If it’s on TV, chances are Meredith watches it. It started from a young age with ER and The X-Files, and she's been writing about TV since 2010 — and at TV Insider since 2019. Meredith has enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that she loves Prodigal Son. Add in angels and demons (Good Omens), doctors (The Pitt) and first responders (9-1-1), mysteries (Broadchurch), a Time Lord (Doctor Who), and an iconic sleuth (Sherlock), and you get a good sense of who she is as a TV fan.
