Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from Tuesday’s episode of Found on NBC.
In any given year, more than half of those who are reported missing are people of color.
NBC’s latest missing persons procedural, Found, seeks to shed a light on this statistic through its case-of-the-week story format. Last week’s premiere introduced audiences to Shanola Hampton’s Gabi Moseley, a former missing person herself who now works round the clock to ensure no missing person slips through the cracks.
Her crisis management team includes several others who have close ties to missing persons cases, including Gabrielle Walsh’s Lacey Quinn — who was also abducted by the same man who kidnapped Gabi. What Lacey and the rest of the world don’t know is that her kidnapper, known as Sir (played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar), is no longer a threat. That’s because Gabi has found him and...

In 2003, Gabi Mosely (played by Shanola Hampton) was just a missing teen — alongside a newly abducted Bella (Jasmine Washington) — trying to escape their kidnapper Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). In the present day, she dedicates her life to finding the marginalized individuals who’ve slipped through the cracks.
Tuesday’s series premiere of the NBC drama Found kicked off with a grown-up Gabi using unorthodox methods to save a young boy who’d been taken. Pretending to be a damsel in distress, she convinced the perpetrator to let her into his warehouse before taking him down with one swing. She then offered...

I love the television procedural. It’s a stalwart of the medium, a type of storytelling that understands TV’s inherent episodic structure and fills it keenly. It’s comfort food of the sturdiest order. When a good chef prepares it, as they did in shows like “Homicide: Life on the Street,” “Law & Order,” “The X-Files” and “Poker Face,” it’s good for the gut, head and heart. And as our examples of “prestige television” lean more into ultra-serialization and movie-sized stories stretched into limited series, I yearn for the procedural’s self-contained taste.
I came into “Found” ready to love. But you can’t serve me burnt leftovers and expect me to compliment the chef.
The premise of the NBC drama is simple, as it should be. Gabi Mosely (Shanola Hampton) leads an independent team of crisis managers/investigators/vigilantes with an intently focused goal: finding missing people.

With film-related conversations being recently overtaken by Barbenheimer, spare a thought for the other films also released on the same day as the box-office dominating double bill. One film facing such difficulties was the feature debut from solo-director Juel Taylor, which was already fighting the uphill battle of being a Netflix Original. When They Cloned Tyrone is one of the year’s most fiercely original works, it is disheartening how it is doomed to be buried by a terrible algorithm which prioritises the latest works by transphobic comedians and the many acquisitions which sullied the term “Netflix Original.”
What has been crafted is best experienced knowing as little as possible, so all that can be shared about...

NBC has finally released its schedule for the 2023 to 2024 TV season, and this time around new series from Jon Cryer and Tom Hanks are leading the charge alongside network staples. NBC’s fall schedule will include three new scripted series as well as a new night of Big Ten Football.
“Lopez vs. Lopez” and “Law and Order: Organized Crime” will also officially be returning, though they’re not set to premiere until midseason. According to Jeff Bader, President of Entertainment Program Planning Strategy for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, “Organized Crime” is currently undergoing a showrunner change and does not currently have a showrunner. “It actually is best for the show to have some time to regroup, and it’ll come on as part of the Thursday lineup later in the season,” Bader told TheWrap.

NBC revealed its fall 2023-24 TV schedule on Friday ahead of its Monday upfront event. The broadcast channel’s lineup was in no way impacted by the WGA strike, NBCUniversal’s president of program planning Jeff Bader told IndieWire.
Bader said what he put out today is “the exact same schedule” that NBC would have unveiled if the WGA and AMPTP came to terms earlier this month. “The schedule was actually done before we knew whether or not the strike was going to happen,” he said during a telephone interview.
It helps that the schedule is, in Bader’s words, “very stable” with last year’s lineup. That will be NBC’s main talking point Monday when the network pushes its programming on advertisers and tries to ignore the Linda Yaccarino- and Jeff Shell-sized elephants in their Radio City Music Hall room.

‘Emperor’ Review: A Runaway Slave Joins the Raid on Harpers Ferry in Forgotten Tale of Black Heroism
As statues to Confederate heroes are torn down around the country, the question of whom to honor in their place poses an intriguing challenge — one that writer-director Mark Amin seems to have anticipated with his abolitionist adventure movie “Emperor.” Essentially a filmic monument to a scarcely documented American hero, “Emperor” tells the virtually unknown story of Shields Green, a descendant of African royalty who was born into slavery and later escaped, making it to freedom before risking his life in the attack on Harpers Ferry.
When history books speak of that famous raid, they tend to focus on John Brown, the white militant who planned the action hoping it would incite a slave uprising in the South — which gives an accurate but incomplete picture. “Emperor” re-centers the telling, broadening this early “white savior” story to include the Black men who joined the cause — or, in the case of Frederick Douglass,...
