NEW SHOWS Silicon Valley – “Two in the Box” (B+) Gets a little in the weeds of its business venture, but then closes with one of the funniest, filthiest scenes to ever air on television. I was in tears. Veep … Continue reading

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 – “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 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 Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “House Mouses” (A-) Hitchcock and Scully get their time to shine, or rather, fail spectacularly as expected. My common refrain continues, as there’s at least one superfluous story (here, the ladies overcoming their fears, though … 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

NEW SHOWS The Mindy Project – “The Parent Trap” (A) In some ways, this is the best episode the show has ever done. Hysterical and unabashedly raunchy in its first two-thirds, devastating and honest in its final act, this is … Continue reading
