NEW SHOWS Poldark – “Episode 1” (B) / season premiere Watched this with my wife and in-laws. While it’s not exactly my cup of tea, it’s extremely well-executed. The wife really liked this one, but I imagine it will get … 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

What I Watched This Week: 10 Apr 2016

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 – “The Sand Situation” (B+) Though Natalie’s presence in the big caper feels a little a too convenient, Brett and Michelle’s big confrontation had to happen at some point, even if both characters refuse to fight fair … 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: 28 Feb 2016

NEW SHOWS Togetherness – “Everybody is Grownups” (A-) Like last year’s “Houston, We Have a Problem,” this is a brutal, almost laugh-free episode of television. Few shows on TV feel as emotionally naked as Togetherness, even if you can’t describe … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 21 Feb 2016

NEW SHOWS Togetherness – “Hotels” (B+) / season premiere Earns a lot of points for jumping ahead and letting the aftermath of Michelle’s infidelity play out over the course of the season. But by cutting to another part of a … Continue reading
