True Detective: “Other Lives”

T. Dawson July 20, 2015

That two-month time jump might have been the best possible thing for True Detective‘s second season. After all, how do you follow up a sequence like last week’s breathless shootout? But more than that, it’s...

Steven Universe “Friend Ship”

B. Simmons July 18, 2015

You know, I’m happy Steven Bomb 3 is ending. It’s kind of exhausting to have something every day like that in addition to all of the every day things in my life. And also,...

Steven Universe “Historical Friction”

B. Simmons July 17, 2015

Well, Jamie’s back in today’s Steven Universe, and he managed to beat his record too. Only ten episodes between appearances. This leaves me wondering whether he can go for the hat trick. Anyway, he’s...

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll: “Don’t Wanna Die Anonymous”

T. Dawson July 17, 2015

There’s a point in “Don’t Wanna Die Anonymous,” the series premiere of FX’s new show Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, where everything makes sense. It comes after the cold open, much of which is shot documentary-style and features no less...

Wayward Pines: “A Reckoning”

T. Dawson July 17, 2015

Wayward Pines has effectively bifurcated its season, separating it into two halves, both of which take place on one side of “The Truth” (which might be my favorite episode of television in 2015). Before that...

Steven Universe “Onion Friend”

Steven Universe “Cry for Help”

B. Simmons July 14, 2015

So, I guess when I wasn’t looking, they decided to Stevenbomb us again. I have to ask, is this how it’s going to be? Ridiculous downtime punctuated by a week of new episodes? I...

Halt and Catch Fire: “Working for the Clampdown”

T. Dawson July 13, 2015

Margaux and I talk a frustrating, depressing, but altogether satisfying Halt and Catch Fire. Trevor: Man, I knew Jacob would turn out to be a fuckin’ weasel. Too bad, too, because Joe played it remarkably straight...
