FX is the deepest channel in terms of quality TV, right?

I hope his character is still just Bob Benson in that new Robin Williams-Sarah Michelle Gellar NBC sitcom.

Losticon.

Alma's scene was really great, because the lead-up was so incredibly awkward. That isn't her. She can't just step outside her marriage - even if it's a shit marriage and she wants to - like Marco can do (apparently effortlessly). So I thought the scene was worth it just to show us how bad she is at cheating, and

This sounds absolutely terrible, and based on the review, I don't know why Scott Van Doviak didn't just give it a D-.

TV needs more James Badge Dale.

I didn't give a flying poop about her until The Americans. And she's really effing good in that show, so I like her there. She's also pretty attractive, which is nice.

I like the rapidly expanding roster, actually. Things were a bit too tidy to me for the first 3-4 episodes, and now it's starting to feel like a bigger world with further-reaching consequences. And I know enough about the established characters that I don't feel like they're adding people for the sake of adding people

I'm with you, I thought it was fun and kind of wished they'd had the montage go on longer. And Frye is the only character in this show it would work with - it's kind of a goofy song, but there's an undercurrent of delirium to it.

Lyle Lovett looks like someone tried to carve Ryan Stiles' face into a potato, using only a pocket knife.

I wish Sherlock would use it a tiny bit more. The way they do it is so fucking cool (as is eveything that show does visually). I wish more people would steal it for their own shows, so I'm glad 'The Bridge' did just that.

Close, but needs more excitement.

Oh yeah, my memory sucks. Oops. I'm standing by my point though, that the show has, in moments, veered a bit too close to cartoon for my tastes.

OK, can we be honest with ourselves for a second?

Strictly from a preference standpoint: I personally enjoy Mad Men more. I like shows that try to be big and ambitious, and say something about a theme larger than just the characters and plot. Breaking Bad is expertly done, but it's all about Walter White. End of story. It's very shallow, in that sense, but gives you

This episode definitely demonstrated it has the tools to be essential viewing one day. Maybe it takes 10 episodes to get there, but it might get there. Justified went through a similar phase before jumping into the top tier. Good pilot (although the Justified pilot was probably better than The Bridge's, but both were

And less eye-poppage.

What happened to that weirdo random cop, who was a bit too cheery for his own good, and just happened to show up at a couple crime scenes? A couple episodes ago (I think after all the dead people in the desert were found), Boss Cop told Mustachioed Cop to take a ride, and see if he was hiding anything. And I believe

The film's structural device makes it the "Boomtown" of pornography biopics. I'm sold!
