I don’t know that So Help Me Todd 1×16 “Twelve Worried Persons” is the best episode of the season, though it has to be in the running. It is certainly one of the most fun episodes of the show thus…
‘True Lies’ 1×05 Review: “Unrelated Parents”
True Lies 1×05 “Unrelated Parents” might have been titled “Boy, teenagers sure are brats, aren’t they?” If one obnoxious teen wasn’t enough, this episode gave us another. No need to be so generous next time, show. Really. I insist. Parenting…
‘Up Here’ 1×06 Review: “Armor”
If “Labels” was Lindsay’s (Mae Whitman) chance to indulge her inner dumpster fire, Up Here 1×06 “Armor” gives Miguel (Carlos Valdes) his chance to shine. Burn? Whatever. He might be in the limelight, but Lindsay isn’t left out of the…
‘Up Here’ 1×05 Review: “Labels”
In Up Here 1×05 “Labels,” Lindsay (Mae Whitman) finally gives in to the voices in her head, listening to them more than she should. Well, one voice, at least. In her efforts to find herself in New York, she’s never…
‘Up Here’ 1×04 Review: “Special”
Up Here 1×04 “Special” is all about honesty. It’s the most important thing in any relationship – whether it’s a committed relationship or a “friends with benefits” situation. Honesty not just with your partner, but with yourself. If you can’t…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×17 Review: “Friendly Skies”
It’s hard to believe that Quantum Leap 1×17 “Friendly Skies” is the penultimate episode of the season. As I struggle to come to terms with that fact, Ben (Raymond Lee) has struggles of his own. Following Martinez’s (Walter Perez) betrayal…
‘Up Here’ 1×03 Review: “Signs”
Up Here 1×03 “Signs” is all about…well…signs. Signs two people are meant to be together. Signs they’re meant to be apart. Signs that maybe they should clean out their oven every once in a while. (Or at least look in…
‘Up Here’ 1×02 Review: “Miguel”
As expected, Up Here 1×02 “Miguel” was all about the other half of the couple in Hulu’s new rom-com series. In the premiere, the titular character, played by Carlos Valdes, appeared confident and smooth. Even if certain aspects of his…
‘Up Here’ 1×01 Review: “Lindsay”
Hulu’s Up Here is about finding yourself, in all your quirky oddity. It seems fitting, therefore, that Up Here 1×01 “Lindsay” feels like the series is trying to find itself. It isn’t a bad episode, but it feels like things…
‘True Lies’ 1×04 Review: “Rival Companions”
It isn’t easy to make new friends as an adult. In True Lies 1×04 “Rival Companions,” Helen (Ginger Gonzaga) goes looking for friendship where she perhaps shouldn’t. Putting her husband Harry (Steve Howey) on edge. And possibly in the line…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×16 Review: “Ben, Interrupted”
When I tell you this show is making me stressed. I went into Quantum Leap 1×16 “Ben, Interrupted” expecting…well, maybe not lighthearted fun, given the episode description. But I didn’t expect to be so tense. It’s only been a couple…
Hulu’s ‘Up Here’ May Fill The Void Left By ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’
For those fans still mourning the loss of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Hulu is offering a new show that may take away some of the sting. Its upcoming rom-com series Up Here, releasing March 24, isn’t exactly a successor to the…
Fans Mourn The Passing of Actor Lance Reddick
Fans were shocked on Friday at the news that Lance Reddick passed away from natural causes at the age of 60. The actor, whose work spanned over two decades, appeared in such popular series as The Wire, The West Wing,…
‘True Lies’ 1×03 Review: “Separate Pairs”
If you’re a spy, compartmentalizing your work and home lives is not only recommended, it may be necessary to survive. In True Lies 1×03 “Separate Pairs,” Helen learns about the necessity to compartmentalize. By people who are absolutely terrible at…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×15 Review: “Ben Song For The Defense”
Quantum Leap 1×15 “Ben Song for the Defense” is one of those episodes that you might be tempted to view as “filler.” But I’m skeptical that they’d waste any time, as close as they are to the season finale. Which…
‘True Lies’ 1×02 Review: “Public Secrets”
Secrets are instruments of the trade for spies, but they can really kill a marriage. True Lies 1×02 “Public Secrets” is all about secrets from Harry (Steve Howey) and Helen’s (Ginger Gonzaga) past. Specifically, about past relationships rearing their not-as-ugly-as-their-spouses-would-like…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×14 Review: “S.O.S.”
As much as I’ve loved the entire series to-date, Quantum Leap 1×14 “S.O.S.” is the kind of episode that resets the bar for how good the show can be. Adding a dash of War Games to the series formula, it…
‘So Help Me Todd’ 1×14 Review: “Against All Todds”
If last week’s episode was one of my favorites of the season, So Help Me Todd 1×14 “Against All Todds” felt like something of a step backward. Yes, Margaret (Marcia Gay Harden) had a bit of a personal revelation and…
‘True Lies’ 1×01 Review: “Pilot”
As a fan of the movie by the same title, True Lies 1×01 “Pilot” is one of the most anticipated series premieres of the season. A show about a bored housewife who gets dragged into shenanegans when she discovers her…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×13 Review: “Family Style”
Quantum Leap 1×13 “Family Style” deals with two (often conflicting) issues: how we perceive – and are perceived by – family, and how we perceive ourselves. To that extent, it was both cathartic and a little frustrating. But, then, isn’t…
Why We’re Excited Brandon Routh Is Joining Quantum Leap
Have I mentioned how much I love Quantum Leap? Because I really, really do. Almost as much as I love Brandon Routh. So imagine my excitement to hear that Routh will be joining one of my favorite shows on television…
