Bryan Fuller has a history of creating visually stunning shows with a unique take on death. Hannibal is the latest in this tradition, though it is much darker than his previous work (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and my personal favorite, Pushing Daisies). It’s unlike any other show on TV right now, and for those who […]
“Can you keep it down? I’m trying to drink.” Although the idea is impossible, it feels as if Matt Weiner was afraid that Mad Men would get canceled after the end of this year, because this week’s season finale almost feels like a finale for the entire series.

There was a lot of build up to the recent Walking Dead season three finale. We’ve been waiting for this showdown since the show returned for the second half. I’m sure the ratings remained, as they have all year, gargantuan for AMC. I assumed the body count would be equally large and the misery would be piled […]
You guys all know how much I love The Bachelorette, but The Bachelor has always been that somewhat unpleasant show that I watch just so that I know the chosen bachelorette’s backstory when she finally gets to hand out her own roses.
