Last year’s Golden Globe winner for Best TV Drama, Mr. Robot was rightly hailed as one of the most original new series on television.

Despite the rain, the 56th Monte-Carlo Television Festival finished in glitter and glamour with the presence of many celebrities of the small screen such as Golden Globe nominee Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) or Marcia Gay Harden (Black Code) and Golden Globe winner Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent).  For over a half-century the festival has focused exclusively on television, with screenings, panels and q&a sessions, many if them open to the public.

As television entertainment claims an ever more prominent global role, producing the kind of character-driven storylines that film studios have largely abandoned in favor of tentpole movies, festivals devoted to the medium are also becoming more prominent. HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Festival’s Honorary President, and HSH Princess Charlene officially opened the 56th Monte-Carlo Television Festival at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on June 12th 2016.

Like his movie of the same title, Steven Soderbergh’s series for Starz, The Girlfriend Experience, pushes the emotional envelope with its portrayal of a seemingly amoral call girl. Riley Keogh portrays Christine a law student who casually falls into extracurricular work for an agency that provides high-class girls to high-powered clients.

The upcoming Baywatch movie, starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zack Efron, currently shooting on Tybee Island, Savannah, Georgia, where the HFPA recently interviewed the cast, is a reboot of the former TV series made famous by David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. David Hasselhoff, 63, primarily known for his leading roles in the TV series Knight Rider (from 1975 to 1982) and Baywatch (from 1990 to 2001), has also joined the ranks of the headliner of such shows as The Simple Life, Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, Keeping up with the Kardashians and, of course, I Am Cait.

Among all the trials and tribulations in Game of Thrones none perhaps have been as heart wrenching as the events that have befallen the House of Stark. As Season 6 begins (to the agonizing relief of fans worldwide), the remaining siblings of the once powerful rulers of Winterfell are scattered in the far reaches of Westeros.

As we all know by now, Winter Is Coming … and we can’t wait. As showrunners David Benioff and D.

Yes, and so is Season 6 of Game of Thrones, possibly the most anticipated return of one the biggest shows on TV, on account of the shocking (what else is new…?) cliffhangers we were left with at the end of Season 5. And the urgency is heightened since showrunners David Benioff and D.

“I suspect when we come back we'll be in the middle of a presidential election”, Kevin Spacey told us back in November. The cameras were still rolling back then on Season Four of House of Cards as a group of HFPA journalists visited the usually closed set.
