A series finale is both scary and special at the same time. Fans dedicate years of their lives loving a story and it can all go up into flames within an instant.

TV and music just go hand-in-hand so beautifully. Nancy Drew and Ace (Hardy) from The CW’s “Nancy Drew” and Taylor Swift are no exception! Here’s a full list of all the lyrics that reminded me of their love story in season three.

There’s nothing I love more than comparing my favorite fictional ships to Taylor Swift songs. Nancy Drew and Ace (Hardy) from The CW’s “Nancy Drew” is just the perfect relationship to be told by her *chef’s kiss.

You know that feeling when you’re walking down the street and you see your favorite artist’s name up in lights on a marquee sign — big bold letters in the sky and they exist for you to witness in real time?

2022 marked the year where I was either all in or feeling nothing in regards to television shows. I got to see the return of so many of my favorite things. More episodes started coming out on a weekly basis. “Stranger Things” and “Vampire Academy” came back. The world of Westeros arrived on my screen again. Another Sally Rooney adaptation made me fall into a 2014-esque angst spiral. Let’s also give a hand for more Addams family content.

All hail the queen. Teresa Mendoza’s reign was long, but her legacy is everlasting. The “Queen of the South” aired its series finale “El Final” Wednesday, June 9, on USA Network, and while some characters went out with a bang, others walked out peacefully with their happy endings.

The “Queen of the South” characters got a closer look into the minds and hearts of their loved ones in the latest episode. While some managed to grow closer because of it, others weren’t so lucky.

Familiar faces, the classic bullet wound, a shootout and the age old trap set by enemies played out in USA Network’s “Queen of the South” final season premiere. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Everything I loved about this show returned with season five Wednesday, April 7, and I’m so thankful.

Shoot outs, escaping from enemies, sacrificial deals, drug cartels, family and the occasional romantic love interest have all been part of USA Network’s “Queen of the South” since it premiered June 23, 2016. However, this story about Teresa Mendoza rising through the cartel ranks to create her own powerful international drug empire is about way more than those things.
