    Spoiler alert! This story contains details about the series finale of "Squid Game.""Squid Game" is over, but it seems the Games will never end. That's the haunting message we're left with in the final moments of Netflix's juggernaut South Korean horror drama, which wrapped up its third and last season with six episodes released June 27. Like the first two seasons, the episodes were unrelentingly bloody and bleak. And they wrapped up with an ending that might be a new beginning.

    There is a moment in Season 4 of FX's "The Bear," which has taken over every summer on TV since it premiered in 2022, when you acutely remember why you got so sucked into this show in the first place. Especially after last year's third season made us forget.

    It's one thing to have heart, it's another thing to have soul.

    It's not easy to remember exactly which rich and pretty young lady is which on "The Gilded Age."HBO's costume drama, set in the height of American excess and splendor in the late 1800s, returns for its third season June 22 (9 ET/PT). And while there's still plenty of societal machinations, bustled gowns and upstairs/downstairs melodrama in the series, created by Julian Fellowes ("Downton Abbey"), it can all be a bit difficult to keep straight.

Just watched a screener so angering that it has become my villain origin story.
