Apple TV has had no shortage of critical hits in recent years, but few series have caught on with critics as quickly as Widow’s Bay. Less than two months after making its debut, Katie Dippold’s horror comedy has emerged as one of the biggest success stories of the television season, tying for the most nominations at the 42nd Television Critics Association Awards with five nods. No other show received more, with Heated Rivalry and Industry also finishing atop the field.

2025 gave us a queer sports romance that had everyone swooning over a suave Russian hockey player who knew exactly when to drop a flirty comment to leave everyone flustered. Heated Rivalry shot Connor Storrie into stardom and showcased his potential for versatility, as he not only mastered Ilya's teasing and tough side but also the raw vulnerability that simmered beneath. However, it is his latest guest star role in Criminal Minds: Evolution that cements the actor's range, as he steps into the BAU without a Russian accent and a dangerous glint in his eyes. Season 4, Episode 4 brings Storrie into the fold as a stalker ex-boyfriend named Lance, who plays an integral part of the season's larger storyline about the elusive Fan, and his scenes are chillingly and humorously memorable.
