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 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

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 Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Funeral” (A-) Great work as usual from Dean Winters as “The Vulture,” who serves as the new captain in the wake of Captain Dozerman’s (Bill Hader) heart attack. This show is notorious for throwing … Continue reading
