I love the winter season of TV shows on Showtime. There’s Shameless, House of Lies, Episodes, and Web Therapy, to name a few of the returning series for 2015. Below are the premiere dates for these highly popular series, as well as Showtime’s upcoming comedy and documentary specials for late fall 2014.

The Affair – “103” Review. A Man in Charge.
This week’s installment of The Affair doesn’t further Noah (Dominic West) and Alison’s (Ruth Wilson) affair much although it does examine their relationship at this point of Detective Jeffries’ (Victor Williams) questioning. Instead, it delves into the history of a long-standing feud between the Solloway and Hodge families. Oscar Hodge (Darren Goldstein), Alison’s boss at The Lobster Roll, doesn’t particularly care for Alison’s husband Cole (Joshua Jackson), and “103” provides some insight into why.

Homeland – “About a Boy” Review. There’s More Than One Way to Skin a Cat.
“About a Boy” really is about a boy; almost the entire hour is spent with Carrie (Claire Dane) doing her best to get Aayan (Suraj Sharma) to admit his uncle, Haissam Haqqani (Numan Acar), the terrorist leader who was killed by a CIA air strike in Homeland’s season premiere, is actually alive and well. It was a real shocker to see him hugging Aayan last week in “Iron in the Fire.”

Haven — “Nowhere Man” Recap. Dead Men Do Tell Tales.
“Nowhere Man” takes us on a strange yet interesting journey full of unexpected twists and turns. We learn more about the Audrey/Mara (Emily Rose) split from “The Old Switcheroo, Part 1” and how it affects Audrey’s ability to help the “troubled.” There is also some “pancake” time with Nathan (Lucas Bryant) and Audrey, but it takes a back seat to the intricacy of the mysterious new trouble sweeping through town.

Smithsonian Channel Presents KING TUT’S FINAL MYSTERY
Tutankhamun’s story has captivated the entire world since archaeologists discovered the boy king’s spectacular tomb buried deep in the Egyptian desert in 1922.

The Blacklist – “The Front” Review. The Key.
When a woman is involved in a hit and run accident, Reddington (James Spader) reveals her identity to Agent Keen (Megan Boone). She is Carrie Ann Beck (Katrina Lenk), an eco-terrorist, who, along with her husband Maddox (Michael Laurence), was believed to be dead — until now. The most troubling aspect about all this is how disturbed Reddington is about the Becks.

Photos and What’s Next on Jane the Virgin
Last week, I discovered The CW’s new comedy series, Jane the Virgin. I couldn’t believe how much I laughed throughout the show. The series is based on the telenovela Juana la Virgen, and revolves around 23-year-old Jane (Gina Rodriguez) who becomes pregnant after mistakenly being artificially inseminated by her distracted gynecologist. Unfortunately, Jane has a boyfriend, Michael (Brett Dier), …

Guess Who’s Coming Back to The Real Housewives of New York!
If you don’t know by now, I’m crazy for my Real Housewives … from Atlanta to Beverly Hills, and from New Jersey to New York. And, as disappointed as I was that Bethenny Frankel’s talk show Bethenny didn’t succeed, that’s as happy as I am about the news that she’s rejoining The Real Housewives of New York for season seven of the hit reality series.

The Affair – “102” Review. Jam, Fish, and Horsies, Oh My!
“102” does an excellent job of furthering The Affair’s main story line, giving us important character development and backstories. The cinematography, in particular, is breathtaking, especially in the opening sequence. The Affair’s writers have stepped up their game, making Noah and Alison more relatable and easy to form a connection with. I was completely engrossed in the entire episode and at the end of the hour, I was left wanting more…much, much more.
