  • Episodes

    This series doesn’t seem to get talked about much, but it’s really great, and so funny. Yeah, it’s yet another take on the ridiculousness of Hollywood, but done in a very fun way – a network brings over British creators of a series they want to adapt to the US – and the leads are…

  • Community

    After the last season, I was pretty sure I was done with Community. Even after they announced the return of Dan Harmon, I just couldn’t get excited about it, as it really felt like the show had jumped the shark, and there was no going back. Well, curiosity got the better of me, and so…

  • Helix

    This is a new show from Ronald Moore (Battlestar Galactica), and 3 episodes in (the opener counted as 2 episodes) I’m already wondering how they can sustain an entire season of this, since it already seems like so many people are affected by the virus they’ve gone to investigate. It’s pretty interesting so far –…

  • Shameless

    It’s crazy how enjoyable it is to watch this series, and I’m glad to see that everything is still on track. Very much looking forward to seeing what kind of mess the family is going to get in this season.

  • True Detective

    Oh man, we’re only 1 episode in and I’m already sold on this show. The two leads are both fantastic – especially McConaughey – and I really like how this story is being told, as a retelling of things past, and that apparently links up with something happening now. Looks like we’re in for a…

  • Girls

    It’s good to have Girls back, although I don’t know if I really like the show as much as I did. I guess it depends on where they go this season, but I wasn’t particularly wowed by the first 2 episodes, although the Amy Schumer bit was pretty funny, and Kim Gordon was pretty funny…

  • My Ham Sandwich

    It’s the simple things. Here’s what my favorite sandwich that I make at home looks like: bread in the form of a baguette fromGontran Cherrier, a little bit of mayonnaise (Kewpie, if you must know), and then slices of ham. That’s it. I remember making this sandwich once and a friend made some sort of…

  • Space Dandy

    Shinichiro Watanabe’s new series, Space Dandy, has started, and although I wasn’t particularly excited by the trailers, I was still going to watch this because it’s by Watanabe. After one episode, although I loved the crazy sudden ending, I’m not that sold on the setting and especially the main characters – not getting a Cowboy…

  • Orphan Black

    I kept hearing really good things about this series, and so finally decided to give it a go, and I’m sure glad I did. I’m only 2 episodes in (of a 10-episode first season) and really digging the slow reveal of what is really happening here – as the main character starts discovering clones of…

  • Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force

    I love pinball, I love Zen Pinball 2, and I especially love the Star Wars tables. I recently got the second set of SW tables that were released for the game, Balance of the Force, and wow. I truly believe that these are the best Star Wars games that have come out in years. I…
