SEB: awake s01e12 episode trailer, preview In the next episode of Awake, the truth is out – and while Britten is trying to act on it, we gett an action story that looks like The Fugitive. The fact is that now Britten can’t trust no one, in no reality, and it’s interesting to see how [...]

SEB: awake s01e11 episode review With two more episodes to finish the season, Awake gets in high gear. This means we are focused less on the investigations and more on the bigger story. If you read here my recaps for Awake you know what I think about it – the show should have focused on [...]

SEB: awake s01e11 episode trailer, preview Will Say Hello to My Little Friend be the episode where we finally get a better understanding of Awake, and Britten’s special condition? Will the dual reality is real? half real? Is there a third dream that we’re not aware of? Was there an accident atall? According to the [...]

SEB: awake s01e10 episode review What I enjoy most about Awake is the idea behind it. The concept is so good, but it doesn’t play out as good. What’s left of the dual-realities concept is some dreamy atmosphere at times, and some use of subtext. And that’s when it’s good. Last week’s episode, Game Day, [...]

SEB: awake s01e09 episode trailer, preview In the next episode of Awake, the bigger story finally moves forward. I often complain about this series that I feel the creators of the show didn’t really know what to do with the good high concept they’ve had for Awake, and so week after week we watch another [...]

SEB: pnr s04e20 episode trailer, preview The next episode in Parks And Recreation is the big one. No, not the last this season yet, but still. Not only it has the big title The Debate, more importantly it’s the first episode directed by our ever favorite Amy Poehler. NBC never release their promo video too [...]

SEB: community s03e17 episode trailer, preview After this last Thursday we’ve spent time in the dreamologie with Abed and Annie, this coming Thursday get ready for the Community take on one of TV’s longest series – Law & Order. The episode, Basic Lupine Urology, is hillarious in itself, and I can’t wait to see the [...]

SEB: awake s01e09 episode promo, trailer Next week on Awake, Rex returns and it’s a Game Day. Based on the episode promo, it doesn’t seem like we’re moving ahead with the bigger story, but again Brikken is playing detective most of the time. Read Awake episode 8 recap, Nightswimming I just want to see how [...]

SEB: awake s01e08 episode review Thursday night are a busy ones, with Awake, Community and Parks blocking my entire evening. Last night on Awake was the first time they used a circular narrative – we started with the police finding Brikken doing Nightswimming (apperantly by himself), then after the credits we get the full story. [...]

SEB: awake s01e08 episode promo, trailer After last weeke CSI-style drama on the show, tonight on Awake, get ready for some real action. If you thought Oregon will be all green and peaceful, think again. Now the detective’s trying to help a man find his kidnapped wife, while we get to meet Britten’s insider. Here’s [...]

SEB: awake s01e07 episode review I did my own marathon of the first 7 episodes of Awake, episode 7 being the last. I was afraid in the beginning the new NBC detective drama will not be as good as I thought it should – based on the pilot (back when it was still titled REM). [...]

SEB: parenthood s03e02 After a pretty dark premiere episode for the third season of Parenthood, I’m veru curious to see where will it go. Here’s the trailer for the second episode of the season, which is titled Hey, If You’re Not Using That Baby… – and in which Julia is making the proposal for the [...]

SEB: parenthhod s03e01 I’m still struggling to find time to update Mean and Massive. I’ve decided to try and cut my episode reviews short (not that I wrote 2000-words articles before) – so this might help me to cover as many TV shows as I want. The fall season is here, and there are too [...]
