And there I wanted the vaunted A/F grade.

It's funny that Soderbergh wanted to put The Knick on HBO with a quick turnaround from shoot to air date, but the network said it wouldn't risk it. In the end, The Knick is better than any HBO drama since The Wire/The Sopranos/Deadwood. I haven't seen The Leftovers second season, though, which I'm hearing great things…

It was nice to see the show slow down the plot and have some fun.

Age of Ultron was a movie with no consequences for any of the characters. Especially Tony Stark, who managed to create a global incident through his selfishness and myopia, but didn't get held accountable at all. But let's blame Bucky in this third one for blah blah blah.

I hope the show catches on. It has started to climb in live viewers, but it'd be nice if it could get a 0.3 in the demo next year instead of 0.2 (which risks cancellation).

The ironic thing is AVC is taking Syfy's The Magicians to task for having too much plot and wants a more leisurely pace for that show. While the critics certainly have the right to make these points, it's just hilarious that both of these shows — the most ambitious Syfy has done in years — get flack for polar opposite…

Hate to spoil it for you, but I'll give you a clue… Sgt. Gray killed Nicole in the library with the candlestick.

The AVClub somehow loves giving this show a B+. These were easily A/A- episodes based on excitement, acting, production values, etc. I admit the season ended with a ton of unanswered questions, but does a season have to function unto itself?

Yeah, I wondered if the Judge suddenly worked for the mob and decided to put out a hit on Alicia. I know Chicago politics are bad, but didn't know they had reached that point.

Especially strange considering Cary could have been folded in more and more this past season and been a lead in a spin-off set in Boston or something when he decides to move on.

The second Grace got less involved, Alicia looks at her computer and is $18,000 in the red. Time to get Grace and her business acumen running the fledgling law firm… nope, too late, back to the old firm Alicia goes.

This episode felt like it should have happened after "Iowa." Alicia seemed to be getting back on track last episode and then went One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on CBS viewers.

I think Alicia resented Grace helping her for some profit. It fits with Alicia's selfishness at times — she believes her children should do everything she says without a peep about their own dreams. Zach made a mistake and got tossed to the wolves; Grace is an afterthought. Even Owen, who acts like a child from time…

It's amazing that viewers don't give these kids some slack considering the pressure they are under and their parental figures: a borderline alcoholic mother and a philandering sociopath. Sure they look like the Kennedy's, but behind closed doors they have more problems than a guy with his hand stuck in a beehive.

Absolutely. I wonder if the King's secretly started to throw some shade on the character to parallel real-life behaviors of their star?

I responded to another poster above about this. I think Alicia is holding them responsible — even though it is irrational — for Peter's actions. Each time Zach or Grace lie or give Alicia a hard time, she associates their behavior with Peter. She really needed — and certainly still needs — to leave someone like Peter…

Plus Alicia is her mother's daughter - loving but also likely to be judgmental and abrupt. Alicia has gotten better about respecting Grace's choices, but I suspect on some level she is really disappointed in her. With Zach, he's just going through a phase of adolescent angst/lying and I suspect Alicia will forgive…

What makes Alicia such an intricate figure on this show is that she wants to be the idealistic young lawyer, but somehow always ends up as the corporate shill despite her better instincts. I think the Kings like Alicia, but aren't trying to suggest that she is necessarily a good person. What's odd about the tv show…
