The River
The River has a style unlike anything else on television, thanks to an ironclad devotion to its found-footage ethos.
by Chris Heller
Smash
Despite a promising concept and boffo musical numbers, NBC's Smash has a serious ham problem.
by Phillip Maciak
Luck
HBO's infuriatingly but genuinely moving Luck goes for the premium-cable holy grail of a narrative without shortcuts.
by Phillip Maciak
Archer
Archer's implicit ability to be at once categorically preposterous and occasionally brilliant has become its calling card.

Unsupervised
It seems impossible to watch Unsupervised and not think of Beavis and Butt-Head.
by Chris Cabin
Justified
The theme of bloodlines newly woven and long-kindred continues to run through Justified like an un-damable river.

by Chris Heller
House of Lies
House of Lies relies on the strength of its performers to convince the audience that there's something beneath its surface.

Californication's resolve to find a fresh approach for the series wherever it may be sacrifices some of the show's strengths.
by Jonathan Pacheco
Portlandia
Portlandia has become the Sleater-Kinney of comedy.
by Phillip Maciak
The Office
There's still time for The Office to take a much-deserved bow before having completely tarnished its legacy.
