Being Mary Jane: Season 170
Aug 15, 2023
What makes it all work, moderately, is Union, who manages to portray Mary Jane as relatable, sexy and vulnerable, without being a saint or goody-two-shoes.

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Season 180
Aug 23, 2022
In terms of top-notch sci-fi fare on a budget, this impressive new vessel flies well beyond its predecessor.

The 4400: Season 150
Jun 16, 2021
[Its] tepid execution and uneven performances don't exactly master its possibilities.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King: Season 150
May 3, 2021
Despite some highlights, this foray into “The Twilight Zone” territory mostly lacks the requisite punch Showtime’s “Masters of Horror” delivered, primarily owing to episodes with inadequate payoffs. Limited series should spur curiosity among King acolytes, but too few of the installments really pop creatively.

Kingdom Hospital: Season 140
Apr 14, 2021
This peculiar project — at times spooky but, at least initially, never remotely scary — is going to have to get significantly better fast to put any kind of a dent in “Law & Order” and make Mouse House execs feel sanguine about its Nielsen life signs.

Black Jesus: Season 170
Sep 13, 2019
This live-action series from “The Boondocks'” Aaron McGruder and director Mike Clattenburg is also disarmingly and pretty consistently funny, buoyed by Gerald “Slink” Johnson’s portrayal of You Know Who.

O.J.: Made in America: Season 1100
Jun 9, 2016
[Writer-director Ezra Edelman] has responded with, even in the annals of ESPN’s “30 for 30” docs, what feels like a master opus.
Apr 18, 2016
Containment: Season 130
Apr 18, 2016
A thoroughly uninspired drama about a pandemic.
Apr 12, 2016
American Grit: Season 140
Apr 12, 2016
Cena brings energy and earnestness to the hosting chores, as do the mentors. Yet barring audiences forging some unforeseen bond with the by-the-numbers competitors, American Grit seems too familiar and derivative.
Apr 11, 2016
Confirmation: Season 180
Apr 11, 2016
Meticulously produced, cast to the hilt and boasting powerful performances by Kerry Washington and Wendell Pierce in the lead roles.
