Here's How Daredevil: Born Again Set Up Next Week's ‘Very, Very, Very Violent' Season 1 Finale
The following contains spoilers from the April 8 episode of Disney+'s . Daredevil: Born Again this Tuesday night set the stage for the Marvel Television series' first season finale, and in dramatic fashion. More from TVLine Did the Hunting Party Finale Leave You Demanding a Renewal? Grade Season 1 of the NBC Drama The Hunting Party Sneak Peek: Eliza Coupe Is the 'Killer Chemist' at Center of Twisty Finale (Exclusive) The White Lotus Finale: Who Died? And Who Left Thailand Forever Changed? At the heart of this week's episode were critical junctures for two couples. Fisk brought wife Vanessa to his subterranean Red Hook hideaway, where he's been holding Adam prisoner. 'If I cannot be with you, I cannot be,' Wilson explained to his wife of slightly bad behavior. Adam begged to simply be set free, promising not to say anything, and though Vanessa eyeballed the key to his cell, she ended up turning a pistol on her ex-lover and firing multiple bullets into him, including a gnarly headshot for good measure. Matt and Heather meanwhile saw their relationship tested like never before by her POV on vigilantes (namely, painting Muse and Daredevil with the same brush), and by his speculation that she has Mayor Fisk for a client. Matt labored to explain to her that Fisk is a 'monster' using her to get to him, but he could only say so much without revealing his DD secret. Elsewhere, Poindexter mysteriously got moved from USH to gen pop — meaning, someone wants him dead. Probably Fisk. Matt took a meeting with Dex, to pressure the marksman into giving up who hired him to off Foggy. Dex said he needed to be 'on the outside' if he were to come clean, and not long after, he indeed had sneaked out of Riker's by using a bloody, broken tooth (!) as a projectile and later slipping into a guard's uniform. The tension-filled episode culminated at Fisk's inaugural Black & White ball, where the mayor in a private room leaned on well-heeled citizens like Jack Duquesne aka Swordman into funding his Red Hook project, and Heather (looking dy-no-mite!) wondered why Matt stood her up. When Matt eventually arrived, Heather accused him of being distant — and he 100% helped her case by focusing his attention on eavesdropping on Fisk. We saw Fisk deploy the AVTF's Powell to deal with a nosy reporter, and though Commissioner Gallo caught Powell jamming the guy's hand into a deep fryer, Powell shrugged off his former superior's righteous indignation. Irked, Gallo was all ears when BB Urich quietly invited him to use her private tip line to rat out the rats in the AVTF — because she secretly aims to take down the man who once was a suspect in her uncle murder. As the mayor and his wife Vanessa partook in the ceremonial first dance, the pieces came together for Matt. It wasn't Fisk who ordered the hit on Foggy, but the woman who was minding his criminal enterprise in his absence. Meaning, it was Vanessa who aimed to get Dex dead. And just as Matt nudged Heather to cut in with him on the mayor and first lady, Poindexter arrived at the ballroom balcony with rifle in hand. Whilst dancing, Matt confronted Vanessa, and Fisk seemed poised to tell Heather about her boyfriend's secret identity. But when Matt heard a rifle cock, he lunged in front of the mayor, taking the bullet. Pandemonium ensued, Fisk was rushed to safety, and Heather knelt beside a shot, bleeding Matt… Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, the directing team that was installed as part of Daredevil: Born Again's midseason 'creative overhaul,' and as such helmed this week's episode (as well as the premiere and the finale streaming April 15), spoke with TVLine about what viewers can expect from next week's Season 1 climax. 'There is a moment in the finale that is extraordinarily shocking on a practical effects level, and is very, very, very violent — but also, as filmmakers, incredibly exciting,' Benson effused. 'You'll know what I'm talking about [when you see it], and I can't wait for people to understand why there's a gleam in my eye [right now].' Added Benson's directing partner, Moorhead: '[The finale] is so brutally tragic…. A bonanza of bonkers visuals.'Best of TVLine Summer TV Calendar: Your Guide to 85+ Season and Series Premieres Classic Christmas Movies Guide: Where to Watch It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, Die Hard and Others What's New on Netflix in June

Did the Hunting Party Finale Leave You Demanding a Renewal? Grade Season 1 of the NBC Drama
The following contains spoilers from 's April 7 Season 1 finale. NBC's The Hunting Party closed out its 10-episode freshman run with a hunt for Jenna Wells aka 'The Killer Chemist' (which is not really the catchy nickname that the characters made it out to be). More from TVLine The Voice Recap: The Knockouts Put Three More Singers Down for the Count TVLine Asks: How Would You Schedule NBC's Fall Shows, With the NBA Set to Claim Tuesday Nights? The Hunting Party Sneak Peek: Eliza Coupe Is the 'Killer Chemist' at Center of Twisty Finale (Exclusive) Played by Happy Endings alum Eliza Coupe, Jenna was a 'zero empathy' Pit inmate who'd been given the maximum dose of James Whitmore's mysterious psychotropic cocktail. As a result, the onetime pharmacist basically developed a form of DID in which she truly believed she was her look-alike victims. Jenna targeted a cater waiter and then posed as her to infiltrate a posh event held at Whitmore Industries. There, she poisoned dozens of guests who toppled to the floor like a path of dominoes, but left Whitmore himself standing. When Bex, Shane and Jacob stormed the place, Whitmore wound up ordering his goons to draw their guns on the feds, so that he could take Jenna, his 'work of art,' for himself. A shootout followed, in which Jacob took a bullet to the torso. Whitmore wound up dying anyway — poisoned by a small 'patch' Jenna slaps onto the back of victims' necks — and Jenna got away. After Jacob was rushed to the hospital, Bex rang Morales to get the number for Jacob's wife, so that she could be updated. Morales sent Bex's jaw dropping to the floor with the fact that Hassani's wife had died — two years ago — and that is why he's been Stateside since. Jenna next targeted Bex, sneaking into the fed's motel room to snatch her phone, badge and gun (and a stock 'FBI' blazer for good measure), and dosing her wattle bottle before skedaddling. Coming out of the shower, Bex caught on and raced to the team's now-decommissioned base, where Jenna (now sporting soft Bex-y waves) was getting the drop on Odell. Along the way, Bex alerted Shane and told him to meet her there — but he was faced with a dilemma, when he learned that Dr. Dulles had come out of his coma and as such could maybe ID the voice of Shane's mom, seen/heard on one of those VHS tapes. At HQ, Jenna had Odell at gunpoint, ordering him to delete from the government mainframe all signs of her post-Pit existence. Bex, lurking in the shadows while waiting on backup, couldn't quite get a shot at Jenna, but someone did — Shane, who had chosen the team over learning about his mom. (Know who did get the 411 on Shane's mother, though? Morales, who used voice ID software to discover that the unseen woman was/is … Colonel Lazarus! Do we care?) Jenna was dead on the floor at HQ, but she had already dosed Odell with one of her trademark patches, causing him to gush blood from the nose and start to fade fast in a teary Bex's arms. Fearing the worst, Bex opened up about thinking often about him and their 'daughter' Sam…. What did you think about 's freshman finale, its curious Jacob reveal and the identity of Shane's mother? Are you clamoring for a Season 2, or are you actually kinda good?Best of TVLine Mrs. Maisel Flash-Forward List: All of Season 5's Futuristic Easter Eggs Yellowjackets Recap: The Morning After Yellowjackets Recap: The First Supper

Changing The Voice: The Quick Fix That Needs to Be Made Ahead of Season 28
As much as anyone, I know that we don't really want The Voice to change a whole lot. We nom nom on NBC's long-running sing-off like the comfort food that it is, over and over again picking our favorite contestants, only to as often as not watch them get eliminated before the winner is revealed. We're used to it, and, in a twisty way, we like being used to it. In uncertain times, it is a reassuring constant. But… And you bet there's a 'but.' That doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement. In Season 27, it hit me like a ton of bricks when country star Kelsea Ballerini joined the coaching panel. What the show needs is more personalities like hers. She's not only sharp and fun, she gives a s—t. More from TVLine The Hunting Party Sneak Peek: Eliza Coupe Is the 'Killer Chemist' at Center of Twisty Finale (Exclusive) Suits LA Pays Tribute to John Amos as Ted and Rick Try to Get Walk of Fame Star for Late Actor - Watch Video Is Grey's Anatomy's Baby-Faced New OB Just What the Doctor Ordered? That's not to say that veteran coaches Adam Levine and John Legend don't care, or that Michael Bublé in his second go-round doesn't. It just feels as if their enthusiasm has waned, whereas Ballerini… she's a bottle rocket in a red swivel chair. If she's faking her investment, she's the freakin' Meryl Streep of reality competitions. I 100-percent buy what she's selling. So who should join her on the coaching panel in Season 28 (assuming, and here's hoping, she returns)? Glad you asked. I actually have a few ideas about that. Keep scrolling and see if you agree with my picks. Obviously, pop's It girl would be the 'get' of the millennium for the show. Not only is she hugely popular, she's crazy charismatic, witty as hell and as down-to-earth as the pavement. And her addition to the coaching panel isn't entirely out of the question, considering that she's already appeared on the show as an adviser (to Usher in Season 4) and Mega Mentor (in Seasons 7 and 17). The rapper/singer on The Voice? To quote one of his own hits, that's what I want. The Grammy winner is funny and real, and his origin story has a lot more in common with that of most contestants than, say, Levine's. (His father founded the retail chain M.) Plus, Lil Nas X's presence on the panel might do what Chance the Rapper and Snoop Dogg's didn't, and give song selections a new flavor. It took the then-future Glinda a minute to get her bearings as a coach in Season 21. But once she relaxed into her role, I never wanted her to leave. She was adorable — or as Reba McEntire would put it, cute as a button. On top of that, the 'Dangerous Woman' singer's laser focus on technical excellence made her not just an exceedingly appealing red-chair newbie, one whose input was exceedingly valuable. My one concern? Did she care too much? Hilarious, irreverent and likely the smartest person in the room, no matter how massive the arena, the Grammy winner would make us, ahem, rush to the couch to watch him court and then coach wannabe hims on The Voice. And as far as I've seen, the 'One of Our Girls' singer is incapable of phoning it in. You could put a cell in his hand, and he still couldn't. He can't help but be present. With her star not only on the rise but meteorically on the rise, she's probably as long a shot to join The Voice as Grande is to return to it. But we'd be remiss if we didn't suggest her as an ideal coach, especially after bearing witness to the warmth, class and wisdom that she brought to bear in Season 27 as buddy Bublé's Battles adviser. Even if the show couldn't keep her for long, damn, it'd be great if it could have her at all!
