Legends review: “Pilot”
Sean Bean lives through the whole hour. There, now that we’ve got the Internet-mandated shitty joke out of the way, we can talk about Legends, Bean’s much-ballyhooed return to television…..

The Bridge review: “Harvest of Souls”
This was hands-down the best episode to date of The Bridge‘s second season – and that’s saying a lot, because this season has been pretty damn good for the most….
Tyrant review: “Meet the New Boss”
“Meet the New Boss” was a surprisingly enjoyable episode of Tyrant. Barry’s decision to remove Jamal from office has given this show a serious shot of life, which it sorely….
The Strain review: “Runaways”
When the audio on my Comcast cable box went out unexpectedly on Sunday, I was relieved to not have to watch The Strain this week; I’m a size snob and….

Under the Dome review: “In the Dark”
Under the Dome is going to give me a goddamn aneurysm. “In the Dark” was a better episode than last week’s “Reconciliation,” but that’s an unfair comparison because “Reconciliation” was….
The Strain review: “It’s Not For Everyone”
Not sure if FX is speaking directly to me or trying their hand at passive-aggressive Easter eggs with last nights episode title, “It’s Not For Everyone” but I’ll give The….
