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

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Mattress” (B+) Also known as “Jake Grows Up.” It’s a genuine bit of maturity for Jake to put away his childish view of his role as a boyfriend and a man, but of course … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Into the Woods” (B+) A more modestly entertaining episode after weeks of straight killing it. Boyle, Peralta and “Fun Terry” head out to the world’s saddest cabin, owned by Matt Walsh (the comedian, not the … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Fargo – “Fear and Trembling” (A) “We’re out of balance.” “You and me?” “No. The world.” Those are the powerful lines from Lou near the end of this intense episode. Betrayal is the major theme of this episode, … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Treehouse of Horror XXVI” (C+) After last year’s exemplary installment of scary stories, this is a lackluster episode that doesn’t feature any truly memorable segments. It’s a representation of the series as a whole at … Continue reading

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
