NEW SHOWS Fargo – “Fear and Trembling” (A) “We’re out of balance.” “You and me?” “No. The world.” Those are the powerful lines from Lou near the end of this intense episode. Betrayal is the major theme of this episode, … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Treehouse of Horror XXVI” (C+) After last year’s exemplary installment of scary stories, this is a lackluster episode that doesn’t feature any truly memorable segments. It’s a representation of the series as a whole at … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Boyle’s Hunch” (A) The best episode of the season thus far, with loads of character-based humor and a plot that relies on the crew to be excellent at their jobs. Plus, plenty of jabs at … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Mindy Project – “C is for Coward” (B+) That’s more like it. Mindy finally has her baby, but it’s done in a purposefully anti-climactic way. All the planning in the world can’t build you a cocoon from … Continue reading
