‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×22 Review: To Jake And Amy

Guys, we made it. After five long, arduous seasons of will-they-won’t-they, after Sophias and undercover missions, after mob bosses and Florida, hell, even after jail, we finally made it. Jake and Amy are married. And I am still a crying…

‘Barry’ 1×08 Review: Starting Now

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×21 Review: White Whales & Vindication

Like a beautiful phoenix rising from its ashes, like Jesus himself coming back to life after his death, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has resurfaced from its cancellation fate and brought back by our now true lord and savior, NBC. Seriously, they have…

#SAVEB99: Why ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Deserves To Be Picked Up

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been cancelled, and everything is most definitely not okay. To quote Community’s always on-point Abed, we are living in the darkest timeline. I know what you’re going to say. So many shows deserve to be renewed and…

‘Barry’ 1×07 Review: You’re A Real Actor Now

Multi-chaptered, thousand page books could and should be written about what Alec Berg, Bill Hader and the cast, crew and writers of Barry’s seventh episode delivered to us in 30 minutes of utterly brilliant, screen and soul consuming storytelling. It’s…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×20 Review: “Show Me Going”

If the last couple Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes have taught us anything, it’s that this show does comedy remarkably well. We already knew this. We’ve known for years. But the brilliant thing about this ensemble comedy is it’s admirable capacity to…

‘Barry’ 1×06 Review: Read The Room

A hero who can’t seem to catch a break is the main ingredient in any story. It’s the perfectly complex situation to place your characters in, the writing gold mine you wish you could submerge your characters in constantly. Because…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×19 Review: Elite Party Squads

Few shows manage to sustain a hilariously consistent tone throughout their entire run. Even fewer manage to run for five years without having ups and downs in their writing. Brooklyn Nine-Nine isn’t one of those shows. There’s an amazing quality…

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Spoilery Review: Thanos Will Return

When Marvel released The Avengers roughly ten years ago, it seemed like the event of a lifetime. It was. Our favorite superheroes together, uniting despite their differences and their possible initial dislike of each other, to “fight the battles that…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×18 Review: Women CAN Support Women

It’s getting increasingly harder to rank the latest Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes from funniest to least funniest. This second half of season five has been so steadily hilarious, the lines begin to blur when we try and figure out which, exactly,…

‘Barry’ 1×05: Except

Barry is irredeemable. He murders people for a living, he follows orders seemingly without questioning them first. He takes hits on people, he kills them in the most brutal ways. He is never going to be able to have a…

‘Barry’ 1×04 Review: Not Even A Person

What a great week this has been to be a Bill Hader enthusiast. Not only was the news of Barry’s season two renewal on HBO the greatest, but if you’ve been paying attention, it looks like Bill Hader is in…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×16 & 5×17 Review: I Want It That Way

Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s double episode seemed to open a whole lot of storylines for a show that’s still waiting for a season 6 renewal. On one hand, “NutriBoom” seemed to set up a pretty established big baddie that low-key threatened Jake and Amy’s…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×15 Review: Eat A Jerk, Pal!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has the healthiest relationships on television right now. Actually, it has the healthiest relationships in the history of television, ever. It’s probably due to the fact that its genre —a comedy— allows them to bypass the drama and…

‘Barry’ 1×03 Review: Surrender To The Soup

Barry is a rollercoaster. There is no other way to describe the amazingly written, award-worthy incredible piece of storytelling that is this show. Every week we think this show is going somewhere, and while tonally and cinematographically it remains pretty…

‘Barry’ 1×02 Review: This Isn’t ‘Cheers’

If Barry’s pilot was anything to go by, we expected a certain structure to episodes, almost like a hit-of-the-week formula where we’d see Barry try to juggle his hitman life with his newly found love of acting. We imagined a gruesome death…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×14 Review: Three Oh Damn’s!

Bottle episodes are not always the best. They’re there to fill in gaps, and usually, the physical limitations of production work against the show. Unless the writers have been able to sustain actual character storylines and development throughout the season,…

‘Barry’ 1×01 Review: Make Your Mark

HBO’s new show is an incredibly exciting one. There, I said it. Alec Berg (Silicon Valley) and Bill Hader have teamed up to write and direct a refreshing, 30 minute television show that simultaneously baffles and confuses you, and yet…

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×13 Review: Scorpion’s Gonna Scorp

This week’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine had a lot to tackle. Probably one of the show’s fastest-paced episodes ever, it surprised us with a beloved foe returning and a weirdly delicious friendship intriguing us. Plus, it featured the return of the Official Rosa…
