I know we all love to talk about the amazing queer representation in Good Omens, but can we also talk about that DISABILITY REP?

From this interview with Liz Carr who plays Saraquel.

Between One Chicago, Law & Order: SVU and Organized Crime, and FBI and FBI: Most Wanted, there's a lot of crossover potential, and the stars and showrunners weighed in on the possibilities.

I was able to speak to a number of the showrunners and stars of Dick Wolf TV shows over the past season, and they had some interesting things to say about future shared universe crossovers. 

One Chicago, Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Organized Crime, FBI, and FBI: Most Wanted all represented!

Wynonna Earp's Melanie Scrofano And Tim Rozon Talk The Show's Legacy, But Is There Hope For Season 5?

The Wynonna Earp and Doc Holliday stars opened up about the series ending... but does it really have to end?

In honor of tonight’s series finale of Wynonna Earp, I want to take a minute to talk about the show. I was very late to getting into the show as it aired live (as in, final season late), but what I found was a show that was funny and fantastical, as well as emotional and dramatic. 

And possibly more importantly for me, it felt like it was filmed from the female gaze more than pretty much any other genre show than Outlander, and portrayed the women as layered people rather than idealizing or demonizing them. 

Now, did I find a show that’s absolutely perfect? Definitely not, but I found myself truly enjoying the journey once I went back and started at the beginning (thanks, Netflix!), and if I hadn’t already known how invested I was in binge-watching, I certainly would have known when I was crying my way through the second half of the Season 2 finale! 

I watch a lot of TV for my job, so shows don’t always pack as much of an emotional punch as they would have ten years ago, but Wynonna Earp has absolutely worked on an emotional and character level, even if the plot got a little bit overly bonkers from time to time. 

I was late to board the Wynonna Earp train, but it sure was fun once I started, and hopefully the finale will deliver the happy endings that the characters deserve.
