It may not have a great title, or even a great premise, but Bad Judge is off to a good start. The new sitcom follows Judge Rebecca Wright, played by Kate Walsh, as she balances work and binge drinking. It sounds ridiculous, thinking that a well-respected judge could also live a lifestyle similar to those […]
Before watching Black-ish, I was under the impression that the new comedy would be all about a rich black family whose patriarch decided they were too “white acting” and needed to add some black culture back into their lives. After watching the pilot, that sentence pretty much summed it up. In fact, the previews for […]
I wanted to like Mulaney. I really, really wanted to like it. John Mulaney is one of my favorite comedians out there at the moment, and so it pains me to say that I didn’t enjoy the pilot of his new sitcom. It was awkward, the characters were underdeveloped, and the pacing was weird. The […]
Stalker wins my nomination for best scripted fall pilot thus far (sadly beating How to Get Away with Murder which I was super disappointed in and Gotham which got better in episode two but the pilot left me underwhelmed).

While Zelda is a completely different character than Tracey, this rom-com once again introduces a mystery. The show is narrated by Katey Sagal, who tells us […]
Gracepoint is a gripping examination on how a small town reacts to the tragic murder of a young boy. It’s well written. It features gorgeous scenery.

I really wanted to love Fox’s Gotham. It’s about Batman! It stars Ryan Atwood! It takes a unique look at the city that built the man! And there are things to love here. It’s visually stunning. Like… really awesome. In a comic book landscape that runs the gamut from cheesy to realistic to hyper realistic, […]
Ioan Gruffudd stars in Forever is ABC’s new police procedural with a twist. Gruffudd plays Henry Morgan, an immortal medical examiner who helps solve cases while also trying to figure out a way to die. The show slowly reveals Henry’s backstory through flashbacks. It’s not overwhelming, and gives enough pieces of the puzzle that is […]
