"My Krayt dragons!"

'Criminal Justice' - the British show on which 'The Night Of' is based ran for two seasons. If I recall correctly there was completely different cast of characters for the second season.

Labyrinths and outlaws. It's what a television show penned by Jorge Luis Borges would have looked like.

Foolish American. The mud-coloured waters of the English Channel are made of tea. We swim through it in our woolen bathing suits, with our jaws clenched into a rictus grin, filtering out the grit through the gaps in our hideous misshapen British teeth. Then it's back to Leigh-on-Sea for a sing song around the old

White hat Cartman is somehow a bigger douche than his character has ever been before.

I remember watching this with l friends. I don't recall it being scary at all. On the contrary it was rather toe-curling.

The behaviour of the media during this election cycle has been foul.

It looks great, but if every other line of dialogue is some wide-eyed pep talk about hope then it's going to get pretty tiresome. I suppose Inglorious Basterds in space was too much to ask for from Disney.

Some great moments lost among the static and the soap opera set pieces. A script edit and perhaps a couple less episodes would have tightened this up.

You can tell by the insane level of detail, that Trey Parker and Matt Stone have done their research. This is the most accurate depiction of an internet troll ever seen on TV, right down to the Boston album.

I've enjoyed Mr Robot. This second season has seemed stretched at times - I think ten episodes would have been enough. I don't see how it could go on for five seasons without becoming contrived and repeating the same indulgences as Lost.

American Dad has an incredibly high ratio of good:bad episodes. Almost by stealth it's become one of my favorite shows.

I find it hard to take these scheduled, PR-managed break ups seriously. I remember when bands broke up suddenly and acrimoniously in a blizzard of cocaine and wild punches.

Like the mask in Batman Begins, they purchase the raw ingredients for thyme in bulk from two separate locations and then assemble the herb themselves.

Does this review even exist? And this comment section; is that real? Is Mr Robot no more than our sub-conscious attempt to process disappointing episodes of The Simpsons?

Prepare your Vulcan ears for a song titled 'To Boldly Go' ably performed by the sun-kissed prince of blue-eyed soul, Michael Bolton. You will be hearing tired and emotional karaoke renditions of it at sci-fi and comic conventions from now until the end of time.

Mr Domineau, whoever you are. I have not been this thoroughly entertained in a long time.

None of that came across for me. Custer and Tulip don't feel like a couple which seems odd, given that their relationship is the cornerstone of the graphic novel. Maybe it will become more evident during the 'All in the family' storyline, which presumably will be a part of season two.

Overall I think the writers did a very good job of toning down the excesses of the comic while staying true to its spirit. I liked the way that they took the time to build up the town and its inhabitants, to a point where you begin to see glimpses of humanity in people who were initially caricatures. Even Quinncanon

I wonder whether the inclusion of the song Highwayman has any significance given that it's about one soul living many different lives - first a highwayman, then a sailor, a dam builder and a star pilot, and then maybe a single drop of rain or a highwayman again.
