Boardwalk Empire Review: "Belle Femme" (1.9)

<em>Boardwalk Empire</em> Review: "Belle Femme" (1.9)

Although there’s no titular lead character, Boardwalk Empire is in nearly every other way Nucky Thompson’s show. Likewise, it’s also a mob show, and like other mob narratives one of the chief concerns is for who makes it out alive. These two aspects of Empire are in some ways in conflict with each other from the very beginning in that giving the show over so heavily to one character means that there’s a loss of tension as to whether he’ll make it out of an episode alive—the essential question of if he’ll be the one whacked is already answered by...  read more

The Walking Dead Review (Episode 1.3 "Tell It to the Frogs")

<i>The Walking Dead</i> Review (Episode 1.3 "Tell It to the Frogs")

With only two zombie kills and hardly any other zombies, period, “Frogs” further distanced The Walking Dead from all other zombie stories that have come before. The episode was filled with emotional highs, from a tearful family reunion to a gruesome non-zombie ending. In fact, most of the violence was reserved for the humans....  read more

Community Review: "Collaborative Calligraphy" (2.8)

<em>Community</em> Review: "Collaborative Calligraphy" (2.8)

One of the first things that “Cooperative Calligraphy” confronts you with is that it’s a bottle episode, so we might as well start off by explaining what that means for the few of you who both read internet TV criticism and are unaware. In short, a bottle episode is when due to budget constraints, a show sets an entire episode in an already built location, meaning that the characters are stuck in one place. The result of this odd situation has become a genre unto itself, and although the term used to be a bit apocryphal, these days most really...  read more

The Office Review: "Viewing Party" (Episode 7.08)

<em>The Office</em> Review: "Viewing Party" (Episode 7.08)

I’m just gonna go ahead and say it: I don’t really know what to make of Erin. Most of last season, her story was centered around whether or not she and Andy would get together, and that was pretty much all we knew about her — that the doe-eyed receptionist was sweet and perfect for him. Then at the beginning of this season we were abruptly told that she had dumped Andy over the summer, leaving him for Gabe. Now, this week, we learn a little more about her odd father/daughter dynamic with Michael....  read more
