The Leftovers review: “Guest”
The last time The Leftovers did an episode focused on just one character, it was the superlative “Two Boats and a Helicopter.” The show’s sixth episode “Guest” put the spotlight….

Halt and Catch Fire review: “1984”
Margaux and I say goodbye to Halt and Catch Fire‘s debut season. Thanks for sticking with us, it’s been a blast writing these reviews, and we hope you’ve enjoyed reading….
True Blood review: “May Be The Last Time”
True Blood, for the most part, has been firing on all cylinders this season. “May Be The Last Time” is another solid entry, although it’s not without its problem spots…..
Crossbones review: “Crossbones” / “Blackbeard”
When Crossbones wants to be a pirate show, it’s a damn good one. Maybe they should make me showrunner for season two: “Okay, John, I want you to really Malkovich….
Tyrant review: “What the World Needs Now”
So my question for Tyrant is, who is the titular ruler? It’s not Khaled, because he died in episode one. It’s not Barry, because he’s not President. Well, is it….

Halt and Catch Fire review: “Up Helly Aa”
Only two episodes left of Halt and Catch Fire for Margaux and I to discuss. Read on to see how we felt about “Up Helly Aa.” Trevor: We talk a….

True Blood review: “Karma”
“Karma” was definitely a transitional episode of True Blood. The whole hour carried a vibe of “Tune in next week!” but for the most part it worked, due to a….
Crossbones review: “Beggarman”
“Beggarman” was probably the best episode of Crossbones to date. It’s remarkable that the show was able to pull this off, considering that Blackbeard was largely absent from the proceedings,….
Flashback review: Once Upon a Time, season 1
Apparently someone replaced my brain with that of a 20-year-old girl’s, because I spent the better part of the last week binge watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix, and….
