Covert Affairs wraps up its third season tonight with one of its strongest hours yet. The show took a different creative tack this season, and I nearly quit watching it after Jai’s death, but after watching the finale, the payoff was worth the sometimes confusing storyline. The show moved away from the “villain of the week” procedural format this season, focusing …

Unfortunately they went to the well a bit too often in the season premiere. …

Boardwalk Empire is back for its third season on Sunday and to promote the upcoming season they partnered with Uber.com for a pretty cool promotion.

Using Uber’s unique on demand …
