‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ 1×06 Review: “Zoey’s Extraordinary Night Out”

Something strange happened as I watched Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×06 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Night Out.” I found myself not just vaguely enjoying it, but actually investing. Not just in Simon’s very relatable pain, but in Mo’s brand of friendship, in Zoey’s…

‘Outlander’ 5×05 Review: “Perpetual Adoration”

Outlander 5×05 “Perpetual Adoration” introduces the long-awaited Adso the cat, who absolutely steals the hour, but it also gives us one of the best Bree/Roger moments the show has seen so far, as well as a scene with Jamie and…

‘Elite’ Season 3: Why is the Netflix show such a phenomenon?

It took me a while to get into Elite, I’ll admit. It didn’t appeal to me for the same reason it appeals to most US viewers – there’s nothing cool or exotic about Spanish speaking shows for me, with my…

‘Outlander’ 5×05 Advanced Review: “Perpetual Adoration”

Outlander 5X05 “Perpetual Adoration” picks up the pace plot-wise, and oh yes, it brings some cute surprises along the way, but it still mostly seems to be setup on top of setup with a cute side-serving of yes, you guessed…

‘Briarpatch’ 1×05 Review: “Behind God’s Back”

I wish I could say Briarpatch was getting better, but Briarpatch 1×05 “Behind God’s Back” is just more of the same confusing, wannabe edgy narrative that makes it very, very hard to actually connect to anyone. At least till the…

‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ 1×05 Review: “Zoey’s Extraordinary Failure”

For a moment or two there, during Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1×05 “Zoey’s Extraordinary Failure,” I really, really felt this show. The whole notion of failure, and how we must all deal with it is a very interesting subject that hits…

‘Outlander’ 5×04 Review: “The Company We Keep”

Outlander 5×04 “The Company We Keep” continues the setup trend, but it does so in the way we don’t actually mind: with enough attention paid to Jamie and Claire, with emotion and with the promise of other characters that we…

Grey’s Anatomy Shocker of an exit for Alex Karev: We react, in gifs

Sometimes there isn’t much you can say. And sometimes, whatever you say is just …not gonna cut it. How are we going to explain the feeling of seeing Grey’s Anatomy write out Alex Karev by, after ten years, making reunite…

‘Outlander’ 5×04 Advanced Review: ”The Company We Keep”

Outlander 5×04 “The Company We Keep” is peak early in the season Outlander: full of setup and foreboding, and yet managing to interrupt the sense of doom and gloom by giving the characters we love a chance to shine in…

‘Party of Five’ 1×10 Review: “Diaspora”

Party of Five 1×10 “Diaspora” is a truly emotional experience, the exclamation point in a complete and dare I say it – almost perfect – season, with very few missteps and many more lessons than we ever expected. This was…

Mac is Back: Catherine Bell to Reprise Role on NCISLA

Last time we saw Mac (seems like a long time ago, but it was THIS season premiere on NCISLA) we didn’t exactly get all the answers we wanted. Or like, much answers in general. Which, of course, left us thinking…

‘Briarpatch’ 1×04 Review: “Breadknife Weather”

Briarpatch 1×04 “Breadknife Weather” is the same brand of confusing as the last episode, as the show itself has become. Something is supposedly going on – many somethings. People are crooked, some extra crooked, but not Allegra, no. She’s the…

‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ 1×04 Review: “Zoey’s Extraordinary Neighbor”

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist turned a corner last week, after the first two episodes failed to consistently deliver the emotional punch I required. In “Zoey’s Extraordinary Neighbor” the show once again leans on its strongest characters to deliver an episode that…

‘Outlander’ 5×03 Review: “Free Will”

Outlander 5×03 “Free Will” is a better, more compelling episode than “Between Two Fires,” there’s no doubt about that. And yet it still feels like the show is running on fumes, like they’re saving all the good, emotional stuff for…

‘All The Bright Places’ Review: From Bright to Not So Bright

‘Outlander’ 5×03 Advanced Review: “Free Will”

Outlander 5×03 “Free Will” picks up the pace from a slow “Between Two Fires,” if not plot wise, at least emotionally. It helps, of course, that Jamie and Claire are together again, and that the episode isn’t happening on two…

Party of Five 1×09 Review: “Mexico”

The first season of Party of Five has been many things: insightful, real, and emotional. It has hardly been surprising, though, not that it had to be. This family has dealt with the issues we expected them to deal with,…
