Starz has had a problem of late, where they announce shows that sound absolutely amazing, but when they actually premiere, they fall miserably flat. It happened last fall with The White Queen, and it happened again this week with Black Sails. It should have been brilliant: a pirate show starring Toby Stephens? Yes please. Stephens […]
Sleepy Hollow was one of the best surprises of the 2013-2014 TV season. When I started watching, I wasn’t expecting to like it nearly as much as I did, but it quickly became one of my favorite new shows from the fall 2013 pilots. But sadly, after this week’s dramatic season finale, it’s over all […]
This episode of Parks and Rec had its funny moments, especially with Ron and Craig. However, I am pretty ready for Ann and Chris to leave. Their storylines have been kind of boring this season. I do still love them, though, and hope they get the huge sendoff they deserve. The episode starts off with […]

Hannah celebrated at a party that Marnie planned with Hannah’s parents’ money and Shoshanna exclaimed how amazing it was how little they had all accomplished since college. And thus, the night began. […]
This week’s Parks and Rec was one of transitions. With people moving forward, and some moving back, the characters have to decide what to do and where they belong. There have been a lot of changes in these people’s lives and some transitions are easier than others. The show itself is also dealing with its […]
I came to HBO’s newest series on a week delay, unexpectedly following a dispiriting NFC championship game in which my beloved 49ers lost in heartbreaking fashion. My friend just so happened to recommend a double feature of the first two episodes of True Detective as a salve for my depression, which given the show’s bleak […]
