I can just sum this up in one line: Please watcher 'Terriers' on FX instead.

If all the best parenting sitcoms have 'Roseanne' DNA, 'Louis' has it the most purely.

Romantic and agitating in turns, the HBO drama has, in its stealthy way, become one of the most experimental series on television.

"That was like one of those situations where you've been hoping for a sex scene between two characters and then it finally happens."

Showtime's drama about a serial killer is disturbing, sure, but also one of the most brilliant dramas on TV.

'Terriers' has pulled off a neat trick: looking like a procedural, then sneaking in something much more interesting.

Why even bother falling in love with a TV show when there's a good chance it will be canceled?

'No Ordinary Family' is shaping up to be one of the few hits of this gloomy fall season, and while it wouldn’t be my top pick, I can’t begrudge it.
