Netflix has canceled two of its freshman drama series: “Partner Track” and “The Imperfects.”

“Partner Track” premiered in late August of this year, while “The Imperfects” came in early September. Both made appearances on the Netflix Top 10 and stayed there for three weeks, with the former peaking in the No. 4 position and the latter peaking at No. 3.

Based on Helen Wan’s 2013 novel of the same name, “Partner Track” was a legal drama starring Arden Cho as Ingrid Yun, a young lawyer caught between her moral compass and her passions as she climbs the partner track at an elite New York law firm.

Georgia Lee served as showrunner, and executive produced alongside Kristen Campo and writer Kim Shumway. Directors included Julie Anne Robinson, Tanya Wexler, Adam Brooks, Lily Mariye, Kevin Berlandi. Wan consulted.

“The Imperfects” followed Abbi Singh (Rhianna Jagpal), Juan Ruiz (Iñaki Godoy), and Tilda Weber (Morgan Taylor Campbell...

Netflix’s upcoming romantic dramedy series “Partner Track,” set at a Manhattan-based white-shoe law firm, has been described as “Sex and the City” meets “Suits,” but for star Arden Cho the series is unlike any other that she’s seen on television. That’s because the story centers on a first-generation Korean American merger and acquisitions lawyer, Ingrid Yun (Cho), as she navigates everything from forbidden romance to microaggressions at the male-dominated company — something Cho said is hard to come by in shows about single 20-something women in New York City.

“Ingrid just sticks out to begin with,” Cho told TheWrap. “She is an Asian American woman, and there is some diversity at the firm but it’s very clearly noted. You’ve just got, ‘Oh, we’ve got a couple of people of color. Let’s stick them together, and that’s your diversity,‘ which is something we see happening in the world.

“Teen Wolf” alum Arden Cho is learning to live a little in the trailer for the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy series, “Partner Track.”

The series, which is based on the novel of the same name by Helen Wan, follows Cho’s Ingrid Yun, a first generation Korean American and the first lawyer in her family, as she experiences the trials and tribulations of excelling at the prestigious (but old school) law firm, Parsons Valentine.

With the support of her friends, she battles through workplace challenges to break through the glass ceiling on her path to become partner. But will her drive and ambition leave room for love?

What do you do when a show proves that things only get so bad before they get even worse?

If all this led to the final message that The 100 is trying to portray, they finally accomplished it. It is very clear that this whole season was just proof that there is no hope left for humanity.

Because if these are the choices that The 100 wants to make in its final season, there is nothing left to fight for.

This journey was nothing more than impossible decisions and a tragic end to a story that many once loved.

During The 100 Season 7 Episode 15, everyone is divided as they try to deal with their own issues. Murphy, Raven, and Jackson find themselves fighting to find the Anomaly stone so they can save Emori's life.

Meanwhile, Clarke and Octavia try to get to Bardo to save Madi and stop Cadogan. Unfortunately, that doesn't end...

The 100 Season 7 is here!

Sadly, this will be the last outing for The 100. CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed during the network’s 2019 Summer TCA press tour appearance that The 100 season 7 will be the show’s final season, though it may live on in a prequel series.

As a midseason premiere, The 100 was one of the lucky shows to wrap up production before the Covid-19 hit, so we will be getting an entire season of the science fiction drama. Production on Season 7 started back up in August and wrapped in March, so the entire season is good to go, unlike some other CW productions that had to shut down production before the season finished.

Here’s our review of the latest episode, “Etherea.”

What’s next? “The Stranger.” Check out the promo below…

Here’s the synopsis…

“Clarke, Octavia, Raven and Echo struggle with a new foe.”

Here’s everything else...

Doing better has never felt more timely. 

With things heating up in the Anomaly, it is up to Sanctum to cool things down.

But the central message of The 100 keeps coming up as everything is happening, so you have to wonder if doing better is really in the cards anymore.

During The 100 Season 7 Episode 3, a reactor is overheating in Sanctum, and it is up to Raven to figure it out before everyone is killed. But she makes a choice from which she can't retreat, risking lives for the greater good and finding herself in a place she never thought she would be.

Meanwhile, Sheidheda is enjoying his new body and the havoc he can wreck by using those around him. He creates a fake assassination plot so that he can stay alive, and it all goes exactly as he planned.

Also, Gaia decides to reveal that there are no more Commanders,...

“Star Wars” actor John Boyega gave an impassioned speech at a Black Lives Matter rally in London on Wednesday, telling a crowd through tears that black lives “have always been important.” Boyega, who played Finn in the last three “Star Wars” movies, said near the end of his speech, “I don’t know if I’ll have a career after this,” but that he was speaking from his heart.

But A-list directors soon reached out on social media to say they supported the British actor.

As the video started to go viral, Matthew A. Cheery, the Oscar-winning director of “Hair Love,” offered his support and tweeted, “I would work with John Boyega and I urge other Non-Black creators to affirm that they have his back as well.”

Based on the myriad of creators and filmmakers who responded, Boyega’s career will be absolutely fine.

“Get Out” director Jordan Peele tweeted,...

It is all in the details, especially the ones that you don't see.

Or at least that's what the official The 100 Season 7 poster must want us to believe as it radiates mystery, nostalgia, and misdirection. 

Leading up to the premiere of the final season of the show, there isn't must fans do know for sure about where the storylines are heading.

But it is clear that wherever it is, it won't be what anyone expects. 

The poster for the last season was teased first by executive producer Kim Shumway earlier last week.

This serves as a supplement to the previously released full trailer for The 100 Season 7. 

But in a surprise twist of events, Apple TV had a new banner to release for the season too, which means fans have gotten twice as many hints at the new season through the posters.

So any hints that are hiding out in this poster,...

We may be running out new episodes of many of our favorite TV shows, but there is one piece of TV good news: The 100 Season 7 is almost here and, as it finished production just before the production shutdowns due to Covid-19, there’s no reason to believe we won’t be getting all of it. Gearing up for The 100 Season 7 launch on May 20th, The CW has released the episode titles and synopses for the first four episodes of the final season. Here’s what we know…

The 100 Season 7 premiere is titled “From The Ashes,” and is followed by “The Garden,” “False Gods” and “Hesperides.”

“From The Ashes” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. Et)

Season Premiere – Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and her friends attempt to rebuild Sanctum as a new threat rises in the woods. Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropuolos, Lindsey Morgan, Richard Harmon, Tasya Teles, Shannon Kook, Jr Bourne, Shelby Flannery and Chuku Modu also star.

Everything is a mess but it can only get better from here, right? Maybe. 

During The 100 Season 6 Episode 12, a war broke out in Sanctum while Russell rushed to make sure hosts existed for their missing Primes.  This results in Abby losing her life and becoming Simone for the time being. 

Meanwhile, Gabriel arrives in Sanctum and faces off against Russell. And the group gets broken up, with some of them ending up in space and the others fighting off the red sun toxin bomb on the ground.

"Adjustment Protocol," written by the returning Kim Shumway and the well-known Antonio Negret was a chaotic victim of the too many storylines in one episode problem. Emotional beats and storytelling twists came left and right, but the pace became almost too quick for the episode that gathers everything up for the finale.

There were those strong and impactful moments, yet the bigger picture...

Hey, "The 100" fans. We hope you guys enjoyed tonight's episode 11. Now that it has officially aired and is now just a footnote in time, it's time to see what the group will be up to in the next, new episode 12 that's due to air next week. Thanks to the lovely CW folks, we've got a press release that reveals a few teaser descriptions for episode 12. So, that is what we'll be using for this spoiler session. We're going to get things started with the title for this new episode 12. It's officially labeled, "Adjustment Protocol." It sounds like episode 12 will feature some pretty interesting scenes as a special day changes everything! Gabriel meets up with a friend from the past and more. We'll go ahead and start off this spoiler session with the special day situation. It turns out that there will be a very special day involved in this episode.

So in another life, Clarke Griffin, Bellamy Blake, and Monty Green would have binge-watched Stranger Things together. But in this life, those three are just out here saving lives and cracking codes.

Nobody else could have stood a chance.

During The 100 Season 6 Episode 7, Clarke sees some familiar people as she faces off against Josephine. They interact while Josephine is sleeping, with a common goal to access and protect a memory driving them both.

As Josephine explores Clarke's mind, our favorite lead gets the chance to learn more about Josephine as well. This leads to her figuring out a way to alert Bellamy that she isn't dead.

Bellamy picks up on that really quickly and enlists Miller to figure out next steps with no one else the wiser.

"Nevermind," written by the returning Kim Shumway took on the challenge of using a bottle episode to tell an even more character focused and contained story.

TV has a problem with the disproportionate number of lesbian and bisexual characters killed off on screen. Spoilers...

Contains spoilers for Buffy, The 100, Pretty Little Liars, Skins, Sleepy Hollow, Torchwood, ER, Carol and Last Tango In Halifax.

The phenomenon of lesbian and bisexual women characters being killed off disproportionately on screen is not new.

Back in the 1930s, the Hays Motion Picture Production Code established that “immoral acts” in Hollywood films had to be followed by appropriately punishing consequences, and this idea that “perversion” should never be rewarded spread to other modes of storytelling, to the extent that Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price Of Salt – recently adapted as the critically acclaimed movie Carol – was considered game-changing for including a happy ending for Carol and Therese.

Satisfying conclusions for romances between women shouldn’t still be a surprise, but when Carol was released in cinemas last winter,...

Recently, CW revealed the new,official synopsis/description for their upcoming "The 100" episode 3 of season 3. The episode is entitled, "Ye Who Enter Here," and it turns out that we're going to see some really drama-filled and high intense stuff take place as Clark has a real hard time with a very difficult decision. Bellamy starts to discover there may be some major deception going on, and more! In the new, 3rd episode press release: Clarke (Eliza Taylor) will end up wrestling with a decision. Bellamy (Bob Morley) is going to learn that something isn't what it seems. In the meantime, Murphy (Richard Harmon) is going to plot to betray his former Chancellor (Isaiah Washington). Paige Turco, Henry Ian Cusack, Marie Avgeropoulos, Devon Bostick, Lindsey Morgan, Chris Larkin and Ricky Whittle also star. Antonio Negret directed the episode, and it was written by Kim Shumway.

The 100, Season 2, Episode 14, “Bodyguard of Lies”

Written by Kim Shumway

Directed by Uta Briesewitz

Airs Wednesdays at 9pm (Et) on The CW

On this week’s The 100, Clarke and Lexa have a heated disagreement, Octavia discovers the truth about the missile attack, and Wick and Raven help Bellamy shut down the acid fog.

“Bodyguard of Lies” marks the beginning of the attack on the Mountain Men, but that isn’t why the episode is notable; instead, the most important moment of the episode is a kiss between Clarke and Lexa, two powerful and complex female characters (and leaders). The 100 is unafraid to push boundaries and to throw moral dilemmas at the audience and the show’s characters, but this episode reveals just how willing the show is to be revolutionary. Because, yes, having a bisexual female lead on television is a revolutionary move.

The scene, and the pair’s growing relationship,...
