‘Da Vinci’s Demons’ Season 1, Episode 7 Review – Trial By Water

Leonardo da Vinci has not been seen in Florence for two entire episodes now and Da Vinci’s Demons is suddenly an adventure series because of it. Sure, it’s still a deeply flawed adventure series, but at least things are happening beyond da Vinci’s involvement with the Medicis and it feels like the story is progressing (albeit at a very deliberate pace) toward the storyline the … [Read more...]

‘Hannibal’ Season 1, Episode 7 Review – Palate Cleanser

As an episode title, ‘Sorbet’ may be the best that Hannibal has offered so far, in terms of the series’ clever marriage of its own gruesome premise and the refined, decadent tastes of the culinary world. Additionally, considering its use as a palate cleanser between courses, sorbet also sets the tempo for the episode, working almost as a one-off digression into Hannibal’s … [Read more...]

‘Supernatural’ Season 8, Episode 22 Review – Crowley’s Vengeance

This week, writer Andrew Dabb returns to Supernatural with “Clip Show”, a fascinating episode in which Sam and Dean feel the true wrath of Crowley, while Castiel teams with “Marv” to put an end to humanity’s angelic tribulations.

‘Psych’ Season 7, Episode 11: Work Snafu

One of the most enjoyable aspects of Psych is that it is a show that by and large doesn’t take itself seriously. Yes, there’s often a crime to be solved and the characters have been developed over the years, but it’s more “theatre of the absurd” than your standard procedural. Enter, “Office Space” an example of just how absurdly entertaining the show can … [Read more...]
