Miller teased her reunion outfit, telling Glamour that whatever she wears will be “a statement of where I stand” but stopped short of calling it a revenge dress. “I just think about what’s a proper representation of who I am right now,” she said, “Even at the reunion two years ago, I really wasn’t preparing anything to be a revenge dress. I was genuinely just like, ‘Oh, what do I want to wear?’ and I was working with my stylist at the time and we came up with something together.”

Over the years, there have been so many movies that delivered perfectly entertaining experiences, only to fall apart in their last moments. Conversely, there are also a select few films that not only avoid this hurdle, but go one better, ending their stories with such precision, beauty, and intelligence that they become seared in the audience’s minds for all time. When it comes to those masterpieces, the final shot is a memorable keystone capping a monumental achievement that is sure to stand the test of time.

It’s no surprise that the movies with the best final shots are also some of the best movies in general. These are films that have been celebrated by critics and audiences alike for generations, and even the most recent of them are movies that have had an undeniable impact on cinema and popular culture. So without further ado, here’s our ranked selection of movies with the most perfect final shots of all time.

8

‘Goodfellas’ (1990)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Directed by Martin Scorsese, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Pileggi, Goodfellas is a biographical gangster film adapted from Pileggi’s 1985 nonfiction book Wiseguy. The movie chronicles the rise and fall of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), who grows up idolizing the mob in his Brooklyn neighborhood and eventually climbs the ranks of the mafia alongside his friends, Jimmy (Robert De Niro) and Tommy (Joe Pesci), but one hot-headed mistake leads all three of them to ruin. Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino, Frank Sivero, Tony Darrow, Mike Starr, Frank Vincent, and more star in supporting roles.

A classic gangster movie, Goodfellas is easily one of Scorsese’s most popular films, and it has been praised by critics and fans alike for its talented performances, sharp editing, immersive cinematography, and engaging narrative. A sweeping crime saga that explores one man’s life in the mob, the story wraps up with Henry living out the remainder of his days in witness protection, having betrayed the mob to save his own skin, leaving him “condemned” to a mundane life. The final shot captures this perfectly, contrasting Tommy’s explosive life with Henry’s suburban exile.

7

‘Fight Club’ (1999)

Image via 20th Century Studios

Directed by David Fincher and adapted from Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel, Fight Club is a psychological thriller starring Edward Norton as an everyday white-collar professional suffering an existential crisis. A chance encounter with a traveling soap salesman, Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), sends his life in a whole new direction, as he and Tyler bring together other alienated men to create the titular underground club. The film also features Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, Jared Leto, Zach Greiner, and Holt McCallany in supporting roles.

A quintessential cult classic, Fight Club may have been a controversial film back when it first premiered, but it’s now widely regarded as one of the greatest postmodern thrillers of all time. The movie explores themes of identity and social ennui through a surreal, mind-bending narrative, which has been the subject of analysis and study by critics and scholars for decades now. All of its strange visual and thematic explorations culminate in a spectacular final scene, where we see Norton’s Narrator tell Helena Bonham Carter’s Marla Singer, “You met me at a very strange time in my life,” after which they hold hands and watch as a skyscraper explodes, ushering in a new day for them all.

6

‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968)

Image via 20th Century Studios

Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, Planet of the Apes is a classic science fiction film loosely inspired by Pierre Boulle’s 1963 novel. Charlton Heston stars as an astronaut who crash-lands on a strange planet in the distant future, where humans are mute primitives, and apes are the dominant species. Besides Heston, the movie also stars Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, James Whitmore, James Daly, and Linda Harrison.

The original Planet of the Apes was a critical and commercial hit when it premiered in 1968, and its final shot is easily one of the most famous in cinematic history. In the last scene of the film, Heston’s George Taylor and his companion Nova (Harrison) discover the remnants of the Statue of Liberty, revealing that the planet is actually a future Earth, which causes Taylor to collapse to the ground and curse humanity. It’s an iconic final shot that still hits true decades after it first arrived on screens.

5

‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ (1969)

Image via 20th Century Studios

Directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a Western movie loosely inspired by the real-life story of the titular outlaws. Paul Newman stars as Robert LeRoy Parker, aka Butch Cassidy, and Robert Redford as Harry Longabaugh, the “Sundance Kid.” The film follows them as they flee a US posse after a botched robbery and head to Bolivia for a second act, but find themselves inevitably drawn once again to the outlaw life. Katharine Ross co-stars as Sundance’s lover, Etta Place, and the movie also stars Strother Martin, Jeff Corey, George Furth, Cloris Leachman, Ted Cassidy, and more in supporting roles.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid didn’t have the best critical reception in its day, but it was a box office hit and received multiple Academy Awards, building a reputation as a landmark Western over the years. While the movie is an engaging watch throughout, its ending is arguably even more famous than the film itself, widely recognized as one of cinema’s most effective cliffhangers. In the movie’s final moments, we see the leading duo charge out at their enemies, guns blazing, with the sound of gunfire playing over a freeze-frame shot of the two bandits, leaving their ultimate fates to the audience’s imagination.

4

‘Casablanca’ (1942)

Directed by Michael Curtiz, Casablanca is an iconic wartime romance drama set in the titular city during the Second World War. The film follows jaded nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), whose life takes an unexpected turn when his former lover, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), asks him to help her husband Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), a Czech Resistance leader, escape the Nazis. The movie also features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Dooley Wilson, and more in supporting roles.

Casablanca is easily one of the most celebrated classics of all time, a war movie filmed and set during World War II. It features multiple performers who were refugees, which still transcends the limits of its setting and genre. The film’s ending is a big part of its enduring legacy, especially the final shot, in which a heartbroken Rick and Claude Rains’s Captain Louis Renault walk off into the fog, with Bogart delivering the iconic quote, “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” It’s a beautiful ending to a beautiful, evergreen classic.

3

‘Psycho’ (1960)

Produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho is a suspense thriller inspired by Robert Bloch’s eponymous 1959 novel. Janet Leigh stars as a secretary from Phoenix, Arizona, who steals from her employer and goes on the run, taking shelter at an out-of-the-way motel, where she meets the shy young proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). The movie also stars Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Martin Balsam in key supporting roles.

One of the most surprising things about Psycho is its tonal and narrative shift, beginning as a straightforward noir story and suddenly transforming into a very different kind of movie, which audiences today would recognize as a prototypical slasher. The unexpected twists and turns never really stop coming in the film, all the way to its final scene — a monologue in which Norman’s “Mother” personality asserts her innocence, with Anthony Perkins delivering an intensely creepy smile just before the credits roll.

2

‘The Godfather’ (1972)

Easily the most iconic gangster movie of all time, The Godfather is an adaptation of Mario Puzo’s novel, directed and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, that revolves around the Corleone mafia family, run by patriarch Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). After an attack on Vito by rival gangsters, his son Michael (Al Pacino), a war hero who never wanted to be in the life, finds himself called to follow in his father’s footsteps. The film also stars James Caan, Diane Keaton, Richard Bright, Talia Shire, and Robert Duvall in other lead roles.

The Godfather is a timeless classic and a truly epic film, an undeniable masterpiece of the New Hollywood era. Though Don Vito is the title character, the movie is really about Michael and his transformation into a ruthless crime boss, which plays out slowly but surely over the film’s nearly three-hour runtime, ending in one of the most iconic final shots of all time. Presented from the perspective of Michael’s wife, Kay (Diane Keaton), we see the Corleone family capos pledge fealty to Michael as the new Don, and a door closes, symbolizing the moment she finally realizes that her husband is, now and until death, the Godfather.

‘Inception’ (2010)

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Inception is an Academy Award-winning sci-fi film that follows professional thief Dominick “Dom” Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), who steals information from his targets by infiltrating their subconscious. After a failed job targeting Japanese businessman Saito (Ken Watanabe), Cobb is offered a tempting deal: a clean slate and a chance to reunite with his family in exchange for completing one last job. The movie’s ensemble cast also includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Elliot Page, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine.

Inception is easily one of the most mind-bending films ever made, building layers and layers of reality and illusion on the bones of a heist thriller narrative. It’s the sort of story that leaves a real impression on the audience, lingering in the mind long after the credits roll, and that’s to a great extent attributable to its deceptively vague ending. You can’t really explain why the ending is so good without spoiling the whole movie, but suffice to say, its final shot leaves viewers questioning whether the ending truly is real, or just another layer of dream. That one shot has been a matter of debate and discussion among cinephiles and film scholars for over 16 years.

One of the many reasons Trekkies were salty about Starfleet Academy is that they wanted a different show entirely. Specifically, they wanted Star Trek: Legacy, a series in which Seven of Nine is the captain of the Enterprise.

Picking up where Picard left off, this show would give us adventures set in the 25th century while mixing new characters with familiar faces from shows like The Next Generation and Voyager. Fan demand for this show was insanely high, and since we never got it, there have been persistent rumors that Alex Kurtzman hated and ultimately killed that project, driving Picard showrunner Terry Matalas away so that he could focus on Starfleet Academy, his passion project.

Now, Jamie Rixom of the popular Tachyon Pulse podcast has presented a different narrative. He claims that both Kurtzman and Paramount were very eager to make Star Trek: Legacy, but that Kurtzman convinced them to do Starfleet Academy first.

However, the merger with Skydance and the subsequent purchase of Warner Bros. suddenly turned the future of the franchise into a question mark. If this is true, then Kurtzman effectively signed Star Trek’s death warrant by insisting on a doomed show that will almost certainly result in Paramount killing the franchise as we know it.

A New Spin On Old Rumors

During his recent podcast, Jamie Rixom addressed the most common narrative about Star Trek: Legacy. Namely, that Alex Kurtzman was jealous of how much fans liked Picard Season 3 and how much credit they were giving to showrunner Terry Matalas. That narrative (which, to be fair, is mostly touted by avowed Kurtzman haters) claims that Kurtzman wanted to ice Matalas out and then shove Starfleet Academy down our throats. There has never been any real confirmation of these rumors, but based on the fact that he was co-showrunner, it seems true that SFA was a real passion project for Kurtzman.

Rixom presents an interesting variant of these rumors. Citing his insider knowledge of studio wheelings and dealings, he claims that Paramount and Kurtzman were very keen to do Star Trek: Legacy, but that the network didn’t want more than two Trek shows streaming at once. Therefore, Starfleet Academy got the green light first, and there were allegedly plans to start working on Legacy after Strange New Worlds wrapped up. However, the merger with Skydance effectively shut down production of new shows in the franchise, though hopes were high that the already greenlit SFA would prove popular. Now, that show has been canceled after Season 1, leaving Star Trek in a kind of creative limbo.

Our Last Hope, Lost

Obviously, the show will go on, and Paramount will create new movies and TV shows in this franchise because it is one of their most bankable IPs. Why, then, do I believe that Alex Kurtzman has killed the brand as we know it? Because we’re never going to get another show anything like the Golden Age of Star Trek. Legacy was our last shot at getting a series that had familiar faces and took place in the beloved time period of TNG and DS9. 

If Legacy had gotten the green light instead of SFA, then its inevitable success (remember how much everyone liked Picard Season 3?) would encourage Paramount to make more Trek shows and movies in this vein. Now, though, I’d bet my last bar of gold-pressed latinum that Paramount’s new leadership will look at the failure of Starfleet Academy and the general train wreck that is NuTrek and decide to reboot this entire universe for a second time. Kurtzman haters may cheer at this prospect, but consider this: new shows headed by a new empty suit who has even less reason to care about canon are going to be even less like classic Trek than ever before.

Star Trek In Name Only

Star Trek: Legacy wasn’t just fans’ wishful thinking: it was, in every way that counts, the last chance to get a new show with the vibe of beloved series like The Next Generation and Voyager. Even in the kinder, gentler narrative of Jamie Rixom’s alleged insider info, Alex Kurtzman is still the guy who personally championed making SFA instead of Legacy. He had no way of knowing about the upcoming changes to Paramount, but his decision still guaranteed the last show of the NuTrek era was a complete failure that will likely doom this franchise as the network builds new shows that are Star Trek in name only.

Before Paramount fully runs Trek into the ground, I have a simple request: can you please shoot Kurtzman’s contract out of the nearest airlock?

Country music star Maren Morris has opened up about her first relationship with a woman after coming out as bisexual in 2024.

The singer, unfortunately, didn’t have nice things to say about the experience, branding the brief relationship “f-cked up.”

Maren Morris shared that within weeks of their casual romance falling apart, the unidentified woman resorted to lies and even threatened to destroy her reputation.

Maren Morris Says Her First Experience With A Woman Was ‘Pretty F-cked Up’

In a video shared on her TikTok page on Wednesday, Morris spoke about her bisexual journey, recounting her “depressing” experience dating a woman for the first time.

“I briefly was seeing a woman, and I was not looking for anything serious,” she said per Page Six. “I feel like I’m at a point in my life right now where I don’t have that to give.”

The singer said she “was very clear” about what she wanted from the relationship because she’s “all about communication,” adding that the unidentified woman responded, “‘Oh, totally. I’m down.’”

However, according to Morris, things quickly went awry: “I’m not kidding, within like, three weeks of this completely falling apart, it was lies, threats to my reputation and borderline extortion.”

“It was pretty f-cked up. And for that to be my first experience, it was just so depressing,” she continued, before adding she is “just really cool being alone” now.

Speaking further about the “f-cked up” relationship, Morris shared that her friends from the lesbian community told her it was not an unusual experience, hinting that it was to be expected when one starts dating women.

“‘You start seeing women, and one is going to almost ruin your life,’” Morris recalled a pal of hers saying, per Page Six. “‘We’ve all been there. You just have to push through.’”

The singer then asked her fans, “Is that a thing?” while chuckling in disbelief at the advice she received.

Morris captioned the video “bi trauma.”

Fans of the star also advised her to stay strong, with one writing, “Every other one will be crazy, but hang in there. When you are ready, it will happen. You have to be good being alone first.”

Maren Morris Recently Slammed Trump Voters

Morris’ comments about her first experience dating a woman come shortly after she went viral for her scathing criticism of people who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections.

In a TikTok video, the 35-year-old said she has little patience for those who continue to back the president.

She criticized what she described as loyal “triple Trumpers,” arguing that voters ultimately bear responsibility for the political situation they helped create.

“You did vote for this,” she said. “He is a dementia ridden, diaper-clad, cornball, ex-TV host … you voted for this, and you got bamboozled. This is literally the result of ploying and voting for losers.”

Morris has long been vocal about politics and how those views have shaped her experience in the country music industry. Earlier this year, the “Chasing After You” singer reflected on how her career has unfolded alongside major political shifts in the United States.

The Singer Reflects On Career Success Amid A Politicized Country Music Scene

In a January TikTok, Morris explained that her breakthrough single, “My Church,” brought her major success when it was released in 2016. The song gained heavy country radio play and later earned her a Grammy Award.

But the timing of that success coincided with Trump’s first presidential victory, which she said made the atmosphere around her career feel increasingly political.

“My entire, like, success of my first record was under this first year of Trump’s reign. So weirdly everything felt very political, even though, like, no one cared that much before,” she noted.

Her debut album, “Hero,” arrived just months before the 2016 election, and Morris said the industry climate changed noticeably afterward.

According to the singer, the past decade of her career has largely taken place during a period defined by the Trump presidency, the administration of Joe Biden, and Trump’s return to the political spotlight, which has made the country music space “very politicized.”

Maren Morris Embraces Her Queer Identity, Shares Pride Celebration With Fans

Beyond politics, Morris has long been outspoken about her progressive beliefs, frequently criticizing conservative politics and right-leaning media while advocating for causes like LGBTQ+ rights and racial justice.

Last June, she celebrated her first Pride since coming out as bisexual, reflecting on her journey amid a country music scene she has called “toxic” in the past. Morris shared the milestone with her Instagram followers, writing, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+, happy Pride!”

Previously married to fellow country singer Ryan Hurd, 39, the couple shares a five-year-old son, Hayes Andrew Hurd. Morris has said she “always knew” she was attracted to both men and women but had never publicly discussed it.

In an interview with The Zoe Report, she explained that her straight relationships over the past 15 years, combined with the demands of her music career and life in Nashville, had kept her from coming out sooner.

“I never felt brave enough to talk about it,” she said. In June 2024, she finally embraced her truth. “That was just a facet of me that I didn’t think I wanted private anymore,” Morris said.

She added, “I wanted to be able to connect with my fans and my queer community. Especially in a time where you’re in this free-for-all post-divorce reckoning, community has been so necessary for me and life-saving. Being honest and being vulnerable is the only way that you find community.”

Justin Theroux and his wife, Nicole Brydon Bloom, are officially parents following the arrival of their first baby.

“He’s here 🕊️ we are so in love,” Theroux, 54, and Bloom, 32, wrote via a joint Instagram post on Saturday, April 18, alongside a black and white photo of the newborn lying across the actor’s chest.

News broke in December 2025 that Theroux and Bloom were expecting their first baby nine months after their wedding.

That same month, Bloom confirmed her pregnancy when she debuted her baby bump at the season 2 premiere of Fallout in Los Angeles. The actress glowed in a sparkly figure-hugging dress on the red carpet as she posed for photos and held hands with Theroux.

Many stars grew their families in 2026. Former Bachelor contestant Sydney Warner announced in January that she gave birth to her second baby with her husband, NFL star Fred Warner. The Warners aren’t the only stars who have their hands full this year. Meghan McCain, for her part, welcomed baby No. 3 nearly a week […]

Bloom and Theroux subsequently closed out the year with a babymoon in Mexico.

“So much fun to revisit our favorite place with a little one on the way 🕊️👶🏼,” she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos from their December 2025 getaway.

Bloom and Theroux stayed at Hotel Esencia in Xpu Há, Mexico, where the couple tied the knot in March 2025.

After their trip to Mexico, the pair traveled to Florida to spend time with family. Bloom shared several photos of their time at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, showing off her pregnant belly in the process.

In January, Bloom posed solo on the red carpet at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, cradling her baby bump in a champagne sequined gown. (Her show Paradise was nominated for Best Drama Series but ultimately lost the accolade to The Pitt.)

Theroux and Bloom were first linked in February 2023. The duo were later spotted kissing while out for drinks in New York City that August. That December, Bloom made their romance Instagram official when she posted a photo of Theroux at her twin sister Chrissy’s wedding.

Theroux and Bloom got engaged in August 2024 when he proposed while they were in Italy for the 2024 Venice Film Festival. She sparked rumors about their upgraded relationship status when she was spotted with what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand at the premiere of Theroux’s movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice earlier that month.

“Of course, I was nervous proposing,” Theroux told The Times in September 2024. “It is a question after all, so the answer isn’t guaranteed. But it was wonderful.”

News broke in March 2025 that Theroux and Bloom tied the knot in Mexico. Photos obtained by TMZ at the time showed the newlyweds taking romantic photos on the beach with the bride in a white wedding dress and the groom in a coordinating white tuxedo.

Prior to his relationship with Bloom, Theroux was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018. After they parted ways, Theroux explained why he opted to keep his love life private following the scrutiny surrounding his marriage to Aniston.

“There’s something to, once you’re out of that, where I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in,” he told Esquire in May 2023. “And I’m not trying to be evasive but I talk to Jen — I don’t talk about Jen. People will always want to gossip and say things, but you have to find that balance.”

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom may keep things low-key but their romance has been quite the whirlwind.

Rumors swirled that the pair were first linked in February 2023 and they were first spotted together a few months later. In May 2023, Theroux — ex-husband to Jennifer Aniston, after all — said that it was “more fun” to be in a private relationship than in a highly public and scrutinized one.

“There’s something to, once you’re out of that, where I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in,” he told Esquire at the time.

It wasn’t until December 2023 that Theroux and Bloom quietly made things Instagram official. Nicole brought the actor as her plus one to her twin sister Chrissy Brydon Bloom’s wedding. Theroux was featured in a series of snaps from the occasion.

Andrea Barber is leaning all the way into nostalgia, and she’s not sugarcoating how much she misses the era that made her a household name. Best known for her role as Kimmy Gibbler on “Full House,” Barber became one of the most recognizable faces of ‘90s television. And while the industry has evolved dramatically since then, Andrea Barber is making it clear that not all change is for the better.

Andrea Barber Gets Candid About What’s Been Lost

While attending “American Idol”’s ‘90s-themed night, the actress opened up about her deep connection to the decade and why it still holds such a special place in her heart. “I miss the ’90s. It was, like, the last innocent decade before the world got really heavy,” Barber told Entertainment Tonight. “And it just brings about comfort and safety and love, and what’s not to love about that.”

For Barber, it’s not just about personal memories, but it’s about the overall feeling of that time, both on and off screen.

Network TV ‘Was Where It Was’ And Streaming Changed Everything

The former sitcom star didn’t hold back when comparing the television landscape then versus now, pointing to the dominance of network TV as something that brought audiences together. “Dude, man, network TV, that was where it was,” Barber said, calling the ‘90s the “network TV heyday.”

Today’s streaming-heavy world? She says it just doesn’t have the same impact. “Now, you know, it’s a little bit fractured,” Barber explained, adding that although the variety is “okay,” she misses the simplicity of sitcoms.

In today’s TV world, viewers are spread across platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, where full seasons drop at once, and everyone watches on their own time. While that on-demand access is convenient, it’s also taken away the shared, real-time experience that once had audiences tuning in together every week.

Andrea Barber Says ‘We Just Want To Laugh’ As She Slams Heavy TV Trend

Barber also made it clear she’s craving a return to feel-good programming, arguing that not everything needs to be intense or emotionally heavy. “We don’t need heavy TV, we don’t need dramatic or sad TV, we just want to laugh and let go,” she said. It’s a sentiment that longtime sitcom fans will likely agree with, especially those who grew up during TV’s lighter, laugh-track-driven era.

But beyond the fame and cultural impact, Barber says the most meaningful part of her journey has been the relationships she built along the way. “They’re so special,” she admitted. “They are family. Absolutely family.” That connection hasn’t faded with time, either. In fact, she revealed the cast was recently texting in their group chat ahead of the event, celebrating Candace Cameron Bure’s milestone 50th birthday.

That tight-knit bond clearly isn’t just for show. It’s something Barber and her castmates still lean into in their everyday lives, even decades later. During an episode of “How Rude, Tanneritos!,” Cameron Bure stepped in as host while Jodie Sweetin was away, giving fans a glimpse into the duo’s decades-long connection offscreen.

Barber And Cameron Bure Still Use Their Iconic Character Names In Real Life

The longtime co-stars instantly slipped back into their iconic roles, greeting each other, “Hi, D.J.! Hi, Kimmy!” before laughing about a tradition they’ve kept alive for years. “Does everyone know that we call each other Kimmy and D.J.?” Cameron Bure asked. “I don’t know. If they don’t, they do now,” Barber replied. “That we literally call each other that every time we see each other.”

“Every time we see each other,” Cameron Bure confirmed. The habit even caught fellow ‘90s star Jaleel White off guard during a run-in at 90s Con. “Jaleel White, who, of course, played Urkel, was there and…he stopped in his tracks and he was like, ‘Whoa, what? Did you, for real, just call each other your character names?’ It was weird to him but not to us.”

Andrea Barber Admits Turning 50 Feels ‘Surreal’

Today, Barber is preparing to hit a big milestone herself, turning the big 5-0. Calling the upcoming birthday “a big moment,” she admitted the number doesn’t quite match how she feels. “I still feel like that 15-year-old in Kimmy Gibbler’s clothes.” And that’s exactly why fans still love her.

Rosie O’Donnell has addressed previously supporting politician Eric Swalwell before his sexual misconduct scandal came to light.

“You can’t help but feel all of the chaos of the country when you’re there, like, you can’t help but feel it,” O’Donnell, 64, said in a recent TikTok video about her recent trip across the pond from Ireland to visit family. “Can we talk for a little bit about Eric Swalwell? I know that guy.”

O’Donnell further revealed that she had previously spoken with Swalwall, 45, “on the phone a couple times” and likely donated money to his campaign.

“[I] talked about him in some public appearances years ago about how I believed in him and his cute little family,” the actress recalled. “[I spoke about him] standing up to all those people when he berates them for their moral-less behavior, and then all this comes out.”

Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and more prominent Democrats are reacting to claims Eric Swalwell, a Democratic congressman representing California’s 14th congressional district, sexually assaulted and harassed multiple women. “This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability,” Pelosi said in a statement in response to the allegations. “As I discussed with […]

News broke earlier in April that multiple women, including one of Swalwell’s former staffers, accused the disgraced congressman of sexual misconduct and harassment. He vehemently denied the accusations.

“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” Swalwell said in a statement. “For nearly 20 years, I have served the public — as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.”

He continued, “I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I’m a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past. Those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.”

Swalwall has been married to Brittany Watts, with whom he shares three children, since 2016. While Watts has not publicly addressed the scandal, Swalwall has since resigned from his position in the U.S. Congress and suspended his campaign for California governor.

As for O’Donnell, she found the scandal to be “heartbreaking.”

“I wrote him a little message, and I said, ‘Bill Clinton broke my heart and now you did too,’” she said. “The conclusion I’ve come to: ‘Men suck.’ The way that they are physiologically they can’t, sort of, control their sexual urges. This is what I find.”

Swalwall, who has not publicly responded to O’Donnell’s message, has vowed to fight the accusations.

“We are confident that the truth will prevail,” his attorney Sara Azari said in an April statement, denying the allegations. “We will pursue every available legal remedy against those responsible for orchestrating these reprehensible campaign of lies.”
