NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Hostage Situation” (A) This show just keeps getting better. It starts with Holt breakdancing and only gets better from there, as Boyle and Peralta try to free Boyle’s sperm samples (aka “Boyle Oil” — eww) … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Yippie Kayak” (A) A warm, winning Die Hard parody that takes everything great about the show’s characters and puts it in one delightful package. The year’s best Christmas episode. Fargo – “Palindrome” (B+) / season … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Swedes” (B+) This episode gets plenty of mileage out of the contrasting styles of the hyper-competent but nosy Swedish cops and Peralta & Diaz, the smart but not-so-emotional duo. But it’s Holt and Boyle … Continue reading
