David and Darla shine in the brilliantly plotted, character driven, perfectly cast and uniquely toned first season of Dexter. The character of Dexter Morgan could not be further from Michael C. Hall’s famous role as David Fischer on Six Feet Under; while David was golden hearted yet socially awkward, Dexter is a charismatic sociopath. It’s […]

10. My epic facebook TV debate with Rachael from “I watch movies then talk about them”. Daily we exchange ideas on topics ranging from our favourite TV sidekicks to which female characters make the best case for feminism. 9. Late Canadian stage legend William Hutt’s performance of King Lear in the series finale of Slings & Arrows […]
I think this week’s episodes of So You Think You Can Dance deserve applause. After last week’s disappointing turn and the uninspiring auditions that proceeded it I was sure that this would be the year I didn’t care.

There is a grand tradition of Grey’s Anatomy season finales. Addison’s arrival left millions of viewers speechless and uncertain. Denny’s death is remembered as one of the most emotional moments of television in years. Christina’s wedding should have earned Sandra Oh an Emmy and sent Burke off on exactly the right note. So when last […]
With Back to You cancelled and the genuinely hilarious Aliens in America gone I found myself panicking that I had no sitcoms left to watch. Yes How I Met Your Mother is still chugging along and the usually unfunny Office and Scrubs still exist. Samantha Who, Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock all claim a […]
