I don’t know about you but I am thrilled that HankMed is back for another season of one of my favorite summer TV series, Royal Pains. The list of guest stars this season is mind-blowing. We’ve already seen a few of them in the season premiere, and tonight’s episode features another favorite of mine, Padma Lakshmi. In the meantime, below is an exclusive look behind-the-scenes of Royal Pains, which airs on USA Tuesdays at 9/8c.

For the past two decades, filmmaker Doug Block (HBO’s “51 Birch Street,” “The Kids Grow Up”) has helped support his documentary work by shooting the occasional wedding. Known for his intimate, fly-on-the-wall style, he repeatedly found himself bonding with couples on their big day, never to see them again once the video was completed. Having long wondered what became of some of these marriages, Block began to track down a few of his favorite couples. Juxtaposing rapturous wedding-day flashbacks with remarkably candid present-day interviews, the documentary 112 WEDDINGS asks what comes after “I do,” exploring timeless themes of love, romance and commitment when it debuts MONDAY, JUNE 30 (9:00-10:35 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO.

Salem’s “Children Be Afraid” is a mixed bag of action and intrigue as Increase Mather’s (Stephen Lang) witch hunt continues, wreaking havoc and stirring up more tension among the Salem townspeople. Meanwhile, Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery), Tituba (Ashley Madekwe), and Mercy Lewis (Elise Eberle) rush to find a solution in dealing with George Sibley (Michael Mulheren), who will be the coven’s demise should he awaken from his coma-like state. With so many critical moments this week, it’s a pleasant surprise to find some lighter scenes in between the darker ones.

Control. We all think we have it in regards to ourselves. We control our urges, suppress dark desires, and even deny our deepest, primal instincts for fear of judgment and retribution. What happens when you give in, just a little, to those urges? What happens when you give up a bit of control and let the darkness in? For Vanessa (Eva Green), bad things happen when she lets her hair down, so to speak. Penny Dreadful does it again with “What Death Can Join Together,” as we are taken on a journey down a dark lane full of malice, mayhem, and a dash of penitence.

After three season of Suits, it appeared the writers were running out of ideas to keep the series exciting. Countless episodes of internal power struggles became all too familiar and the rotation of names on the Pearson Hardman Darby Specter wall had become a running joke. A shake up was needed but not one that would upset the balance of such a wonderful ensemble cast. So, why not just give Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams) his own spinoff?

When I reviewed the pilot for the USA network show Graceland, I had less than flattering things to say about Vanessa Ferlito’s role as Charlie. Since then, her role as an undercover FBI agent has evolved and Charlie has become a force to be reckoned with. On June 6, 2014 I spoke with Ferlito about Graceland and what she is excited for the fans to see this season.

Welcome to season two of Fargo. Ok, maybe not, but it sure feels like that after “The Heap,” which, as I stated in my review, felt like a season finale. So much changed when the show jumped forward a year that in many ways, “A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage” feels like the beginning of a new season. Even the look of the show feels different as characters’ appearances have changed, and a few are living in new places.

Graceland returns for season two on Wednesday, June 11, and quickly hits the ground running. When we last saw FBI agent Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit), he was in Washington D.C. working as the special assistant to the deputy director. Taking down Bellow (Gbenga Akinnagbe) last season made Mike a rock star within the FBI but Mike quickly realizes he can only ride the Bellow wave for so long.

Witches are not the only monsters in Salem as Increase Mather’s (Stephen Lang) hunt for “the devil’s whores” takes a pivotal turn in “Departures.” WGN America’s original series Salem hits its stride with strong performances from the cast, and fast-moving action sequences. There are several compelling scenes that shine, so much so, it’s possible to look past the series prior imperfections.

“Closer Than Sisters” provides a deep insight into Vanessa’s mind as we see how she grew up, her friendship with Mina, and the way Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton) and she came to be united in finding Mina who is lost in the shadows. The richness in the story telling is beyond compelling, transfixing you, and transporting you to Vanessa’s childhood home along the seashore. What impresses me most throughout “Closer Than Sisters” is Green’s acting. As Vanessa becomes ill, her seizures, convulsions, and violent outbursts are truly remarkable.

Ever since he created the TV police comedy The Unusuals, I have been a fan of Noah Hawley’s. On May 30, 2014 during a conference call, I spoke with Hawley about his current show Fargo, which is based on the 1996 Coen Brothers’ film of the same name, as well as The Unusuals. Noah developed and wrote Fargo with the blessing of the Coen Brothers, who took a back seat with the series, serving only as executive producers.
