The hits just keep on coming. This time, with Pearson. We’ll be the first to say the first season of Pearson was uneven – too much Bobby Novak at times, too much setup in general – but the show, like so many others, deserved much better than this. Not justRead More →
Pearson ends season one in a supremely high SEE OMG WHAT IS JUST HAPPENING WAIT DID IT END THERE note, with an episode aptly titled “The Fixer,” and let me start this review by taking a moment to say: I told you so. Because I’ve been telling you so forRead More →
As Pearson’s “The Rival” so clearly showed us, it’s awfully hard to change the world. In fact, sometimes, it feels almost impossible. Especially coming from the place Angela is coming from, a place of being beaten down so many times, a place of feeling like you’re never enough to provideRead More →
I’ve talked about this subject plenty of times before. Some of you might say I’ve talked about this subject too many times, that I need to find a new soapbox, and if you’re one of those, then I’m sorry, because I’m about to go into it again, and I don’tRead More →
Pearson turns a definite corner in “The Immigration Lawyer,” not in regards to Jessica – the only part of the show that’s always worked – or even in regards to other characters, who sometimes work by themselves, but almost always work in relation to Jessica, but in general, in theRead More →
At some point, Pearson is going to have to make a choice. For me, right now, after “The Donor,” that choice is clear: Dump Bobby Novak. And I don’t even mean dump him completely as in fire the actor, he can stay in the background. Just stop trying to makeRead More →
Pearson has a Bobby problem, and though “The Former City Attorney” tries valiantly to face that problem head on, at the end of the day, we are left in the same place we were when we started watching the show – with Bobby dead last on our list of charactersRead More →
For three episodes, we’ve sorta dangled on the edge of a precipice, ready to fall in love with Pearson completely and irrevocably. “The Deputy Mayor” does nothing to push us off the cliff, but it doesn’t exactly drag us back, either. If anything, it just allows us to stay there,Read More →
…of a beautiful show. During the first two episodes, Pearson did a lot right, especially in setting up Jessica Pearson, as, well… Jessica Pearson, someone we should continue to care about. It didn’t give us many more people to care about, but the second episode at least introduced the possibilityRead More →
Now, that’s more like it. “The Superintendent” isn’t necessarily a brilliant hour of television – no more so than the first episode, at least – but it does a whole lot better than the Pilot about making us care about someone other than the wonderful lady who gives this showRead More →
I have maintained a love/hate relationship with Suits for many, many years. I loved it at first, loved the characters, felt very connected to the environment. I hated it at times, too, hated how I felt like the plot was stringing me along, how the writers were purposefully keeping whatRead More →
