I would be longing for the fake accent. She's great hamming it up as Kove on NTSF:SD:SUV.

Well, I'll be the party-pooper, but I didn't find the show quite compelling.
There were a few good lines, a few uncomfortable situations, which are always great for laughs, but there was one key ingredient missing from the usual Guest offering, the continuous study of a microcosm, which was replaced by more focus on…

The most improved thing is the dialog. They gave the two leads much more interplay this season and this pays off beautifully, but there are many other scenes that work better because the lines are just better.
That said, the scene between Kayle's mother and the mother from the missing girl in Oregon was just one of…

"Next on AMC, our new show with your favorite characters from The Killing, Death Row Pals.
"Death Row Pals, they may lose their life, but they sure didn't lose their friendship and their sense of humor!"
(Cut to scenes from a sitcom starring the inmates and guards of season 3 with canned laughter)
SEWARD: Hey warden,…

Don't forget the testimony by the kid: "He was wet, soaking wet"
"What do you mean?"
"Like he'd been in blood."

A show must make some kind of splash to get renewed. The ratings are one hint, the others could be media coverage or, lately, mentions on social media. Veep has solid rating, Girls has large coverage, fueled by controversy. Family Tree's got neither. It initially got some good will from the critics and Christopher…

They sure give both Enos and Kinnaman much better material compared to the first two seasons, which allows us for instance to witness much more subtlety in Holder and fewer situations in which Linden's phone rings at an inappropriate time. Actually, the acting is a big step up compared to the previous season. Enos,…

They can't, as Billy Campbell was apparently very relieved to be written out of the show. There was an interview in The Gameological Society in which he made it obvious he found a few things ridiculous.

@avclub-0fa7601a886412ac0f48947adf3861d6:disqus That's why the killer will be revealed to be…

There's still something completely idiotic in the scene.
Angie is a teenage prostitute who never took a look at the face of her john. She went into his car without knowing what he looked like, because no underage prostitute has ever been afraid of meeting a psycho or a totally ugly guy.
But she saw her eyes. The eyes!…

Zero Hour was a thing of beauty. I chronicled all the episodes for a French forum and  I had a lot of fun.

@avclub-f8665a36d5a911922da81a12443887ed:disqus They weren't lazy. When they started to gather ideas for Second Coming, all four members were on different kinds of drugs, which made communication nearly impossible within the band.
At least Second Coming made for a great joke in Shaun of the Dead.

I prefer the second sketch, where they work as private investigators à la Charlie's Angels and track down an Irishman.

It would be Lucy Schwartz.

Chocolate was the trigger to Lee Remick's addiction to alcohol in Days of Wine and Roses. First, she was into chocolates filled with liquor, then to full on booze. Likewise, at some level, chocolate was Don's substitute for love as a child, then he turned to booze as an adult rather than addressing the elephant in the…

@avclub-b22b95593e42f8875155a84dc8a8ab75:disqus Season 7 will actually cover an entire day in Don Draper's life, in more or less real time, as Sally wished for him to never tell a lie in a day. And it will based on Liar Liar.

The marriage is reason enough to suspect more foul play was involved. Being "nice" is one thing, marrying a woman who has lost her mind is another and pushing her in the sea is just a shadow of a doubt away.

Treme.

The real life George Maharis' (he starred in the early seasons of Route 66) real life bathroom companion.

Perfecto Telles is an even more obscure reference.
