After chumming it with her new bud, CW drops Madison on an island and leaves her there. She then takes over Madison’s influencer life through some clever technological shenanigans. When Madison’s…

When her indentured work contract is extended without her consent, she takes a risky…

I thought this was a documentary about Conan O’Brien’s life story. How wrong I was. David Dastmalachian is my favorite actor who is just barely memorable. I don’t mean that in a disparaging way. He’s really great, but there is something about him that is hard to remember. Maybe it is his hard-to-pronounce-and-or-spell last name. Maybe it is because he often plays smaller background…
