Gotham: “Beasts of Prey”

T. Dawson April 14, 2015

I don’t understand network TV, I really don’t. I guess it’s just normal to take a six-week break for some reason? At this rate it’s going to take Gotham a year to finish its...

Marvel’s Daredevil: “Into the Ring”

T. Dawson April 10, 2015

Louie: “Pot Luck”

T. Dawson April 10, 2015

Season four of Louie played like a Woody Allen film written by Louis C.K. It was a strange, melancholy romantic comedy, best represented by multi-episode arcs like “Elevator” and “Pamela.” With “Pot Luck,” the...

Bloodline: “Part 13”

T. Dawson April 9, 2015

“Part 12” was Bloodline‘s finest hour, and it also killed off its most interesting character, so I guess a little bit of disappointment with “Part 13” was to be expected. It’s almost impossible to...
