‘The X Files’ 11.09 Recap: “It’s Your Day to Be Beautiful”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:00:08 +0000

For as frustratingly uneven as this season of ‘The X Files’ has been, I’ll give the show credit that several episodes, including this week’s, have felt like they could have come right out of the original series. Even if they’re not quite top-tier original series, that’s still an improvement over the last revival season. Episode...

Taking a cue from Netflix, the TBS network premiered the entire first season of its new comedy ‘Angie Tribeca’ all at once on Sunday night in what was advertised as a 25-hour, commercial free “Binge-a-thon.” How a basic cable network could possibly make money from such an event is a mystery even our detective heroine...

The recent relaunch of the Muppet film franchise may have fizzled after just two movies, but a little setback like that can’t keep a good frog, pig or bear down. Jim Henson’s iconic felt creations return to television this season with a new comedy series simply titled ‘The Muppets’, and it’s the first (perhaps only?)...

After a string of action-packed episodes, the eighth entry in ‘Bates Motel’ takes a more leisurely approach… that is, until its shocking and scream-worthy conclusion. In the girls’ restroom at school, Emma overhears some of her classmates gossiping about Norman. The other girls wonder why Norman pesters Bradley so much and thinks that Bradley would...

Bates Motel 1.07 Recap: “You Can’t Get Blood Out of Stone”

Shannon Nutt — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:00:15 +0000

After last week’s thrilling episode, ‘Bates Motel’ couldn’t possibly keep up the pace, could it? Well, as it turns out, as Episode 7 wraps up some storylines, it unveils a number of new ones. As ‘The Man in Number 9’ gets underway, Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell) arrives at the motel and confirms that Deputy Shelby...

‘Justified’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Much Call for Cowboys These Days”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:00:39 +0000

‘Justified’ returned to kick off its third season last week. Even though the show has never been a significant ratings hit, the FX network has had enough faith to keep it on the air this long. That’s a good thing for fans, because the last season left a number of unresolved storylines hanging. The season...

‘Justified’ 2.11 Recap: “What Are You Doing? You Don’t Piss on Someone’s Lawn.”

Luke Hickman — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:00:56 +0000

One of the best things about ‘Justified’ is the show’s ability to concurrently tell several different stories that, although they may not appear to, end up coming to the same head. Each side story episode gives the audience a break, making it feel more like a series and less like a mini-series. It’s the equivalent...
