It’s been a hell of a rollercoaster season for the Nine-Nine. It was a year tainted with cancellation rumors that had the fandom on edge like it’d never been. We wanted to enjoy the episodes, yes, but checking the ratings…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×22 Review: To Jake And Amy
Guys, we made it. After five long, arduous seasons of will-they-won’t-they, after Sophias and undercover missions, after mob bosses and Florida, hell, even after jail, we finally made it. Jake and Amy are married. And I am still a crying…
FOX Unveils Fall 2018 Schedule
FOX was the latest network to unveil its Fall 2018 schedule, which includes a new-look Monday and Tuesday, as well as some familiar lineups. Mondays and Tuesdays will get a new look as The Resident moves to Mondays at 8…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×21 Review: White Whales & Vindication
Like a beautiful phoenix rising from its ashes, like Jesus himself coming back to life after his death, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has resurfaced from its cancellation fate and brought back by our now true lord and savior, NBC. Seriously, they have…
NBC Plays Superhero, Saves 'Brooklyn 99' From Cancellation
Who says superheroes only exist on The CW? Following FOX’s ridiculously stupid move to cancel Brooklyn 99, a smart and diverse comedy that television needs more of, NBC swooped in late Friday night to save the show from cancellation. Brooklyn…
#SAVEB99: Why ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Deserves To Be Picked Up
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been cancelled, and everything is most definitely not okay. To quote Community’s always on-point Abed, we are living in the darkest timeline. I know what you’re going to say. So many shows deserve to be renewed and…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×20 Review: “Show Me Going”
If the last couple Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes have taught us anything, it’s that this show does comedy remarkably well. We already knew this. We’ve known for years. But the brilliant thing about this ensemble comedy is it’s admirable capacity to…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×19 Review: Elite Party Squads
Few shows manage to sustain a hilariously consistent tone throughout their entire run. Even fewer manage to run for five years without having ups and downs in their writing. Brooklyn Nine-Nine isn’t one of those shows. There’s an amazing quality…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×18 Review: Women CAN Support Women
It’s getting increasingly harder to rank the latest Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes from funniest to least funniest. This second half of season five has been so steadily hilarious, the lines begin to blur when we try and figure out which, exactly,…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×16 & 5×17 Review: I Want It That Way
Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s double episode seemed to open a whole lot of storylines for a show that’s still waiting for a season 6 renewal. On one hand, “NutriBoom” seemed to set up a pretty established big baddie that low-key threatened Jake and Amy’s…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×15 Review: Eat A Jerk, Pal!
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has the healthiest relationships on television right now. Actually, it has the healthiest relationships in the history of television, ever. It’s probably due to the fact that its genre —a comedy— allows them to bypass the drama and…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×14 Review: Three Oh Damn’s!
Bottle episodes are not always the best. They’re there to fill in gaps, and usually, the physical limitations of production work against the show. Unless the writers have been able to sustain actual character storylines and development throughout the season,…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×13 Review: Scorpion’s Gonna Scorp
This week’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine had a lot to tackle. Probably one of the show’s fastest-paced episodes ever, it surprised us with a beloved foe returning and a weirdly delicious friendship intriguing us. Plus, it featured the return of the Official Rosa…
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ 5×12 Review: Let’s Talk About Kevin
Brooklyn Nine-Nine returned last night with its twelfth episode after three long, agonizing months of hiatus. Arguably not the best set-up for any show to return to air. In those months, fans had time to speculate, guess, and hypothesize as…
‘The X-Files’ 11×07 Review: Who The Hell is Scott?
Don’t you feel like we’re on a train to Shitsville and no matter what we do, no matter how comfortable the ride is, no matter how many tasty snacks they give us along the way, or how much they string…
‘The X-Files’ 11×04 Review: To Find Each Other
Well, that was weird, and out there and still so much better than Chris Carter’s platonic musings or medical rape, because at this point, anything and everything is better than the BS Carter is still trying to feed us twenty…
‘The X-Files’ 11×03 Review: Platonic my arse
I’m going to start this review with a caveat, and I want to be really, really clear here. Just because you’re coming across a mostly positive review about a pretty decent episode of a show that changed my life, introduced…
The Gifted 1×12/1×13 Review: It’s The End of The World As We Know It
The Gifted goes for broke in its two-hour Season 1 finale *belts out REM’s It’s the End of the World as We Know It*, and as it’s been the case thorough the whole of its first season, we really, really…
‘The X-Files’ 11×01 Review: Our Struggle
Chris Carter has a thing for repeating titles, as “My Struggle III” will attest to (and Redux II, The Sixth Extinction II, Nothing Important Happened Today II, etc). He also has a thing for complicated plot lines no one cares…
‘The Gifted’ 1×10 Review: Hello Stakes
When Marvel announced a new TV spinoff, and introduced the idea for The Gifted, a show about the mutants we don’t really know, about the non-famous X-Men, as it were, it sounded intriguing. But, unlike DC, which has made DCTV…
‘The Gifted’ 1×08 Review: The End Justifies The Means
I have two questions for The Gifted. No, actually, I have like 45 questions, but I only have two really important ones that, with two episodes till the end of the season, I need the show to answer right now.…
