‘Legends of Tomorrow’ 2.02 Recap: “I Don’t Pretend to Understand Any of This Time Travel Bunk”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 19:00:41 +0000

In their latest episode, the ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ are formally introduced to the Justice Society of America – which amounts to being a sort of low-rent knockoff of The Avengers featuring a bunch of superheroes you’ve never heard of before. (Please, no fanboy complaints about which came first in the comics.) The season premiere ended...

‘Suits’ 6.01 Recap: “Pin the Tail on the Harvey”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:00:22 +0000

The USA Network’s ‘Suits’ is a classic example of a show that has simply clung to life for too long. Early seasons were cracking good entertainment, but the last couple (especially Season 5) were an exercise in frustration watching characters constantly infighting for no reason and making terrible decisions purely for the sake of amping...

‘Legends of Tomorrow’ 1.16 Recap: “This Mission Is Not Over”

Throughout its first season, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ swung repeatedly from goofy comic book fun to infuriating nonsense. The finale episode certainly doesn’t try too hard to make much sense, but it’s entertaining enough to bring me back for another year. Following the team’s conflict with the Time Masters, the Waverider returns to Star City in...

‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Part 1 Recap: “The Devil Has Many Faces”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 15 May 2014 16:00:25 +0000

The parade of new TV programs based on old movies continues this week with NBC’s miniseries remake of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’. As a new parent with two infants at home, perhaps this wasn’t the best timing for me to watch the story of an evil devil baby. Unlike some other so-called “limited series” that initially promise...

‘Suits’ 3.01 Recap: “You Really Suck at Quitting”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:00:24 +0000

Apropos of Friday’s Roundtable post about favorite lawyer movies, last week also saw the return of my current favorite TV series about lawyers, ‘Suits’ on the USA Network. As excited as I was for the show’s return, I found myself very confused when I didn’t recognize any of the clips in the “Previously on” recap...

‘Suits’ 2.01 Recap: “Maybe You Won’t Be the Worst Lawyer in the History of Everything”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:00:01 +0000

The USA Network’s legal drama ‘Suits’ turned out to be my favorite television series of last summer, which was quite a surprise given the overwhelming number of generic lawyer shows on the air. With an unconventional premise (the lead character faked his law degree), well-drawn characters and excellent writing, ‘Suits’ was anything but generic. The...

‘Suits’ Pilot Recap: Surprisingly Well-Tailored

Josh Zyber — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:00:16 +0000

Legal dramas are a dime a dozen on almost every network on television, and only about half of them have ‘Law & Order’ in the title. For a new one to stand out among the clutter, it needs to put a unique and (hopefully) interesting spin on the old familiar formula. The twist behind the...
