Gotham: “Under the Knife”
“Under the Knife” was a mostly dull, inconsequential episode of Gotham, although I will admit that it took steps towards making two of its worst characters more interesting. The problem with this….

Marvel’s Daredevil: “The Ones We Leave Behind”
Deborah Ann Woll does some great wordless acting in the cold open of this episode of Daredevil. The show is intent on showing the consequences of killing and of violence; it doesn’t….
Mad Men: “The Forecast”
For a show that’s so rooted in the past – not just stylistically but thematically as well – it was refreshing to see Mad Men take a look to the future. Even….
Game of Thrones: “The House of Black and White”
Game of Thrones has so many characters and A-, B-, and C-plots that it could easily spend the entirety of season five telling us what everyone’s up to after season four…..
Marvel’s Daredevil: “The Path of the Righteous”
It’s strange that Daredevil could go ten hours before one of television’s dreaded “transition episodes.” Part of that is due to the breathless pace that she show has established, and another part….
Marvel’s Daredevil: “Nelson v. Murdock”
It’s important to deal with the fallout of Foggy finding out about Matt’s nocturnal activities, and right away this is a tricky proposition, because “fallout” episodes usually rank somewhere below….

Marvel’s Daredevil: “Shadows in the Glass”
On the heels of “Stick,” which acted as an origin story for Matt Murdock, Daredevil gives us “Shadows in the Glass,” which acts as an origin story for Wilson Fisk, and Jesus Christ is….
Arrow: “Broken Arrow”
Man, I’m glad Arrow has a “previously on,” because I remembered approximately nothing of the last episode. In my defense, I’ve spent that time watching Bloodline and Daredevil, and also it’s apparently cool to just go….
Marvel’s Daredevil: “Stick”
“Stick” seems to be the closest thing we’ll get to an origin story on Daredevil. In a way, I kind of hope we don’t learn much more about Matt Murdock’s past. The….
Justified: “The Promise”
Series finales, especially for a show like Justified, are always tricky. The temptation to go out in a blaze of gunfire must be nigh-impossible to resist, so its that much more commendable….
Community: “Basic Email Security”
For a show that has long been steeped in absurdity, I’m surprised at how adept Community is as satire. “Basic Email Security” asks some pretty heady questions, and true to the nihilistic….
