Ray Donovan: A Mouth Is A Mouth Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maxnpKE-3rk] Ray Donovan is starting to gain a footing as the next great family drama. With this episode, the LA “fixing” was better integrated into the Donovans chaotic life. The pacing is still a bit wonky, but I think they’re going to get there. The ratings also improved from the […]

This is it – the season finale of Defiance, was it everything you hoped for and more? We already know it’ll be back for season two, so there’s no sweating it there. Maybe play the game in the downtime? I’ve never tried out the videogame accompaniment myself, so I can’t […]

Ray Donovan: The Bag or the Bat Recap
As much as it pains me to say it, Ray Donovan was not the ground-breaking, mind-blowing, face-melter that I had hoped it would be. It’s well acted, with a few questionable Bawston accents, and the story seems solid, if not a bit boring. It did premiere with good numbers and […]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKflh9WztKo&w=560&h=315] I must say that I have grown very skeptical of anime and am no longer quick to invest myself in a series.

Why, Even as BBC Sherlock Fans, Elementary Has Become Our Favorite
With the Elementary’s first season completed and BBC Sherlock’s third season still in the works, I’d like to take the time to write a potentially dangerous post: a side-by-side comparison of both of these modern reimaginings of Sherlock Holmes.
