Like many people, I watch a lot of true crime. I don’t know why the genre is so popular. I’ve heard a theory that many women, at least, tend to be drawn to true crime because it gives us a…
‘Up Here’ 1×08 Review: “Y2K”
What happens when two messes finally figure themselves out enough to make their relationship work? We find out in Up Here 1×08 “Y2K.” Well…to an extent. After the ill-considered kiss in the previous episode, Lindsay (Mae Whitman) and Miguel (Carlos…
‘Up Here’ 1×07 Review: “Baggage”
Everyone carries some kind of relationship baggage, but Up Here’s Miguel and Lindsay seem to carry more than most.
‘So Help Me Todd’ 1×16 Review: “Twelve Worried Persons”
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’ 1×04 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…
