God what a good show this is. Who cares who killed who?

Westworld gives you a lot to consider, and immerses you so completely in its manufactured reality that you’re never distracted from its complicated questions. The best thing I can say about it is that after seeing the first four episodes, I’m very eager for more.

OJ: Made in America lays out of all the evidence patiently, giving all sides their due. It is eminently fair.

The FX limited-run series is every bit as watchable as the insanely watchable trial.

You don't need to pay attention to the authentic background characters, or the glorious music, or the exquisite clothes, or even the textured dialogue to appreciation the majesty of Boardwalk. In fact, you can strip away the majesty--which the show loves to do--and still have a killer drama.

Despite first impressions that can feel one-note, all the characters turn out to be complicated and intriguing.

The cast is uniformly good, especially Corey Stoll as Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of a Center for Disease Control team called in to investigate that dead plane.... The greatest strength of The Strain is its ability to revamp vampires while paying homage to the myths about them that have accrued over decades.

It's just a good story, cleverly told. It's not going to resolve the troubles in the Middle East, but then again, neither has anything else.

Few shows are so grounded. And, if you have a little patience, few shows are so worth watching.

This is, like Alan Moore's “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” a clever exploitation of characters in the public domain. But creator John Logan's story also thrives on its own. Penny Dreadful is a beguiling examination of that space between life and death.
