Hannibal review: “Ko No Mono”

Rosemary’s Baby miniseries review: “Part One”
Samir and I double down on NBC’s miniseries version of Rosemary’s Baby. Margaux: Not all reboots/updates/remakes are created equal or with any sort of consideration for its source material. It’s generally….
Veep review: “Detroit”

Louie review: “Back” / “Model”
Louie is back after an excruciating 18-month wait, and thankfully it’s as weird, hilarious, awkward, and occasionally poignant as ever. It’s a truly singular creation; it’s structure doesn’t adhere to….
