I come here every week looking for a "whew, guys, this season's finally out of the woods! What a strong sequence of episodes! Back on track! Nothing to worry about here! Uh-uh, no latter-days-ER syndrome in the horizon! Not this season, Satan! Not this show!". Or at least a "yeah, this season sucks, but this episode…

Thank you for this review. I was gonna say it lacked actual commentaries on the episode as an entertainment experience, but then again, I always felt like most of the praise Black-ish receives comes from its contributions to conversations on social topics, so it's not unfair to judge an episode by how it fails to do…

Man, I loved this episode. My favorite so far. It's fun to see Pete losing again and again and somehow never becoming bitter, but seeing him winning also feels great, and earned (like when the asian guys come to fill the place in episode 4 and the absolutely delightful "guys, I got the job!" montage this week). Also,…

I think the first two acts captured something truly atemporal and universal. I love how Jack's story feels like a patchwork of classic mythical elements, and I feel they really drove home that universal myth aspect with the stoic hero/lone wolf parallel. Looking forward to seeing the white wolf again (hopefully not in…

Jesus, I absolutely hate his ex wife. I mean, sure, Lapkus deserves all the praise she's getting, but her character's just enfuriating for me. She's not simply selfish, she has a sociopathic lack of concern for other people's feelings. Why even go to the dinner in the first place?! These people definitely have their…

I've outlined a 10 seasons, 200 episodes-long sitcom about me, my friends and our talking pens. Pre-teens' imagination can go pretty wild. Parents, talk to your kids about elevator pitches, pilot seasons and syndication before someone else does.

"Oh my God. Your ear is, like, totally disgusting!"

Oh, God, I loved free-writing assignments! My magnum opus was a Red Riding Hood gothic spoof about a girl hiding a werewolf in the attic (either that or the zombie horses short story).

the lack of a trailer is worrying. please, God, don't let this be bad.

Thank you. I hate binge-watching, but it helped me get through the beginning of season five (the ghost sex times), so I might consider doing it again.

I'm behind with this show and heading towards season twelve's finale, and I really don't know what to do. All the critics I read and spoilers I receive just are making me want to pretend season 13 never happened, even though I love the show and I think the only bad season was season 9 (and a few arcs from 3, 4, 5, 6,…

Yeah, I feel you. Last week was 90% Apatow, this week is 100% Holmes (week 2 being 50/50) and, as much as like the former, I'm not watching this show for the romantic relationship/sex jokes (partly because almost every other show on TV right now is offering just that).

I'd give it a try. She has, like, four minutes of screen time, but the whole episode feels like something she'd write.

For me it's Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place. Oh, and Doctor Who (except for the twelve good episodes and the bunch of funny/poignant character moments hid inside the not-good ones).

I couldn't believe they were going for the "pathos through yard sale" trope, either ("object with sentimental value mistakenly sold along with furniture" included). Didn't expected such a CBS sitcom move from an HBO hipster comedy, but I guess we can say they pulled it off.

This show's definitely less humorous than, say, Veep or Sillicon, but it's mostly amusing, ain't it? And it feels like its own thing, in a way I never thought the "struggling comedian in New York" sadcom could pull off in 2017. I mean, if Holmes can manage to consistently deliver a "three great scenes, no bad ones, an…

I enjoy it a lot, but I don't remember it taking too long to find its footing, though, so maybe it's just not your thing. Episodes 10, 12, 15, and 20 of season 1 are great, if you wanna give the show another try.

Can't believe Handler passed the opportunity to name this one "The Worrying Widow", "The Widow's Will", or "The Widow in the Window".

I can't accurately pinpoint what's not working for me, but something clearly isn't. Maybe it's that the show gets tiring sometimes, or that it overdoes its quirks just a little bit too much (I mean, let's be honest, wherever you draw the line, the lighthouse fire scene is beyond it). I also absolutely hate the…

thank GOD a Netflix show has the voice of reason your country needs right now. how did racial minorities ever got anything done in the past without it?mildly racist conservative relatives and alt-right neckbeards will be binge-watching it before you can say "America's conversation about race is ineffective and broken…
