What I Watched This Week: 11 Sept 2016
NEW SHOWS Atlanta – “Go for Broke” (A-) I don’t want to overrate this episode, especially for a show so new. But this feels like an episode I’ll come back to quite a bit. Nothing much happens per se, but … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 4 Sept 2016
NEW SHOWS Atlanta “The Big Bang” (A-) / series premiere “Streets on Lock” (B+) An extremely confident pilot, followed by an extremely baffling follow-up (which I also loved). It’s early, but I doubt any new show this fall will live … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Night Of – “The Call of the Wild” (A-) / series finale A lot more satisfying than I thought it would be. Yes, they could have treated Chandra better. (Though like almost every character here, her hubris brings … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Night Of – “Ordinary Death” (A-) The kiss between Nas and Chandra is the only misstep the show has made thus far. But who has time to worry about such things, when the testimonies of Detective Box … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Night Of – “Samson and Delilah” (B+) The show slides into its comfort zone as a more artful courtroom drama/prison horror show as the trial begins. And after last week letting the audience question if maybe Nas … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Night Of – “The Art of War” (A-) For the first time, Naz gets to speak for himself. And the consequences could be dire. Cut, burned and possibly tying his own noose, he finally gets the chance … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 24 July 2016
NEW SHOWS The Night Of – “A Dark Crate” (B+) The specter of Michael K. Williams’ King looms large over Rikers Island, just as a prestige-chasing lawyer (Glenne Headley) swoops in to take over for Stone. All that, plus gross … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Casual – “The Magpie” (B-) Despite some stylish presentation (thanks to director Lynn Shelton), the aftermath of Sarah and Jordan’s break-up isn’t making as much of an impact as it thinks it is. “I’m going to destroy you” … Continue reading
