At least they’re throwing in some WHAT THE FUCK moments. I don’t need or want to understand everything that is happening at any given time when watching Homeland. Part of the fun has always been trying (and inevitably failing) to understand motives, actions, even keeping straight who everyone is and who they’re affiliated with. One…
Goddamn, this show has some gut-wrenching emotional moments! After the first few episodes, it was already becoming clear that we weren’t dealing with a show that was only going to point out sexual absurdities and chronicle the scientific component of the sexual revolution. While both of those elements are certainly present in the overall makeup…
I’m not going to let Homeland off the hook completely. There’s still plenty to be pissed about, and the show is nowhere near what it was at the end of the first season, or in the middle of the second season. But they hit the Season 3 reset button at the last available second where…
At least there are tits. Nothing is more disappointing than wasted potential. Among new TV shows, this is the show that everyone is discussing. But no one is saying, “holy shit, this is great!”, it’s basically, “damn, it could be so much better”. That’s not good. Disney has a brand to protect, of course they…
Season Ones can be fascinating to watch, because even the worst, low concept garbage can show glimpses of potential. Masters of Sex is hardly that, as there is a creative vision here that is almost a prerequisite for a show to get greenlit in the 21st century premium cable landscape. Even Hung had enough to…
Is there any way to kindly and gently say, “worst episode of the series so far”? The first two episodes of this season were spiraling downward to this. Then, with the third installment, we had a reprieve, with Brody returning to reach his own personal rock bottom, which was mirrored by Carrie’s. There was an…
DOUBLE FEATURE! Or, I MISSED LAST WEEK’S REVIEW AND I’M CATCHING UP!!! I want to treat this as a state of affairs for Agents of SHIELD. We’re four episodes in now, for better or for worse we probably have a good idea of what we’re getting. A few shows have managed to have earth-shaking tonal…
Thus far, Masters of Sex has been a bit of an enigma for me. I may have period piece exhaustion, as I’m continually finding myself thinking that I’ve seen these characters before. Bill Masters as an emotionally underdeveloped scientist hopelessly devoted to his craft is particularly problematic, since that archetype has been ridden to death…
Brody’s back in the muthafuckin’ house, with a fat dick in yo muthafuckin’ mouth. We all knew that Brody was going to return, it was just a question of when and in what capacity. I’d find it difficult to believe that anyone in the viewing audience predicted “gutshot outside Caracas with a shaved head, being…
“Race to Space” Masters of Sex hasn’t settled in yet. The show is still in its infancy, so it still has loads of potential. It didn’t trip coming out of the blocks, but it isn’t breaking away from the pack either. Enough with the clichés, on with the show. The number one opportunity for this…
