That seems ridiculous to me, but I suppose all those disgruntled Game of...

This is a really gimmicky and frustrating affectation that I hope the show discontinues when next season comes around. To justify the device, we open with Virginia and her group (still...

Following several obvious filler entries, it’s nice to have a fairly eventful episode again. As if in response to complaints that Logan (Matt Frewer) is an underdeveloped antagonist, episode Leave What You Don’t opens...

Surprisingly, it’s not the worst episode of the season. Of course, it’s also certainly not the best. The primary setting this week is a Jewish synagogue still actively maintained by Rabbi Jacob Kessner (Peter Jacobson from House...

More importantly, the show returns to regular high-definition (albeit dull and colorless) photography. The episode starts with a man named Chuck radioing Channel 4 and asking for help. Specifically, he wants someone to...

It’s back this week to kick off a new storyline, and to frustrate viewers with an annoying stylistic tic. Frankly, I already find it annoying the way the show will lapse into near-black-and-white...

Even more frustrating, however, were the episode’s aggressive commercial breaks that cut into the middle of scenes, sometimes while the characters were still talking! Whoever was in charge of programming the...

Events start with Annie, her brothers, and the other kids from Camp Cackleberry making themselves at home at the truck stop. Annie even...

That’s a new one. Fear the Walking Dead sets aside most of the main cast this week to finally tell us what happened to Althea (Maggie Grace). The answer is surprisingly interesting, even if you don’t typically care about the character. Believe me, I’d understand if you don’t care about Althea. She’s...
