I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from Briarpatch’s pilot, officially titled “First Time in Saint Disgrace,” or from the series in general. What I do know is I didn’t expect this episode to revolve around escaped zoo animals. What…

Decade Roundtable: Our Best Ships Of The Decade
Ships. We live and die by them. Ships are amazing and teach us so much about relationships. They teach us about love and life. Our ships of the decade, are mostly – well all around television. We love so many…
‘Pearson’ Cancelled at USA And We’re Angry
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…
‘Suits’ Series Finale Review: That Was When I Ruled the World
One last con indeed. In the end, the most revolutionary thing Suits did, the most groundbreaking, and the most radical, was give us not just the ending we wanted, but the ending we deserved. Let’s call a spade a spade:…
‘Pearson’ 1×10 Review: I’m Done Being Your Errand Girl
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…
‘Suits’ 9×09 Review: The Beginning of the End
“Thunder Away” isn’t really a stand-alone episode, so it’s hard to think of it as such, or review it as if it were just one story-line with a clear beginning, middle, and end. “Thunder Away” is the beginning of the…
‘Pearson’ 1×09 Review: How to Change the World
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,…
‘Suits’ 9×08 Review: Life Comes at You Fast
This was a hard episode of Suits to watch, and an even harder one to review. There was, of course, the tension of a very well executed story-line, as “Prisoner’s dilemma” brought us back to Mike’s time in jail, and…
‘Pearson’ 1×08 Review: Why Representation Matters
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…
‘Suits’ 9×07 Review: Who We Are
Suits goes deep into the question of who exactly Harvey, Samantha and even Louis are, as “Scenic Route” moves the show along the path to a conclusion we’re not exactly sure we want anymore. But then again, they always say…
‘Pearson’ 1×07 Review: The Biggest, Baddest Operator Around
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…
‘Pearson’ 1×06 Review: Same old, Same old
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…
‘Suits’ 9×06 Review: Whatever it Takes, like the Avengers
Family is… well, complicated. You love your family, after all. And your love isn’t conditioned to what they do or how they behave. You just love them. Even when they’re being stupid, even when they’re deliberately obtuse. Even when they…
‘Pearson’ 1×05 Review: The Bobby Problem
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…
‘Suits’ 9×05 Review: Welcome back, Mike Ross
We’ve really, really missed you. Of course, the entirety of the firm whose name I can’t even remember at this point could somehow be considered part of the proverbial we, though it’s obvious that the one person who’s missed you…
‘Pearson’ 1×04 Review: Building on Something Good
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,…
‘Suits’ 9×04 Review: Kiss Our Ass, Or Kiss Our Asses Goodbye
If you’d asked me last year what was going on, why Suits wasn’t taking the plunge with Darvey, I would have probably gone on a rant about male showrunners, but in the end, I would have probably landed on: they…
‘Pearson’ 1×03 Review: This Could be the Beginning
…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…
‘Suits’ 9×03 Review: The Faye of All Problems
Look, I haven’t wanted to go deep with the Faye of it all, because honestly, is Faye the most important thing in this show right now? Not by a longshot. She might be the most disruptive force, and she’s certainly…
‘Pearson’ 1×02 Review: Now We’re Talking
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…
‘Suits’ 9×02 Review: Team Darvey and The Rest
You can say that Suits has changed after, you know, all the banging Harvey and Donna have now done, which hey, they were making up for lost time. But the fact of the matter is, the show hasn’t really changed,…
