Brooklyn Nine Nine (FOX) After binge-watching this comedy series over the summer, I eagerly awaited the second season. It did not disappoint. The characters are zany without being obnoxious. The strong ensemble cast was only enhanced by some brilliant guest stars (including Kyra Sedgwick, perfectly cast as Captain Holt’s nemesis). There wasn’t an episode so […]
1-Fargo (F/X) I was hesitant to start this show, and after the first episode was a mirror image of the events from the film, I stopped watching. After hearing some buzz to the contrary, I pushed forward as the show had come to an end, and boy was I glad. Fargo was a fantastic twist […]
When an Aaron Sorkin TV show reaches the end of its first season, an episode titled “What Kind of Day Has it Been” signals the end, for now.

Kevin even got along with that dog! Matt helped Kevin get rid of Patti’s body. Kevin then thought Matt was […]
*Spoilers Ahead* Over seven seasons True Blood has had some ups, and lots of downs. After the show’s second season, the series seemed to over stuff the cast with people who were killed off in meaningless methods, rather than focusing on the development of the central characters. Who remembers the Sam and his family of […]
This week’s episode of The Leftovers, “The Garveys at their Best” finally showed us a bit of what life was like before everything got all screwed up. And yes, everything was screwed up back then too.
