NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Oolong Slayer” (A) Another winner, this time beautifully focusing on the friendship between Peralta and Holt. By both having each other’s backs, everything returns to normal for the Nine-Nine, and the best sitcom on network … 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
