Workaholics may no longer be a TV series, but it still describes an elite crop of actors who not only seldom stray far from the small screen, but at times seem almost ubiquitous.
Now is the time in TVLine’s Year in Review coverage where we celebrate TV’s busiest bees, those who appeared in multiple episodes of multiple shows, often punctuating starring turns with recurring gigs and or a gaggle of guest spots.
The names on this list showed up in two, three… even four or more shows during 2017 — some segueing from a defunct gig to a fresh start,...

This essay discusses the end of Phantom Thread in depth and should be read after seeing the film to avoid spoilers.Reynolds Woodcock, an esteemed and sybaritic dressmaker, believes himself to be cursed, incapable of being loved the way he wants.
