The Resident Photo Preview: Time is Running Out!

There is only one episode left until the season finale, and The Resident Season 1 Episode 13 looks like a good one!

Conrad and Devon are back to working together side-by-side trying to rescue a dying hero who has saved the lives of many. Her health is declining rapidly, and if the two of them don't figure it out fast, she may die.

Elsewhere, Mina and AJ are working together, and it's proving to be an unusual experience.

Nic's sister, Jessie, comes into the picture, but she'll find herself in a health crisis of her own. Nic is still looking into Lane, but she'll have to halt everything to tend to her sister. It won't mean Lane will stop, though.

If you missed any episodes or need to catch up before the season ends, you can watch The Resident online here via TV Fanatic.

Grey's Anatomy Promo: Jeremiah 29:11

It's almost finale time, and you know what that means in Shondaland: tears.

The season is winding down, and the penultimate hour may finally clue us into how April exits the series.

On Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 23, April will mysteriously end up seriously injured, and from the looks of it, Owen will be the one to find her in a ditch somewhere.

There is no telling how April ended up in this predicament. Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 22 showed April briefly having a lovely conversation with Jackson where he gave her money to put in a trust for Harriet.

The installment did give fans an indication as to how Arizona would exit the series. By the end of the hour, she contacted her ex-wife, Callie, and she informed her that Sofia would be moving back to New York City and that she would be accompanying her.

It appeared as though Arizona called it quits with Carina despite having strong feelings for her. She put her daughter first, and she can't bear the thought of not being with Sofia.

This also calls into question whether her slip-up during Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 20 where she referred to Carina by Callie's name while speaking to Maggie had some other motivations behind it.

Fans speculated that it meant Arizona was in love with Carina in the same way she was in love with Callie, but could it also mean she still has feelings for Callie?

With Arizona's decision to move to New York and a guest appearance by Dr. Herman (Geena Davis) approaching Arizona about an opportunity, it's safe to say that Arizona's departure is set in stone.

April's has been the one up in the air and has had fans speculating the most. Although, based on this promo, it may be one marked in tragedy.

April had a tough go of it recently, and she's had to overcome a lot and reacquaint herself with God and her faith. She has fought an uphill battle with one of the best arcs of the season.

It would be a travesty and downright unforgivable if the end of April's story is a tragic one.

The ripple effects of such a tragedy would impact the whole hospital. Owen appears distraught, Jackson is inconsolable, and Meredith is a complete and utter wreck.

Are you ready for April's goodbye?

If you'd like to refresh your memory on April's arc this season, you can watch Grey's Anatomy online here via TV Fanatic.

iZombie Round Table: Madame Mayor Peyton Charles!

Liv was on rapper brain, and all of New Seattle was on lockdown during iZombie Season 4 Episode 9.

TV Fanatics Stacy Glanzman, Lizzy Buczak, and Yana Grebenyuk discuss Isobel and Ravi's potential cure, Fillmore Graves potentially turning on Chase and much more.

Don't forget to join the discussion below!

What would you rate this episode and why?

Stacy: I'd give it a B. It was funny, but it wasn't one of my favorites. I enjoyed Liv on rapper brain and the D&D game, but I'm just mostly sick of Blaine, and Major is not my favorite person right now.

Lizzy: I'd give it a C+. I was excited to see Liv on rapper brain, but unfortunately, the brain didn't kick like the others have. They could have done so much more with her "gangster" persona.

Yana: I would give it a C because almost none of it felt necessary besides moving the cure and Blaine story alone.

Rapper Delight - iZombie Season 4 Episode 9

Blaine killed the mayor and now Peyton is acting mayor. React.

Stacy: I like what they're doing with Peyton's character, and that they are giving her a bigger role. It'll be an interesting dynamic to see her as acting mayor and secretly part of Liv's organization.

Lizzy: I did NOT see that coming. Aly Michalka is so talented, so I'm glad she'll have more of an opportunity to shine. However, in terms of the character, this is straight up punishment.

Could you imagine having to rule New Seattle with an impending brain shortage and FG calling the shots? Count me out! Also, did Blaine do it on purpose? Did he know this would be the outcome?

Yana: I am a fan of what this means for Peyton's character and storyline moving forward but that is about it.

Watch iZombie Season 4 Episode 9 Online

Do you think the other Fillmore Graves soldiers are planning a coup to get rid of Chase?

Stacy: I wouldn't put it past them, but Major will probably find a way to stop it. Chase is a complicated character, but I hate that Major pretty much does whatever he says without question. He's turned into such a "yes man," that I wouldn't mind if Chase was gone just so we could get Major back.

Lizzy: I could see that happening and Major being his only ally. I know why the humans hate him, but I don't really know why the soldiers do. Did I miss something?

Yana: I didn't even think about that, but Chase is really making it difficult for them not to at this point. Especially with the way he is focused on Major and shows it to the other soldiers, that is never a good move.

Ravi's New Project - iZombie Season 4 Episode 9

Now that Ravi knows about Isobel and plans on studying her, how do you think this will play out?

Stacy: This was my favorite development. I'm so glad that Ravi knows everything now, and of course, he's on board. I don't know how much time Isobel has left, but I think Ravi could potentially develop a vaccine. I'm just worried that someone will discover her and kill her before he has a chance.

Lizzy: This is the closest they've come to finding the cure, so it's promising. Blaine will pose a problem, though, since he's realizing that Ravi is eating brains but also sleeping with Peyton. Isobel's involvement will probably allow everyone to make the "Liv is Renegade" connection faster.

Yana: Is it strange if I am hopeful for it to turn out well? I like Isobel, and I want her to be able to help, but I also would love for her to just stay alive after all this.

What was your favorite moment and/or quote?

Stacy: I loved everything about the D&D game. Foxy Brown of Shondaland is such a great character name.

Lizzy: Clive playing D&D! He's finally succumbed to the "nerd" life. In fact, seeing all three of them -- Ravi, Clive, and Major -- playing together was adorable. And Clive's slip up with Michelle? About time! What does this mean for his relationship with Dale?!

Yana: Ravi meeting Isobel was kind of hilarious.

The Resident Promo: Can Lane Be Stopped?!

Lane has proven to be a formidable foe.

She has her hands in all aspects of Chastain now that she helped Bell finagle his way to the top as CEO.

With Bell in the palm of her hand, she has more power than she ever had before.

We discovered that Lane has a heck of a lot of reach in multiple communities from the medical board to shady lurkers who stalk and harass. She sent someone after Nic to intimidate her, and it's working.

It hasn't stopped Nic from digging deeper.

On The Resident Season 1 Episode 13, Nic will keep trudging forward in her investigation into Lane despite the dark turns it has taken. Unfortunately, Lane is a couple of steps ahead of her again as it appears Lane will set her up, and Nic may end up in jail.

Lane promised she would destroy Nic if she didn't leave well enough alone, and she makes good on her promises.

She also isn't above toying with Nic.

When Nic's sister, Jessie, is rushed to the ER, Lane will offer her help. The last person Nic cared about who was "helped" by Lane ended up dead.

Elsewhere, Devon and Conrad will work tirelessly to save the life of a woman whose health is quickly deteriorating as a result of some unknown reasons.

AJ Austin starts his first day at Chastain as a practicing physician, and he's rubbing a few people the wrong day including some familiar patients.

The season is winding down, so you may want to catch up. If you need to, you can watch The Resident online here via TV Fanatic.

Grey's Anatomy Round Table: Nurse Olivia's Obnoxious Return!

Grey's Anatomy has been taking on many current issues this season.

Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 21 was no exception with its topical take on the #MeToo movement.

A familiar face also dropped in to stir up some trouble, and Meredith and Jackson came together to help Catherine resolve the scandal.

Join TV Fanatics Paul Dailly, Stacy Glanzman, and Jasmine Blue as they discuss the hour.

What would you grade the execution and resolution of the #MeToo storyline?

Paul: I think it was a timely storyline that was executed very well. I would grade it A. If any show was going to tackle #MeToo, it was going to be Grey's Anatomy.

Stacy: I would give it a B, only because they wrapped it up too early. I was expecting it to have longer last ramifications, at least through the end of the season. It was a good resolution, but it felt too easy.

Jasmine: I would give it a B. I'm guessing it will still sort of linger until the season's end. It did feel easy, though. Overall, I liked it.

Should Catherine have been punished for her role in covering up the truth for so long?

Paul: I'm on the fence, but leaning more towards her being punished. I get that she was keeping it all hush because of the Harper Avery name, but she silenced all of these women ... only for her to have the new one named after her.

Stacy: Yeah, I agree. She stayed silent for too long, and while I don't know if she should necessarily be punished per se, she definitely shouldn't have the new award named after her. The fact that she even kept it from Jackson makes it even worse.

Jasmine: I hate that she kept it from Jackson. That irritated the heck out of me. I understood her reasoning for keeping quiet decades ago. I guess after so many years, she felt her hands were tied, and she couldn't tell the truth. It was an unusual position that she was in, and it's difficult to not feel a certain way about her involvement.

The same goes for Ellis who likely knew why Maria couldn't be listed on their research and opted to remove her name instead. It's complicated, and I don't know if I could have done what Catherine did, but I don't know if she deserves to be punished.

Do you feel Amelia is ready to be a sponsor to Betty? What are your thoughts about both of them moving in with Owen?

Paul: I loved this storyline. Amelia has been so much more interesting as of late, and I think it all started with her having the tumor removed. Them moving in with Owen was the icing on the cake. I'm all for messy dysfunctional families.

Stacy: I was upset when Netflix canceled "Everything Sucks," but I was happy to see one of its stars, Peyton Kennedy appear on Grey's. I liked her, and I think Amelia as her sponsor could make for an interesting story. I don't really love the idea of them moving in with Owen, but as long as things stay platonic between Amelia and him, it might be okay.

Jasmine: Yeah, Amelia's tumor removal was like a well-needed personality transplant. I love this storyline, and I love Betty. There is so much potential here. I don't mind them moving in with Owen, but I would prefer it if it remains platonic.

Amelia the Sponsor - Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 21

Did you enjoy Nurse Olivia's return? Was she too hard on Alex?

Paul: It's great that we got to check in with someone who was part of the show's earlier days, but I do think she was too hard on Alex. It was evident she was not the same woman she was all of those years ago, so it was a bit much for her to call out Alex every scene.

Stacy: I did not enjoy it all. Not only was she too hard on Alex, she had this whole "holier than thou" attitude about it.

As Paul said, she's not the same person she was back then, why would she expect him to be? Besides that, while Alex did give her syphilis, let's not forget she then went and gave it to George, so it's not like she was being any more careful than he was.

Jasmine: I didn't enjoy it either. Olivia was obnoxious, and ironically on an episode about sexual harassment and all of that, she proceeded to do just that with Alex by flaunting their sexual history around and telling anyone who listened that he gave her syphilis. It was ignorant, petty, and juvenile.

Are you surprised that Roy is going after the hospital for wrongful termination?

Paul: Nope. He disappeared way too easily after being fired. He was always going to come back for some revenge.

Stacy: I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed by it. It's another contrived story like the whole "fight" between Maggie and Jackson. I am not all looking forward to watching this. It's just dumb. He knew he was under the influence and chose to lie about it and put others at risk when none of the other doctors in the same situation did. Hopefully, it's over with quickly and he can be on his way.

Jasmine: I'm with Stacy. It is contrived, and I hope it doesn't take long to resolve. At best, he and the hospital are found negligent because they accidentally drugged him, but he lied about it and risked patients.

On the other hand, he could argue his judgment was impaired because of the drugs. This could go in so many directions, but I'm wondering if his sexual relationship with April will come up. He was the jackass intern from the interviews, so I guess I should have expected this.

What was your favorite part of the hour? What was your least favorite?

Paul: Amelia taking Betty for some food to get all the details from her was a highlight, while Vik's return was just annoying.

Stacy: I agree. I enjoyed see Amelia as a mentor and taking Betty under her wing. I'm also looking forward to seeing what happened to Alex's mom.

Jasmine: Jackson and Meredith are one of my favorite underrated Grey's friendships of all time, so I loved that they were paired up for the entire episode. I also loved Amelia and Betty bonding.

Grey's Anatomy Promo: Are You Ready to Meet Alex's Mother?!

Alex Karev is one of the show's original characters, but when it comes to his past and childhood, we know very little about him.

On Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 22, we'll find out more about Alex's mother.

The little we know of her is that she suffered from mental illness, and Alex was forced to take care of his siblings until he couldn't bring himself to do it any longer. Alex went to medical school, and he left his family behind him.

A couple of family members popped up over the years, but the show never gave us a heartfelt reunion and a storyline that delved deep into his past.

On Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 21, Alex realized that the money he was sending to his mother was never claimed, He and Jo will hit the road in hopes of tracking her down.

Elsewhere, the effects of the Harper Avery scandal are far from over.

Meredith will come face to face with Marie Cerone since finding out that she was one of the women destroyed by Harper Avery.

In light of the new information, will she make up with the woman she formerly referred to as "Aunt" Marie?

The sex scandal isn't the only case the hospital is juggling.

They have to deal with Vik Roy's wrongful termination accusations as well. He's taking the hospital to task for their role in his accidental consumption of marijuana.

Although there is probably more he will make reference to during the meeting with the hospital. His sexual history with April was problematic as well.

Bailey and Webber show restraint during their sit down with Roy and his attorney.

Jesse Williams will make his directorial debut in "Fight For Your Mind." Check out the promo below.

The Resident: 19 Reasons Why You Should Watch It!

The first season of The Resident is almost over, but there is still plenty of time to catch up on this series!

The Resident has garnered a devoted fan base, plenty of discourse, and some ire as a result of its subject matter. The series takes on all aspects of the American Healthcare, and it's not always pretty.

Check out our list of reasons why you should give the series a chance.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can watch The Resident online here via TV Fanatic. Then you can check out our The Resident Reviews and give us your take on the series in the lively comment section.

1. Matt Czuchry's Impressive Performance

The most notable roles on Matt Czuchry's résumé are as Logan on Gilmore Girls and Cary Agos on The Good Wife. On both shows, he put forth memorable performances and won over fans with his talent. Conrad Hawkins is arguably his best role to date. After years of supportive roles, Czuchry finally stepped into his rightful place as the star of his own series. It was long over-due.

Conrad Hawkins is rough around the edges character who is brilliant but flawed. He's a layered individual, arrogant but compassionate, honorable but ornery, and closed off while simultaneously wearing his heart on his sleeve. Czuchry captures the contradictory and complex nature of this character with such nuance and finesse. It's some of his best work and worthy of a view.

2. It's Brutally Honest about American Healthcare

Medical dramas are a dime a dozen. Audiences adore them. However, most series fail to capture the growing sense of disillusionment Americans have towards the healthcare system. It's a hot-button issue that is at the forefront of social movements and politics. It's a system not without flaws and pitfalls. The Resident is not only a compelling medical drama that wades into territory other series dare not enter, but it's a crusade that gives voice to the unheard who fall through the cracks of a broken system.

The series takes a novel albeit controversial approach by exploring the business and financial aspects of healthcare and how they trickle down to the patient. The series has taken on upcoding, patient dumping, incentivized treatment, the alarming medical error rate and much more. It's controversial, and it makes people uncomfortable, but it's honest. The Resident unapologetically tackles the less pretty sides of an intricate system, and that separates it from the pack.

3. Devon Pravesh – The Importance of Manish Dayal's Quietly Profound Performance and Representation

Asian/Southeast Asian doctors are number one of minorities and the second largest ethnic group of American doctors. They make up about 20% of the field, but that's rarely reflected in medical shows, including those who pride themselves on having a diverse cast. Devon Pravesh as the star of a primetime medical drama is an accomplishment. Devon's race factors into the show, but it's not the only important aspect of his character. He's a doctor who happens to be of Indian descent, but he's not " the Indian doctor."

The show understands the importance of his racial identity, but they don't use it as his primary storyline. The series also avoids some of the problematic depictions of Southeast Asians. Devon is smart, capable, introspective, kind, intuitive, handsome, and he's shown as the object of desire. Manish Dayal's performance is the most understated of the series. He consistently puts out a fantastic performance with each installment, and Devon's growth throughout the series is heartening.

4. Moral and Ethical Quandaries

The series not only focuses on the darker parts of the healthcare system but it explores the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise. What's right isn't always legal. What's legal isn't always what is moral. What's ethical isn't always what is right. The exploration of all of this is what makes the storytelling so rich.

5. Mina Okafor

Dr. Mina Okafor is one of the best characters in the series. That's not an opinion; that's a fact. She's a brilliant, badass surgical resident with the gifted hands of a goddess. She's confident to the point of arrogant, but as her attending once said: "she has every right to be." She's straightforward and blunt at any given time, including when she's making death notifications.

Mina is the best doctor on the series, and the others don't hesitate to acknowledge that. She is admittedly better with technology than she is with people, but that's part of her charm. Her deadpan humor has led to some of the funniest quotes of the series thus far. She's loyal, focused, and she typically tries to stay out of all of the hospital politics, but she cares about her patients, and like Conrad, she's not above cutting corners to treat them.

6. The Medical Dream Team

Conrad, Devon, and Nic are a trio who gets sh!t done. If you think these characters kick butt individually, you should see what happens when they work together. They are an unstoppable force, and they have learned over the season how to aide one another for the greater good. They all share a quality of wanting to do what's best for their patients, no matter the cost, thus they're bonded by their willingness to break a few rules.

iZombie Round Table: Will Isobel's be the Key to the Brain Shortage?!

Isobel's zombie immunity is a game-changer.

The final moments of iZombie Season 4 Episode 8 may drastically impact the rest of the season. We couldn't be happier about that.

Unfortunately, there is trouble in paradise for one of the 'ships, and it may be time for them to call it quits. Also, the always lovable Major has become less so over the course of the season, and our roundtable is none too pleased about it.

Join TV Fanatics Lizzy Buczak, Stacy Glanzman, and Jasmine Blu as they discuss that shocking cliffhanger and much more!

Isobel is immune to the zombie scratch. What do you think that means, and how will it affect the remainder of the season?

Lizzy: Well, it's an unexpected but intriguing development in the story. It not only affects Liv's smuggling operation but all the new and existing zombies in New Seattle.

It means there's a chance Ravi will be able to develop some kind of cure or vaccine that can turn zombies back into humans. That would save Chase Graves plenty of headaches considering the impending brain shortage.

This could also be a segway to another storyline -- the jacking up of prices on necessary medicine so that only the rich would be able to afford it. I can see Liv's operation flourishing as she creates new zombies and helps the underprivileged get their hands on vaccines.

Stacy: I'm very intrigued by this development. One, I'm sad for her, because Liv wasn't able to save her. But, more than that, if they can figure out what makes her immune and replicate it, they could develop a vaccine.

It would certainly help the zombie overpopulation problem by preventing the accidental turning of people into zombies, but there are still those out there like Isobel who want to be turned. They'll probably want to protect Isobel by keeping her a secret from Fillmore Graves, but I could see Liv bringing Ravi into the operation.

Jasmine: I also was intrigued by this development. If they can figure out what it is about Isobel that causes immunity, they can curve their zombie overpopulation issue and maybe find another way of making a cure for the masses.

View Slideshow: iZombie Photos from "Chivalry is Dead"

Does it strike you as odd that we haven't seen Ravi nor any Fillmore Graves scientists working on a cure, vaccination, or brain alternative?

Lizzy: Yes! We only saw Ravi taking notes during his "time of the month," but why isn't he actively working to find a cure that works full-time? Given the brain shortage crisis looming over them, you'd think Chase would be a bit more pro-active.

Stacy: Well, Ravi was working on one, hence his whole "time of the month" situation, but yeah it does seem odd we haven't seen it recently.

It would make sense if Fillmore Graves had a whole department of people working on it, and for all we know they do, but it is weird we haven't seen it. That might change now that Isobel's immunity has been introduced.

Jasmine: Yes. They've barely touched on any of Ravi's part in working on something since the premiere. I'm sure he is working on it, but we don't see it. Also, it's possible that they haven't shown FG scientists yet, but if it's all hands on deck in an attempt to fix the brain shortage, we should have seen something by now.

Watch iZombie Season 4 Episode 8 Online

Peyton joined Liv in the human smuggling business, and she may be on Mr. Boss' radar after stealing that money. Any thoughts?

Lizzy: Their paths are intertwining again, and it is intriguing. Since Boss teamed up with Blaine who ate Casper's brain, it's only a matter of time before he gets a vision and sees Peyton's conversation with him. But will he sell her out? He obviously still cares about her.

It's a clever way to bring back these exes just as she was moving on with Ravi. It also threatens Liv's operation since they'll realize what she's up to in no time.

Stacy: I love that Peyton joined Liv's operation.

She wanted to help before but was limited by how much she could do. Now she has a chance to take risks and make a difference, which also makes her more interesting. When Liv made that comment about being low on funds, she was underestimating how far Peyton would take it. They make a great team.

Jasmine: I love that Peyton has joined Liv because it ties her into the main plot, and as Stacy said, it makes her more interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by this development. And yeah, I fully anticipate some Blaine and Peyton action because he will find out about her involvement. There's no getting around that.

How do you feel about Major's arc so far this season?

Lizzy: It's pretty bland. He is supposed to be playing Russell, but part of me thinks he's enjoying it. And he's being put in danger since Russell is catching on.

It was teased that he was supposed to be struggling with his morality and the choices Fillmore Graves is asking him to make, but he's just mindlessly following along.

Stacy: I don't like it. I feel like he's on the wrong side, and it's not really true to his character. He's changed a lot from the guy who was protecting at-risk kids on the street and refusing to kill zombies he was sent to kill. I'm not a fan of this Major.

Jasmine: Yup. I completely agree with the others. I'm not a fan of the Major that we have been seeing. He's playing along with Russell, but it does appear as though he likes it.

He has strayed away from the Major that we know. Even when I understand some of his reasoning and motives, I have still been put off with Major for most of the season.

Do you find Clive and Dale's relationship woes interesting? Should they just break up?

Lizzy: When it was first introduced, the storyline had the potential to really showcase how the virus was affecting zombie and human relations. But it seems the writers have hit a wall, and there's not much progress besides rehashing the same situation over and over.

It's pointless, and for their own sake, they either need to let go or accept the situation. Personally, I'm indifferent about their relationship since I don't feel any passion between them and think he deserves to experience real love.

Stacy: Not really. I'm not invested in their relationship, and it wouldn't bother me at all if they broke up. It probably would be for the best.

Jasmine: Gee, Lizzy! Tell us how you really feel. I wanted to root for these two so badly, and I was looking forward to a thorough storyline about the human-zombie relationship obstacles. Instead, it's been a neverending loop that has yet to reach its full potential.

I'm not a fan of the emotionally manipulative way Dale has handled Clive and their open-relationship, and at this point, they probably should call it quits. Clive is too precious of a character to not be happy in his love life.

What's your favorite quote or scene from the hour?

Lizzy: Ravi's pure joy at watching Liv on the Brain of the Week especially her victory over the closet rodent.

Stacy: The reveal of Isobel being immune was the highlight for me. It's a game-changer. Also, it was funny when she asked Liv if all zombies talk like that.

Jasmine: The Isobel reveal made the entire episode. I loved it.
