The Slap: “Harry”

T. Dawson February 20, 2015

First of all, let me apologize, because at the end of last week’s review of The Slap I mentioned that this episode would be “Anouk,” because that’s what came up when I Googled it....

T. Dawson February 19, 2015

There’s a great moment in the cold open of “Dimebag,” another predictably great episode of The Americans. Phillip and Elizabeth ask Paige who she wants to have over for her birthday dinner. “Pastor Jim...

Arrow: “The Return”

T. Dawson February 19, 2015

For an episode that featured Oliver in almost every scene, “The Return” was really all about Thea Queen. It was a flashback episode in every sense of the phrase; even the present-day scenes took...

Justified: “Sounding”

T. Dawson February 18, 2015

“Sounding” was a pretty damn whiz-bang episode of Justified, throwing in pretty much everything you want out of FX’s Southern-fried noir. We got Raylan acting like a dick and lecturing (as is his wont),...

The Slap: “Hector”

T. Dawson February 13, 2015

Honestly, NBC had me at “Zachary Quinto slaps a kid.” I’d watch the hell out of that, cause kids are super annoying (especially this one, which we’ll get to in a bit). But that’s...

Backstrom Ep. 4 – “I Am A Bird Now”

J. Luis February 13, 2015

Backstrom “I Am A Bird Now” has no idea what it wants to be as an episode. I’m going to refrain from saying the show as a whole is terrible as it’s far too...

Justified: “The Trash and the Snake”

T. Dawson February 11, 2015

Did you see the way Boyd was looking at Ava while she slept? He knows something, or at the very least he suspects. Walton Goggins says so much with just a look, and it...
