There’s one thing to take away after watching “The Flash,” which is that it’s simply a fun show. And it truly did deliver in bringing the fun in the show’s fifth episode of season two, “The Darkness and the Light.”
After sidetracking with a couple episodes, “The Flash” continued its exciting multiverse story arc the show has built after its...
After an Emmy-winning first season, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has returned with a second season that to date has been hilarious and just as good as its first. Since school started so late, we’ll be starting with episode three, “The Jimmy Jab Games,” but make sure you catch up on the first two episodes as well. They shouldn’t be missed.
The main...
If you played Hot Lava as a kid, where you stood on various pieces of furniture to keep from touching the now lava-covered floor, then you’ll understand what “Geothermal Escapism” is all about. On the day Troy (Donald Glover) is set to leave Greendale, Abed (Danny Pudi) initiates a school-wide game of Hot Lava for Troy’s going-away present.
If there’s...
The second season of CW’s “The Flash” opened up with a bang and introduced many new possibilities for the show and its universe. But with that said, the thrilling narrative of Jay Garrick, Zoom and the multiverse came to a halt in the third episode, “Family of Rogues.”
Instead of continuing the exciting story arc of the aforementioned, this episode...
Now that the Olympics are over, “Community” is back, but I’m not sure this was the best episode to come back with.
It’s good that the show is trying to work in its new characters — Professors Duncan (John Oliver) and Hickey (Jonathan Banks) — in a way that feels organic. They’re part of the Save Greendale Committee, and it...
Even though it’s been consistently funny, this season of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has been up-and-down for me in terms of enjoyment. Luckily, “USPIS” is an upswing. It’s an episode that’s funny, but since that humor is rooted in character relationships, “USPIS” is well-rounded in a way that much of the season has lacked.
“USPIS” returns to Rosa’s (Stephanie Beatriz) drug task...
At some point in time, all TV shows feature an episode that takes the characters out of their normal environment — for example, “Mixology Certification” in the second season of “Community” and “Hunting Trip” in the second season of “Parks and Recreation.” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has attempted changing up the formula several times this season and in varying ways, but...
If you watch “Community,” you probably know about the largely negative reaction to season four, written without the show’s creator, Dan Harmon. After the negative reaction, Harmon is back for season five with a premiere of two strong episodes, which bodes well for the show. Given the 13-episode lineup, it seems strange to air two of them on the...
Canadian show “Orphan Black” had a fabulous freshman season, garnering award nominations and wins in both the U.S. and Canada. This included a Golden Globe nomination for lead actress Tatiana Maslany, which I was excited about because genre shows — in this case, science fiction — so rarely get nominated for what are considered the “prestigious” awards.
But as any...
On “Community” this week, we’re back to focusing on the original members of the study group: Annie (Alison Brie), Abed (Danny Pudi), Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), Jeff (Joel McHale), and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) — but ultimately this is Jeff and Shirley’s story.
Like most Jeff and Shirley stories, the theme of “App Development and Condiments” is competition. Greendale is ground...
