Found in: TV, FeaturesFall Guide to Good TV: Californication
Sundays at 10 p.m. on ShowtimeCreator Tom Kapinos’ brilliantly written Californication is hilarious, poignant, sexy, insightful, and as rock ’n’ roll as a show about a novelist can be. David Duchovny has never been better than he is as author Hank Moody—a complex bundle of id, heart and best intentions that’ll have you wondering, “So who’s Fox Mulder again?”... read more

Found in: Movies, ReviewsDexter Review: "Go Your Own Way" (Episode 310)
Another deliberately structured episode this week, as Miguel and Dexter’s relationship has devolved into a nasty rivalry more quickly than anticipated. It’s a treat and a relief for the show to revert back to the mode it’s in now, a breakneck, almost giddy series of suspense cues and constricting subplots that surged through the entire episode.... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsDexter Review: "The Damage a Man Can Do" (Episode 308) and "About Last Night" (Episode 309)
Amid a season that's proven the most concentrated effort yet to make Dexter about more than the kill, the last two episodes reverted back to the mode the series does best: pulp. Even as the domestic sphere continues to brew in the foreground, the focus has centered resolutely to Dexter and Miguel’s newfound game, which we now know is more evenly matched than we had thought.... read more

Stan Lee’s influence has come to tower over the contemporary surge in comic-book adaptations, but even his expansive oeuvre has some underdeveloped patches. The 85-year-old touchstone has teamed with Showtime to develop a series, Hero, centered on the emergence of a gay superhero icon.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsDexter Review: "Easy as Pie" (Episode 7)
In our haste to dig into this season’s often listless narrative arcs, we’ve ignored some well-drawn work that has edged its way in. Margo Martindale (pictured) makes what will likely be her final appearance on the show this week as Camilla, the file clerk and old family friend who helped Dexter delve into his past in the first season. We learned she was terminal last week, and even if Dexter’s quest to find her the perfect key-lime pie was a pretty transparent ruse, her final hours (and Dexter’s unlikely part in them) were an ingenious way to explore mortality without... read more
