Please send Sonia to the shitshow known as Homeland, and keep Todd here. Sorry, Sonia can write very well and obviously her opinions are merely her opinions, but I like this show and I come here to appreciate it. Todd's review was actually very negative, yet he appreciates the show and finds a way to enhance my

My thoughts exactly, if I was as coherent and well-spoken as you are! I wish I could upvote this a million times.

Yes, this…I had to hunt around for 5 minutes to find the article wherein I could express my dissatisfaction in a civilized manner, and I've lost my urge to be civilized. Hate tumblr and its incessant mouthbreathing scrolling and I won't be contributing too many pageviews, sorry, Overlords.

I was at a formative age when this show aired.  Watching it now, it always make me feel really emotional—I think because it was a woman doing what she wanted for a career and that was so different from the messages I was getting elsewhere at that time.  I never really considered *not* having a career, and I think Mary

Well, the music was good.

Another vote for continuing these reviews, please.  I thought the episode was great, but wished that ABCF had had the guts to let the show be completely silent.  The underscoring was distracting.

I think the tech stuff is dumbed down to make it clearer to the typical CBS audience (or what the CBS execs think is the typical CBS audience), in other words, people over 50 with tons of disposable income who have somehow never owned a cell phone or gone on the Internet.

I think Amanda Peet and Matt Czuchry would make really beautiful babies…hint, hint, powers that be, get those two together, naked, under the sheets, STAT.  Why have a beautiful female lawyer without having the beautiful male lawyer pursue her (especially since they have that prosecutor's office thing in common…)

Glad you're covering this…it's a ridiculous, guilty pleasure.  It's perfect for Thursday nights when I'm too tired to concentrate on something like Homeland.

Just wanted to thank you for covering this show.  I've been catching up on it (really enjoying it) and I've appreciated all the insights you've brought to our attention.  One suggestion: it might be fun if you linked us to the image of the art referenced in the episode titles…most of the time I don't bother googling

Perry can act!! Who knew??  I always thought he just played himself.

I really enjoyed the whole series.  I don't really understand why critics are evaluating this as anything but a light comedy—it's not Hamlet, ferchrissakes, and I'm happy to find a show that's enjoyable in the current dearth of watchable TV.  (Unlike most of AV Club, I just don't enjoy the meta comedies and pop

In "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week", Logan is shown to have a moral compass while participating in the experiment, which is a welcome character development (he also has shown sympathy to Dick).  Subsequently, the show seems bound and determined to paint him as a (VAGUE SPOILERS) bad boyfriend, an immoral coward, an emo

You are absolutely correct.  Mac explicitly reassures him.  There was no rape.  After she took a shower, she emerges to find that he took "everything", and can only wrap herself in the shower curtain

Good analysis.

That's exactly what I'm saying (although I didn't say it very well), people felt that it unfairly stereotyped abuse victims as potential rapists.  And it's just a little weird—the typical psychology that we've come to expect (whether it's true or not) is that an abuser repeats their abuse.  I don't know, it just feels

I think it was planned, but it was also designed to throw people off by planting a lot of red herrings and making it so confusing that it was really hard to put together.  And that irks people.
