SERIES PREMIERE: This British import from ITV, which was televised there last fall, pulls off the same tricky balancing act as Showtime’s U.S. adaptation of Shameless:
SEASON PREMIERE: It’s Season 5 for this third-act comedy series, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and the entire season arrives today. Nudity and mind-altering substan
SEASON PREMIERE: It’s been two months since Bill Maher presided over an installment of his live, comically barbed dissection of current events. And he returns, for the sta
Give Howie Mandel all due credit – lots of it – for reinvention. In the early 1980s, he was a young standup comic whose goofy act included lots of props, and include
On this day in 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that it was legal for individuals to record television shows on home video recording devices for later viewing...
Remember Blue Planet II and its moments of wonder and grace? Dynasties is not that. This new David Attenborough-narrated nature series is darker and more adult, though no less compelling for it...

At least two classic villains from the old Batman universe ascend dramatically in tonight’s new installment of this prequel series. One is Penguin, who has fashio
On tonight’s new episode, Chidi sees the time knife. I have no idea what that means, but that’s the title of this entry – and it takes place at an IHOP. Not a
This felt anti-climactic. A lot of things were teased but few were resolved. If they are resolved satisfactorily next season that will make up for it but its hard to have faith in that. I suspect most climaxes to come will be like the...
This was really stupid. How long were they supposed to be stuck on that rock? Gendry had to get back to Eastwatch. A raven had to get to Dragonstone. Dany had to fly to Eastwatch. Then fly to where they were stuck. And she had to take...
I enjoyed this, I promise you. I like seeing the good guys band together and there were a number of nice scenes. I'm not even going to complain about the rampant "jet packing" and contraction of time. I understand that Benioff and Weiss...

I absolutely loved this until the final couple of minutes. I had goosebumps twice during this episode. First, obviously, with the reunion of Arya and Sansa. I loved the way that was constructed. Initially I was disappointed that their...

'Wet Hot American Summer' returns for its second season on Netflix, and while there are plenty of laughs, there are more slow patches than ever before. read more
James Van Der Beek's oddball lead performance is a highlight in 'What Would Diplo Do?,' a Viceland comedy still trying to find its own identity. read more
One of my objections to the direction of the TV show is the way Cersei has become such a central figure. Instead of the actions of multiple characters leading to chaotic consequences, the producers have chosen to centralise the drama...

Television has long been obsessed with authenticity, but this summer's most vital shows are defined by artifice, embellishment and make-believe. read more
This was oddly structured. Fifty minutes of chat followed by five minutes of mindless action. A huge effort spent to patiently explain Dany's plan to us only for it to be blown up at the end. I disliked almost everything about the sea...
