After the disappointing season premiere , I was hoping that the second episode of ‘True Detective’ this year would engage me in a way the first episode didn’t. The bad news is that a big chunk of Episode 2 is jus...
Did ‘Under the Dome’ really come back for a third season? Did I really waste two hours watching the premiere? How is it possible that this show has gotten even goofier than it already was? Honestly, the start of the ne...
Well, that’s 0 for 2. Of HBO’s new summer comedies, the political satire ‘The Brink’ may not be as awful as ‘Ballers‘, but it’s still a huge missed opportunity.

Whenever a new series premieres on the Syfy network, it has a 50/50 shot at being decent. OK, maybe more like 40/60. The channel has actually produced some pretty good shows on occasion, but a lot of crap too. Unfortunately, ̵...
Considering how slowly this second season of ‘Penny Dreadful’ has progressed and how fragmented its storylines have been, it seems like a very odd choice to take an extended time-out from the main narrative right now. ...
I seem to be way out of touch with ‘Game of Thrones’ fandom this season. I didn’t much care for the White Walker battle a couple episodes ago, which everyone else went completely gaga for. Then I actually did lik...
In the third season premiere of ‘Hannibal’, we found out what Dr. Lecter has been doing since he fled to Europe. For the follow-up episode, we check in to see what Will Graham’s been up to as well.
