Suits' is back and better than ever
The summer finale of USA Network's "Suits" left viewers wondering about the future of the Pearson-Hardman law firm, but the next block is back this month with more entertaining cases to solve and co-worker drama to discuss.
Keep Calm and Style On: Thank you, Anna
On a late Sunday evening in mid-January, I sat stranded between mounds of unsorted clothing and an empty suitcase. A year ago, if you had asked me what to wear to an internship interview, I would have grabbed a pair of modest black heels, my black Banana Republic suit and a colorful top - and then called myself a risk-taker. This was a new day, however, and with the peaceful sighs of my sleeping roommate as my nighttime soundtrack, I glanced hopelessly up at the temporarily retired suit ensemble.

What Your Favorite 'Girls' Character Says About You
Lena Dunham had quite the night on Jan. 13. Not only did the second season of "Girls" premiere on HBO, but she also won Golden Globes for Best Actress and Best Television Show for the program that she writes, stars in and often directs (that's what Charlie Sheen would refer to as #winning.)
Workaholics' Is Back
On Jan. 16, "Workaholics" returned to Comedy Central with "Booger Nights," a thoroughly enjoyable episode. This also meant the return of the new age, desk-jockey renditions of "The Three Stooges" - mainstays Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders "Ders" Holm.
The Return of 'Downton Abbey'
The third season of "Downton Abbey" premiered in the U.S. on January 6. We're now three episodes deep, including a two-hour opener. Speaking as a fan of the series, I am somewhat disappointed by the recycling of old storylines. The marriages and almost-marriages, impending collapse of the class system, breast-cancer scares and inclusion of a driver into the aristocracy's social gatherings are all new storylines, but they feel like they've been done before.

A new kind of musical with 'Les Misérables'
When it comes to adapting a musical for the big screen, there's little the director can tweak from the original source. "Les Misérables" is no exception, especially because of its status as one of the most adored musicals of all time. I've been a longtime fan of the play myself, and having the opportunity to see it on the big screen with such an incredible lineup of talent was enough to hook my interest.
