I think few would argue that the penultimate episode of ‘True Detective’ this season is one of the best. Now, don’t misunderstand me, I wouldn’t rank this week’s episode as a great hour of TV by any d...
Despite the fact that the last couple of episodes have been much more coherent than what we got earlier in the season, I feel safe in saying now that Season 2 of ‘True Detective’ is a huge disappointment. Not just in c...
I won’t go as far as to call this week’s episode of ‘True Detective’ a good one – the season is far too much of a mess to make that proclamation – but I will say that in terms of storytelling, this is one o...
Hey everybody, it’s time to recap another episode of ‘True Detective’, the show that makes you pay close attention in order to unravel a mystery that you don’t give two hoots about. I’ve tried to give...

After a relatively slow start to Season 3, ‘Bates Motel’ has turned into one of the best series on TV right now. The last several episodes have been particularly strong, and this week’s entry continues that strea...
Last week, I praised ‘Bates Motel’ for delivering what was perhaps the best episode of the entire series. I’m glad to report that this week’s entry keeps the quality up.
