Archer Review: “Swiss Miss” (2.1)
The last season of Archer left the ISIS team in utter shambles. Archer had a mind-control chip embedded in his skull, Malory was busy dealing with the escalating repercussions to her affair with the head of the KGB, and Cyril was balls deep in a French secretary. In other words, business as usual.... read more
Shameless Review (Episode 1.04)

Ricky Gervais Show Review: "The Fly " (2.3)
In pretty much every way “The Fly” was a a typical episode of The Ricky Gervais Show. That’s not a bad thing, especially since consistency is one of the show’s high marks. After an episode or two you pretty much know what to expect from the entire series, it’s just a matter of topics that changes. Karl Pilkington will always be just as dumb and Stephen and Ricky will always be there on the side to navigate viewers through his thoughts, and there’s little plot or real substance to get in the way of humor. It’s incredibly simple entertainment, but... read more

Community Review: "Celebrity Pharmacology" (2.13)
With all of Community’s non-stop meta-commentary it’s a surprise that the show wears its heart so very much on its sleeve. Early commercials for it mentioned The Breakfast Club, and while that’s not really what Dan Harmon and company are going for, there’s a lot of that earnestness going into the show. Characters are really supposed to work out their issues and improve as people, which immediately sets the show off from the kind of nihilism of Seinfeld or meandering repetition of The Office. There’s an element of the show that, for better or worse, is a bit didactic. In... read more
