The secret to most Bill Lawrence shows is that you want to spend time with their characters. You like them, as you would your own...

Euphoria has always been many things – salacious, provocative, stupid, lurid, occasionally brilliant, and so on, and so forth – but chief among them was...

I have a sneaking suspicion that people aren’t going to love the ending of DTF St. Louis. And I can see why, honestly. I’m about to...

I’ve always hated the naive – and, frankly, entirely incorrect – idea that characters in stories have to be “likeable” or “relatable”. There are all-time-great...

Jonathan Glatzer’s TV résumé is tough to argue with, but it’s difficult to watch his Silicon Valley satire The Audacity and not feel like the...

Edgewater is a pretty weird place, which isn’t helped by the fact that most people there are on drugs. But for once, the town’s lax...

I’ve been complaining for weeks that Boston Blue tends not to make use of Sean and Jonah, but at the risk of sounding like I’m...

In many ways, Episode 5 of Rooster is the one I was waiting for. I could see the dramedy’s potential from the very beginning, but...

In many ways, “The Denny’s Plan” is the weakest episode of DTF St. Louis thus far. That sounds like more of a criticism than it’s intended to...
