A strong series finale can go a long way towards helping an audience forget about minor bumps and bruises a show provided through an uneven series run. But what it can’t do is take a beloved series that almost fully lost sight of everything that made it great in its final run of episodes and […]
I suspect there’s little, if anything, I or any other critic could write about the third (and possibly final?) season of Ted Lasso that could either dissuade someone or convince someone to watch the series at this point. At this stage in the game, you’ve either been thoroughly charmed by the fish out of water […]
As we continue to wait for the third (and reportedly final) season of AppleTV+’s hit comedy series Ted Lasso, the streaming service has provided us with something to tide us over: Shrinking, a new comedy series from the team behind Ted Lasso (that would be Bill “Scrubs” Lawrence and Brett “Roy Kent” Goldstein), along with […]
The third season of Mythic Quest, that other workplace comedy on AppleTV+, premiers on Friday, November 11, and it’s in fine form.

Another year has flown by, and while we still remain in the clutches of a pandemic, 2021 brought with it a host of new, complex, and interesting television shows – a change from 2020, where the industry started running out of new content by year’s end. As is always the case, my list started out […]

In this installment of The Best Show You Aren’t Watching, our underappreciated series once again comes from AppleTV+ (the streaming service that seems to be hitting it out of the park when it comes to unassuming and quirky shows that lack big name stars – compared to their big, flashy shows that just aren’t quite […]
Just over a week ago, my Twitter feed blew up with TV critics praising the second season finale of the AppleTV+ series For All Mankind. I’ll admit that when I saw the series pop-up in my screener queue in 2019, I assumed it was some type of documentary on the space program and I didn’t […]
2020 is finally on its way out (and not a moment too soon for anyone), which means it’s time for that time honored holiday tradition: Critics’ Top Ten Lists! As we all spent more time on our sofas watching TV this year than any of us thought we would, I suspect many of you will […]
