***SPOILERS*** “Regent” Opens with Rhaenyra and Corlys mourning the loss of Princess Rhaenys. Meleys is paraded through King’s Landing as a traitor as the King’s wounds are tended to. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra’s Council remains unwieldy, worse with Rhaenys gone. Jacaerys wants to confront Daemon...

If you don’t understand what the hell is going on when you watch The Acolyte, don’t feel bad; the people writing it don’t seem to know either. In an interview with Nerdist about this week’s episode, “Choice,” showrunner Leslye Headland – the one who teamed up with her star to call Sta...

It’s become a bit trite to say that the making of a piece of entertainment, or some real-life story surrounding it, is more entertaining than the art itself, but The Acolyte almost demands it, especially after showrunner Leslye Headland’s latest howler. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about...
