It's been an excellent season of Parks and Recreation, more varied than any that came before it, and despite a mounting episode count Parks doesn't even seem close to running out of steam. read more
Modern Family Review: "Career Day" (Episode 4.21)
Just four episodes left in the fourth season of Modern Family. It’s been a season of ups and downs, but with this episode it’s clear that the show has plateaued. read more
The Americans Review: "The Colonel" (Episode 1.13)
A good season finale is tricky to pull off. The episode must simultaneously satisfy viewers while leaving them wanting more. read more
New Girl Review: "Virgins" (Episode 2.23)
The more I watch New Girl, the more I come to the conclusion that it might be one of the best—if not THE best—sitcoms on television. read more
The Mindy Project Review: "Triathlon" (Episode 1.22)

Community: "Basic Human Anatomy" (Episode 4.11)
At this point in time, I'm well aware that it's too much to ask for an episode of Community to completely forego pop culture parodies, so the question is really what makes some of these good and others, almost exclusively in this fourth season, awful read more
The Americans Review: "The Oath" (Episode 1.12)
As much as The Americans is about marriage and espionage, it is also the story of two women being used as pawns in the Cold War. Martha and Nina are each being duped by men who claim to care deeply about them. Both of them made big moves in “The Oath.” read more
Bates Motel Review: "The Truth" (Episode 1.06)
Bates Motel has its inherent problems, ones that aren’t going to go away just because “The Truth” is the best episode of the series so far. It’s an episode that is able to surprise in a way that Bates Motel didn’t seem capable, or really that interested in doing. By subverting expectations, Bates Motel has actually sort of become interesting again after a lackluster first half of a season. read more
