The Ted Koppel Paradigm

We have lost something in the past few years. It is clear in the current fabric of media and journalism that we have lost accountability. We have lost the truth of news meaning anything beyond a quick splash that never…

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×07 Review: ‘Whitehall’

So, I have a lot of feelings about the events that took place in “Whitehall,” and almost all of them are about Scottie. The decisions that she has made throughout this entire series have been pretty questionable. but she reached…

‘Chicago P.D.’ 4×19 Review: “Last Minute Resistance”

On a show like Chicago P.D. where nearly all of its episodes are mind-blowing, there are episodes that really take it to another level. “Last Minute Resistance” was one of those episodes. On the surface this episode appeared to be…

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×06 Review: ‘Hostages’

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×05 Review: ‘Borealis 301’

So at lot more happened in “Borealis 301” than I was expecting. The plane hijacking really only took up about the first third of the episode, so the rest was spent on unraveling the mystery between Howard, Scottie, and Tom.…

‘Chicago P.D.’ 4×17 Review: “Remember the Devil”

With an episode title like “Remember the Devil,” was there ever any way that this episode was going to end well? The latest episode of Chicago P.D. delivered a thrilling, disturbing case while also managing to break me emotionally as…

Chicago Justice 1×05 Review: Friendly Fire

Some cases are open and shut. Others are more …let’s say grey. There are two sides to every story, and we very often get to hear the other side, or at least the other side’s attempts at defense in Chicago…

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×04 Review: ‘Operation Davenport’

In “Operation Davenport” last night, Scottie came extremely close to finding out who Tom was, until Howard stepped in to trick her at the last minute. She found Tom’s adoptive parents and went to speak with them, but Howard hired…

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×03 Review: ‘Independence U.S.A.’

So last night’s episode “Independence U.S.A.” delivered a revelation that could be huge, if proven true. After Nez and Tom completed their mission at the Russian military base, Tom met with his father who said that Scottie had been seriously…

Powerless 1×05 Review: Cold Season

The best thing I can say about Powerless is that it’s not as awful as I half-expected it to be after the second Pilot. With the disappointment at the loss of the next great comedy (WHY DID YOU HAVE TO…

Mandy Moore Added to the Cast of The Darkest Minds

Sorry, we’re having a little bit of a heart attack. Guys – we’ve made no secret that we’re obsessing over The Darkest Minds and can’t wait for this film. Now, we’re even more excited, because MANDY MOORE HAS BEEN ADDED…

The Blacklist: Redemption 1×02 Review: ‘Kevin Jensen’

So, I thoroughly enjoyed the second episode of Redemption, “Kevin Jensen.“ I was fully invested in the rescue of Kevin Jensen, because they managed to build up an emotional story around him that made you get attached to the character, even…

‘Chicago P.D.’ 4×16 Review: “Emotional Proximity”

One of the most beautiful things about television – and the arts in general – is the power that they command when it comes to emotions. Emotions are the foundation of the very lives we lead. Everything we do is…

Powerless 1×04 Review: 'Emily Dates a Henchman'

The thing that is so frustrating about Powerless is that when I watch it I’m reminded of the potential it had with its original pilot. The original direction and tone of the show presented Powerless as this comedy with substance.…

The Blacklist 4×15 Review: ‘The Apothecary’

I’m going to try and make this review as coherent as possible, because I’m still reeling from that winter finale. We knew “The Apothecary” was going to be extremely painful because Red has been poisoned and was slowly dying, but…

Chicago P.D. 4×15 Review: ‘Favor, Affection, Malice or Ill-Will’

When it comes to violence and murder, it’s very easy for good people to find themselves on the wrong side of the law. That’s where we found one father in Chicago P.D.’s latest hour as he solicited a murder of…

Timeless 1×16 Review: This is Not Goodbye

And not just because I refuse (though I refuse, I refuse, I refuse), but because it’s not fair. And okay, sometimes life is not fair. Sometimes television is not fair. But, in this day and age, especially with what’s going…
