Homeland S3E11 Review, “Big Man in Tehran”

So, Homeland has actively begun to anger me. Yes, this week’s episode was a nice follow up to last week’s episode for the percentage of the audience that enjoys Bruckheimer films, American cheese, and the smell of a locker room.  There’s something to be said for each of those things, I suppose, who am I…

Switch Hitter: Derek

Channel 4’s Derek, a Netflix exclusive.  Can Netflix really claim exclusivity to a show that already has a channel attached to it’s name?  Anyhow, Derek is a Ricky Gervais vehicle shot similarly to his original Office mockumentary style.  It takes place in a nursing home wherein Gervais plays the title character Derek, a simple minded,…

Some Like It Watched: CSI

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is on its 14th season.  It’s been on since the fucking nineties.  Clearly it’s doing something right.  It’s also spawned off two successful sister series in Miami and New York, but the OG Vegas version is the last man standing.  I’ve seen a few episodes of the program and much like…

Homeland S3E10 Review, “Good Night”

I wrote about chaos in this week’s Walking Dead review, specifically about how cramming too much information into a 45 minute TV episode can mimic the chaotic situations that are developing on screen.  There is of course the danger of stuffing so much into an episode that it becomes impossible to follow, and this week’s…

The Walking Dead S4E8 Review, “Too Far Gone”

Chaos can be at once beautiful and completely destructive.  Chaos captured on film (when done well) is equal parts confusion and intrigue.  The mid-season finale of season 4 of The Walking Dead was all of the above, while still eliciting a tinge of the infuriating frustration that it had previously achieved in past seasons. I’m…

  Braxton Family Values, We Network, Thursdays 9PM The reality TV landscape is a crowded one. Incidentally, in a society such as ours, where the entry fee for fame has been reduced to a couple of “leaked” nude shots, in the midst of the unlimited data age, this particular currency is not hard to come…
