As much as I swear I really did appreciate the hilarious beauty of USA sitcom Playing House back in its excellent first and second seasons in 20014/15, you never really know how much you love something until it’s gone. Or maybe how much you missed something until it comes back? Either way, the rush of […]

Another summer over means another half season of Suits also coming to an end. And while my summer has been great, season 6A of Suits has stunk more than the streets of Toronto it films on after garbage day. Look, I love Suits as much at the next proud Toronto resident whose claim to fame […]

CLICK HERE to read our full coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2016. Mr. Robot is the biggest thing to happen to basic cable since Mad Men. It’s a massive critical hit, racking up six Emmy nominations including USA Network’s first-ever Drama Series nod and breakout star Rami Malek who is the odds-on favourite to win […]

One word can accurately sum up my thoughts during the Graceland finale, and now, after digesting the finale: why?! Another acceptable word is: what? Major spoilers ahead. The root of a lot of problems with the finale (and the season overall) can be found in this interview with Jeff Eastin, the executive producer. Two things […]

Suits continued season four in the much the same way it did season three: a half season long arc, resolved before the midseason finale, followed by Louis discovering the truth about Mike. It’s always a surprise though. The show digs itself into the deepest of holes, leaving us to wonder how it could possibly climb […]

The title to this piece is a misnomer; Graceland’s sophomore season is more than halfway over. It’s hard to believe, because the season has flown by. So many things are happening, and in order to wrap everything up, the remaining five episodes will probably be intense and full of action. Not that the current episodes […]

Remember the song “Why Can’t We Be friends?” I feel as though the characters on Suits should give it a good old listen. Maybe just the chorus though, those verses don’t make any sense. I all seriousness, Suits got all kinds of serious in “Leveraged.”  The most recent episode had all our favourite boys scrambling […]

Summer is finally here! Okay, maybe not officially until June 21, but since I base my calendar on TV seasons and not science, and Graceland, a quintessential summer show just kicked off its second season: it’s now summer. What makes Graceland a quintessential summer show? Well, it takes place in southern California, with plenty of […]

A lot of people think the entire USA lineup is something of a whitewash- likeable but not all that memorable, easy to follow, inoffensive in every way- but I actually really like a number of their shows. From the hyper verbal boys in suits on Suits to the beachy cool kids who fight crime at […]

Graceland’s season finale, “Pawn” was a mostly satisfying end to a strong freshman season. Despite moments when you want to rip your hair out in frustration, “Pawn” succeeded in tying up a lot of loose ends, and season long arcs, while setting up some brilliant conflicts for next season, which has thankfully been confirmed. *Spoilers […]

The title is technically a lie, because USA’s Graceland is now more than halfway done with its first season. The season started out strong, but fell into a bit of a routine, which while enjoyable wasn’t especially challenging or innovative. However, in the last two episodes “Goodbye High” and “Bag Man”, the show took incredible […]

Summer can be a difficult time for TV watchers. It’s traditionally a movie season, featuring blockbuster after blockbuster. And while it’s true the network television pickings are slim, cable is increasingly excellent at picking up the slack. USA’s Graceland is a perfect summer show. Part of this might be the abundance of beaches and other […]

While I am sure there are some fans of Burn Notice who feel the finale was a little rushed, I’m actually happy the entire story was ended without spilling into season seven. Don’t’ get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed watching the whole ‘cat and mouse’ chases between Westin and Reily for the last several episodes but […]

Going into their summer mid-season finale, Burn Notice had good momentum. Still coming off the shocking death of Michael’s brother Nate and the hunt to find his killer, our heroes took their eye off the ball and were unaware they were being set up. The man doing the set up might have possible ties with […]

Political Animals‘ 6-part season was great and if it doesn’t get a second season, I’ll be sad, but it’ll still be a great mini-series that got to the heart of its humans while completely leaving pretension at the door. The great James Wolk and Sebastian Stan got better and better each episode, Ellen Burstyn stayed […]
