I’m pretty torn on this episode. For every step that “Grotesque” takes in the right direction – and there are a few – it spends twice as much time indulging in Fear the Walking...

Preacher: “The Possibilities”
As far as Preacher episodes go, “The Possibilities” didn’t quite reach the heights of last week’s wonderful “See.” But it did something nearly as impressive. “Possibilities” was interested mainly in cultivating atmosphere. This is the episode...

Feed the Beast: “Pilot Light”
Chefs are all the rage right now. In the wake of films like Chef and Burnt, it was inevitable that a small-screen narrative would arise to tap into this zeitgeist (or fad, whichever you’d like). AMC beat everyone...

Fear the Walking Dead: “Shiva”
Man, what a letdown. Fear the Walking Dead made some real progress this season, and turned in episodes that ranked among the best of the series (“We All Fall Down,” “Blood In the Streets”). “Shiva,” sadly,...

Preacher: “Pilot”
I’ve never read the graphic novels upon which AMC’s new show Preacher is based, so I have no idea how faithful the show is. What I do know is that in its 90-minute premiere, Preacher is able to...

The Night Manager: “Episode One”
So, does Tom Hiddleston want to be James Bond? His name has been mentioned more than once (alongside perennial contenders Idris Elba and Clive Owen), and a case could certainly be made for it:...

Better Call Saul: “Klick”
Margaux and I bid farewell to a damn good season of Better Call Saul. Trevor: It’s amazing to me – and we’ll talk about this more later – how one AMC show could so badly bungle...

Fear the Walking Dead: “We All Fall Down”
I hate to start my review with a groan-worthy nautical pun, but it appears as though Fear the Walking Dead is making a major course-correction with its second season. There are still some problem spots, and...

Better Call Saul: “Nailed”
Margaux and I look back at last night’s excellent Better Call Saul. Trevor: I think Better Call Saul’s slow-burn approach to storytelling really paid off in “Nailed.” It’s quite impressive, the patience that Vince Gilligan and...
