Perhaps the best compliment I can give Big Mouth is that when I reached the end of season three, I didn’t realize it and was utterly crushed that there wasn’t another episode to watch. It’s rare to find a show that is both so smart and so soulful – that isn’t afraid to really go […]
Remember when Game of Thrones went off the air back in May and everyone wondered if HBO would ever have another hit show that captured the cultural zeitgeist? Well, who would have thought it would only take them a few months to clean-up once again? For those of us who fell in love (or fell […]
Amazon’s latest television offering sounds great on paper: an anthology series exploring love in the Big Apple, starring the likes of Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, John Slattery (Mad Men), and Andrew Scott (the Hot Priest of Fleabag), where each episode clocks in at around 30 minutes. With those bonafides, Modern Love should be […]
I should know by now to trust Vince Gilligan when he says he has an idea that will bring us all back into the Breaking Bad universe. But, as with the announcement of Better Call Saul six years ago, I approached El Camino with caution. After all, I was part of the camp of critics […]
How do you solve a problem like Jeffrey Tambor, the Emmy-winning star of Transparent, getting fired from the show after accusations of sexual harassment? Well, if you’re Jill Soloway, you decide to scrap plans for a fifth and final season of the show and simply (well, not simply, this was clearly a lot of work […]
TV itself has never been stronger. It’s diverse. It’s powerful. It’s funny. It shows the depth of our achievements and highlights our worst tragedies. We can celebrate any genre and be inspired and amazed by performance after performance. And there is truly too much to watch. But the Emmy Awards are broken. They’ve alienated most […]
I watch a lot of television, so speed is often of the essence when I’m set to review a show. In fact, I had hoped to get my review of Unbelievable, Netflix’s latest eight-episode limited series, up on Monday this week. But I missed that deadline because I wanted to savor every moment of this […]
A chill is in the air (at least in the Midwest and New England – sorry rest of the country) and fall is just around the corner. Which means it’s once again time for the Emmy Awards – a night for the television folks to pat themselves on the back for another year of way […]
Amazon’s new rotoscoped series Undone sounds pretty amazing on paper: strong cast (that includes Bob Odenkirk, Rosa Salazar, and Constance Marie), really awesome animation effects (seriously, the rotoscoping is smooth and cool), and strong pedigree in the form of co-creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg (who is also the showrunner and creator of the sensational BoJack Horseman). But […]
I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of Netflix’s Mindhunter. I loved the quasi-procedural nature of the series (something I rarely enjoy in television), as the show explored the elements that made some of the country’s most violent serial killers tick. But, despite enjoying watching the investigations and the nascent stages of criminal profiling develop, season […]
