That being said, I tend to grow tired of leftovers after a couple of days, but I know in my heart of hearts that the characters on this list would devour what's in my fridge until there's not a single crumb left.

Premiering on Valentine’s Day this year, the series starred Zoë Kravitz was axed in August after a lone season, but it didn’t go down without gifting audiences with a poignant episode on everyday sexism and mansplaining.

Read More > Movies, Lucasfilm, Star Wars (franchise) By Rachel Leishman on Thu,2:35 This franchise can, in a lot of ways, change an actor's life. But I think that this franchise also protects those who already have a bit of a career under their belt and continues to help them while sometimes leaving the formerly "unknown" performers in the dust. Overall, the franchise needs to do better in many ways but especially in how it protects its casts.
