NEW SHOWS Veep – “Morning After” (B+) / season premiere As razor-sharp as ever, but maybe tries to cram too much plot into what’s supposed to only be a few hours after Election Night, in which Selina tied with her … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Greg and Larry” (A-) / season finale Not quite as high as last week’s episode, but that might be the best episode they’ve ever done. This is a solid finale where every joke lands, though it … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Togetherness – “For the Kids” (A-) / series finale Though I would appreciate it if the Duplass Brothers found a better way to visualize frustration than wrecking a car, this is all naked emotion, real stakes and satisfying payoff. … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Togetherness – “Geri-ina” (B) Feels less like an organic development and more like moving the plot along. Some good moments as always, but nothing feels like it’s happening for anything other than moving to the finale. Brooklyn Nine-Nine … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Togetherness – “Just the Range” (A-) “That’s great that you want that. I’m just not the person who can give that to you.” That’s what Larry tells Tina in their best scene together. It’s also what Brett might … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Carmichael Show – “Fallen Heroes” (A-) The best episode the show has done yet (and yes, I have a small sample size) that exemplifies all its greatest attributes: it’s funny, the cast has great chemistry and it … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 19 Apr 2015
NEW SHOWS Community – “Advanced Safety Features” (B+) I’m constantly amazed how consistently solid this season has been. This episode found an ingenious way to incorporate product placement AND give a chance for an old character to resurface without feeling … Continue reading
What I Watched This Week: 12 Apr 2015
NEW SHOWS Community – “Basic Email Security” (A-) Like “Mixology Certification,” this dark episode exposes a lot of the group’s resentments while managing to remain hilarious. This is the best episode Paget Brewster and Keith David have had thus far … Continue reading
What I Watched This Week: 5 Apr 2015
NEW SHOWS Community – “Laws of Robotics and Party Rights” (B+) A solid, if overly long episode. The line about the 14th Amendment provided the biggest laugh of the night and represents the kind of bold but nerdy joke that … Continue reading
