Friday Night Lights makes a notable return to form with an episode that sees a number of storylines converging as the writers’ plan for the rest of the season starts to come into focus.
The Wire’s street characters were busy as ever this week.
Compared to a lot of fans and commentators, I think I’ve been pretty charitable toward the second season of the show, but charity has its limits.
By the end of “Unconfirmed Reports,” all of the pieces for The Wire’s final season are on the board.
With the game out of the way and their coach headed for the unemployment line, it’s a safe bet that we’ve seen the last of the Laribee Lions story arc.
Each season of The Wire has introduced us to a different Baltimore institution.
I have some mild reservations about where Riggins’ storyline is going, but no matter what, I’m really looking forward to seeing Taylor Kitsch step up as an actor.
After being MIA for two weeks, Jason Street returns with what may very well be the dumbest plot point the show has ever asked the audience to swallow.
As the title suggests, this week’s episode is all about the relationships, a focus that’s established before the end of the teaser.
This is a perfectly servicable episode of Friday Night Lights, accompanied though it may be by a faint whiff of filler.
The more I write about this episode, the more impressed I am with the amount of characterization that was packed in.
With Coach Taylor back where he belongs, at home with Tami and at the helm of the Panthers, the show serves up its most season one-line season two episode yet.
It’s rare to see a Panther game at the top of an episode, and perhaps rarer still for one to take up so little screen time.
The divisive Landry-Tyra plotline recedes into the background for a week as the Panthers take to the gridiron at last for their first game of the 2007 season.
Mad Men ends its first season on one hell of a high note, with what is probably the series’s most Sopranos-esque episode yet.
Kennedy and Nixon, in the context of this episode, represent dueling visions of America that have been dividing our country for more than 200 years.
The Tyra/Landry scenes, I’m pleased to report, are about as good as they could be.
I’m a little divided about the new credits sequence, which adds a more explicitly jubilant note but also seems just a little too energetic.
Pete has the gun in his hand—now, the question is how much damage he can do with it.
This week’s episode was particularly notable where geeky continuity-oriented details are concerned.
