TV on DVD is one of my favourite things. Long before Netflix, it revolutionized the way we consume television and, for the first time ever, made it possible for a show to be remembered (or even discovered) long after it was canceled (most likely by FOX). At least half of all hardcore Whedon fans seem […]
Back in May 2012- which seems like a long time ago, but it was only 2 years ago- the USA network premiered a show entitled Political Animals. The show starred Sigourney Weaver, and much like Damages (F/X) or The Closer (TNT), Animals was banking on female star power to sell the show. One of the […]
This is already a crazy-good season of The Bachelorette, and we’re only 4 episodes (plus an unnecessary clip show) in! Andi still has 11 guys left (I usually do this when she gets down to around 8) but I’m already so invested in- and so opinionated about- this season that I couldn’t wait even […]
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.

After the premiere, I wondered how a show like this moves forward from the Red Wedding. Despite a few missteps (hello, unnecessary […]
Despite a compelling performance by its leading actors, NBC’s new pirate drama Crossbones never quite manages to take off. On the surface, it seems like a show I should really like. It’s a period drama. It’s about pirates. It has John Malkovich. And yet, despite having all the right ingredients, Crossbones falls flat. John Malkovich stars as […]
The dramatic conclusion to Hannibal‘s second season this past weekend left a big gaping question: what happens next? (Spoilers ahead). Although a cult favorite, Hannibal has a small audience, and was only just renewed a few weeks ago. The season finale felt like it could also have doubled as a series finale. Perhaps after Pushing Daisies’ […]
