NEW SHOWS
The Righteous Gemstones – “Is This the Man Who Made the World Tremble” (A-)
A nastier, funnier episode than the premiere. But then it pulls off one of the most jaw-dropping twists I’ve seen on TV in some time. Was not expecting anything like that, especially from this show.
CURRENT SHOWS
The Righteous Gemstones – Pilot episode (B+)
Not quite as gut-busting as I was hoping, but still an extremely strong pilot. It knows what kind of show it wants to be. That’s just not the show I was expecting.
BINGEING
Schitt’s Creek – Season 1 (A- average)
A delightful, sweet fishes-out-of-water comedy that grows on you, just like the titular town.
