These opening credits are technically new. The other one was just a handy intro that they used in case a new viewer decided to give the show a go. These are proper opening credits that I think they made because the episode was too short. Even with these titles, it was under 40 minutes.

But that would mean Annalise hasn't completely fixed the problem and tied everything up in a neat bow like the legal goddess she is. It leaves things outstanding.

The thing is, most of the show's audience wouldn't care even if they were aware of the show's inaccuracies (which most aren't). They want to see Annalise being awesome and getting justice for her client every week. They don't watch the show to see how slow and boring the real legal processes are. They want

Yeah, I think it applies to a lot of CBS shows. They love procedurals and they know how to do them well, but some of them are horribly misogynistic and quite dull due to the fact they follow the same formula. They're nonetheless undeniably fully-formed shows that clearly appeal to their target demographic.

He grew up in Australia, so his accent isn't real, but I haven't noticed any slip ups.

Is it just me or does Eddie sometimes look a bit out of place? I think it's because he looks older than others.

I'm in mixed minds about it. It isn't always funny, but it does ultimately reflect the way people talk in real life, so maybe it doesn't matter that it doesn't always work on a comedic level?

Would the detective really find it strange that she went to her ex-husband's funeral? He is the father of at least one of her children. Even if they had a bitter split, I can understand why she would go and pay her respects to someone whom she once loved.

Craig Ferguson isn't on anyone's radar in the UK for people to have a strong opinion on him. I don't think ever even seen the guy on UK television. James Corden, on the other hand, has been continually forced on the public and there is definitely a strong consensus on him and it's not good.

CBS's decision to hire him still baffles me. I don't know many people who like him in his own country.

When the show started, I fully expected The Goldbergs to sideline Erica because Adam Goldberg doesn't have a sister in real life, but I have to say that they've done a pretty good job of servicing that character even when they're doing stories that are taken from his childhood, like this week's JTP story.

Just because a show is fully-formed doesn't mean it's going to be good. There are plenty of shows out there that I think are terrible, but I can't deny that they're fully-formed.

"What was particularly remarkable about the first season of CW’s The 100 was how fully-formed it was upon arrival."

Because adverts are always accurate reflections of the product…

It has less to do with budget cuts and more to do with the fact that TV shows get more expensive with age, which means the budget has to stretch further.

Paul Young just can't seem to stop fucking up his marriages. (Even on Mad Men, he's Paul Young to me.)

It was a reasonably good concept that was poorly executed. It spent too much time on politics, the conspiracy story surrounding the cause of the fertility crisis wasn't interesting. We never really got to see what the show's society looks like and how they're coping with possible extinction etc.

How do you know that the show doesn't explore abortion as a legitimate option when you haven't even watched the pilot? FYI, there are no pro-life arguments about 'the life she is carrying' etc and it's made very clear that she has a choice. Her decision has nothing to do with morality and the show avoids entering into

He wouldn't be working for Annalise if he wasn't good at law. He won his place by coming up with a good defence for their client in the pilot. He has excellent instincts and has repeatedly come up with the goods for Annalise's clients even if his methods are morally (and sometimes legally) wrong. I'd say he's well on

There is some good news on that front. NBC is teaming up with Comic Relief and Funny or Die to hold the USA's first ever Red Nose Day in May 2015. The founder of the Comic Relief charity, Richard Curtis (of Notting Hill and Love, Actually fame) will be the executive producer of the telethon like he is in the UK.
