MobLand: Who Should Run the Show in a Potential Season 2?
Paramount+ hasn't yet renewed MobLand for a second season. But as Tom Hardy's Harry proved time and again in the show's inaugural run, it helps to stay a few steps ahead of the game. More from TVLine MobLand Finale Recap: The Harrigan Rat, Revealed! Plus: Grade the Episode Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene Criminal Minds: A.J. Cook Opens Up About JJ's Loss, Her Real-Life Sons Playing 'Big Emotions,' and Negotiating That Brief Cameo So with that in mind, we've pulled together a little power ranking ahead of a potential Season 2. Season 1 wrapped Sunday with an episode that revealed the identity of the family's mole (R.I.P., lawyer O'Hara!), put a permanent end to the family's biggest competitor (R.I.P., Richie Stevenson!) and outed Conrad as Eddie's biological father (R.I.P., Kevin's sense of loyalty!). By the end, both Maeve and Conrad were behind bars — though eyeing a speedy release — and Kevin had declared himself the new head of the family. In case you missed the finale, you can read a full recap here. Below, scroll through the Harrigan (and Harrigan-adjacent) characters who were not offed during the show's first season; our choice for Season 2 boss is at the very bottom. Scroll through, then hit the comments with the character you'd pick and why! We feel for Jan and Harry's teen daughter, whose schooling and social life was uprooted thanks to her father's choice of profession. But snogging Eddie Harrigan shows an exceptional lack of common sense. And after all, she's just a kid! Her inclusion on this list is merely academic: She's not in the running to take anything over (except maybe her GCSE Psychology exam). Much like his daughter, Harry's wife never signed up for a life steeped in danger and crime, and likely has zero designs on getting in deeper than she currently is. She's not exactly cut out for the secrecy and isolation (see also: Alice), though — as the final moments of the season finale and Harry's bloody pec showed us — she's not above a little violence, unintentional though it was. Tattersall is a highly intelligent, if incredibly dirty, cop who rode the Stevenson gravy train to its final stop. Now that Richie's dead, who's to say that Tattersall won't ingratiate himself into the Harrigan organization in Season 2? And once inside, whose to say he couldn't mastermind a takeover of his own? A lot of characters, his wife included, spent Season 1 talking about how Conrad Harrigan is no longer the man he once was. And maybe that's true: His behavior was erratic at best all season, and his temper tantrums tended to end in body counts. Plus, does the guy have a blind spot for Maeve or what? Still, we wouldn't count Pierce Brosnan's character out in Season 2: The man that had his entire cell block cheering for him at the end of the finale has still got a lot of juice left in his lemon. He's so rich that very little has meaning, and he's so violent that committing murder at his grandmother's behest didn't faze him a bit. Now that he knows he's been lied to about his parentage for his entire life? We easily could see Conrad's grandson — er, son — funneling all of his aggression into a play to head the family… backed, of course, by his twisted, doting Nan. Let's call a spade a spade: Maeve pretty much ran the Harrigan family for the entirety of Season 1. Who had Eddie kill Tommy? Who encouraged Conrad to kill Archie? Who was behind Vron's explosive death? Who wasn't afraid to put her own son in danger in order to exterminate Seraphina? The answer to all of these questions is the brassy broad who belted 'Twenty Men From Dublin' even as police were taking her into custody. Maeve has the smarts and the cunning to assume control of the family business — but more importantly, she's got the do-anything swagger/borderline psychotic nature necessary for the job. Before the Season 1 finale, we probably would've cast a vote for Kevin to take the top spot: He seemed the most even-keeled of the Harrigan children, and his conscience also seemed the most intact. We… wouldn't cast that vote now. Kevin is clearly having a delayed (though highly warranted) reaction to the rape and trauma he experienced as a much younger man, and that stew of emotion seems to be guiding every choice he's making — including out-and-out threatening his father's seat of power in the family. Did we love seeing Kev stand up to his lecherous old man? We did. Do we think it bodes well for him once Conrad is no longer behind bars? No, no we do not. Harry's hired henchwoman is street-smart, efficient and effective. She knows her role and does it well. While it would be a huge jump to Harrigan CEO, we could easily see her slipping into Harry's position if/when he ever ascends within the organization. As Pierce Brosnan told us earlier in the season, Harry 'is my son, in some regards,' and the Harrigan family fixer would be Conrad's pick if the old man was pressed to choose a successor. Can you blame him? Harry is smart, discreet, tough, strategic and incredibly loyal — even when it puts the lives of his family in danger, as it did during that season-ending conversation with Kat. Perhaps Harry's best attribute? He's not a shoot-first-think-later hothead, as so many of the Harrigans are, which instantly puts him well ahead of the competition. Conrad's love child got herself into a spot of bother with that whole Antwerp debacle, which was borne of the probably-not-wise choice to go into business with her feckless brother, Brendan. But aside from that, we love that she seems to have her father's killer instinct but very little of the family loyalty that so often proves a weakness. Take that conversation with Kat in the season finale, for instance: Boss move! While we agree with Brosnan that Harry likely will wind up running the Harrigan empire, we wouldn't mind watching Seraphina take it for a spin in Season 2.

Filming on Criminal Minds Season 19 Has Begun: Who Is Definitely Back?
'The BAU is back on the case,' the Criminal Minds Instagram announced on Friday afternoon, along with a BTS photo signaling that filming on Season 19 has begun. The news comes almost midway through Season 18, which is dropping new episodes every Thursday on Paramount+. (Season 19 was greenlit back on March 5, more than two months ahead of the current season's premiere.) More from TVLine Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene Criminal Minds: A.J. Cook Opens Up About JJ's Loss, Her Real-Life Sons Playing 'Big Emotions,' and Negotiating That Brief Cameo All Stars 10 Is the Best Drag Race Season in Years - and It's About to Get Even Better (Exclusive Sneak Peek) 'The BAU is back on the case!' the crime drama's IG trumpets. 'A new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution has officially started filming.' To look at the clapboard photo above, Joe Mantegna, Aisha Tyler, Kirsten Vangsness, Adam Rodriguez, A.J. Cook, Paget Brewster and Ryan-James Hatanaka will be back as series regulars for next season — meaning, David, Tara, Penelope, JJ, Emily and Tyler all are safe to buy some green bananas. Might the slippery Sicarius aka Elias Voit (played by Zach Gilford) make it out of this season alive, to taunt the BAU for a fourth straight time? That remains TBD. Season 18 of Criminal Minds: Evolution kicked off on May 8 and picked up six months after prisoners attacked the notorious Sicarius, leading the serial killer's restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this group from killing more innocents, the BAU has been forced to work alongside an increasingly unpredictable — and seemingly amnesic? — Voit, who surely is harboring his own sinister agenda. Other Season 18 cast includes Lucifer alum Aimee Garcia as Dr. Julia Ochoa, a leading neuropsychiatrist assigned to help Voit recover from his injury-induced brain trauma, while franchise vet Matthew Gray Gubler recently made his first Evolution appearance as Dr. Spencer Reid.
