Weekend Roundtable: Worst Movie & TV Politicians

Josh Zyber — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 20:00:59 +0000

From simply incompetent to outright evil, movies and TV have given us countless bad politicians over the years. Regardless of whether you’re happy with the outcome of this week’s U.S. Presidential election or not, let’s all come together and be grateful that none of these fictional leaders really hold office.

‘Covert Affairs’ 4.01 Recap: “So, That Happened”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:00:27 +0000

If ‘Suits‘ is, rather indisputably, the USA Network’s best original series, then ‘Covert Affairs’ is… well, it’s not. That’s not to say that it’s the worst, but I certainly can’t justify it as better than a guilty pleasure. Even so, I can’t be the only one still watching. The show started its fourth season last...

‘Covert Affairs’ 2.16 Recap: “Have Fun Working”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:00:05 +0000

Yes, ‘Covert Affairs’ is still on the air, and yes I’m still watching. I can’t pretend that it’s a great show, but it’s passively entertaining enough that I’m still with it. Last week, the series had its second Season 2 finale. As some viewers may recall, the season started in the summer, took a break...

‘Covert Affairs’ 2.11 Recap: “It Seems Like I’m in a Bit of a Losing Streak”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:00:55 +0000

The USA Network wants to make its summer series ‘Covert Affairs’ into a fall series. This seems like a mistake to me. Even at its best, the show is lightweight, disposable fluff that skirts by in the summer months due mostly to a lack of competition from any major network heavy-hitters. It doesn’t seem suited...

‘Big Love’ 5.01 Recap: “You’re on Your Own… Boy, Are You”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 16:00:37 +0000

‘Big Love’ may well be one of the most underrated series on television. Although continually overlooked in favor of HBO’s bigger, flashier shows (‘The Sopranos’, ‘True Blood’, ‘Boardwalk Empire’, etc.), it has steadily, quietly grown into a real powerhouse drama. With this past Sunday’s premiere, the show returned for its fifth and final season. Considering...

‘Covert Affairs’ 1.05 Recap: “Sucked in by His Evil Vortex”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:00:56 +0000

While ‘Covert Affairs’ continues to live in the shadow of ‘Alias’ and not really live up to its own potential, the show keeps skirting by from episode to episode with just barely enough entertainment value to make me watch for another week. It’s OK, but I’m already more excited for J.J. Abrams’ new spy series...
