MEAN and MASSIVE

Last night on Weeds, it’s all about the timing. While Nancy is trying to do the right thing, Andy, Silas and Shane find out this is not assimple as they thought. My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Silas is getting fired from the pharma company; Shane is getting in trouble; Nancy breaks [...]

Nancy is still trying to mainstream her life, while Silas is trying to bring his business back. The sixth episode in the final season of Weedsbrought Nancy a new chance, in a quite unexpected way. My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Nancy is trying to get a job; Silas is after his [...]

After last week Nancy showed us she can still use her talents when needed, in one of the better episodes this season, this week she has another chance to consider her choices, and a good enough motivation to return to her old position. This Week also brought us a much better version of the Andy-Jill [...]

Weeds continued this week in a confused and rather messy episode, that brought Nancy in front of the cops again. Only this time it was a lot different. My review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Shane goes after Tim, and Nancy and Silas follow; Andy has trouble with the twins; Doug is fired – [...]

Fat people on American TV, now here’s an issue that can be the subject for a book, or of an episode on Episodes. When the network says Matt is too fat, it gets him so down, until he’s doing something that may puts everything – his relationship with Jaime and his show- in danger. A [...]

Matt’s stalker becomes part of the story in the sixth episode of Episodes, and it’s one of the funniest pre-title sequences in the show yet. Things are getting more complicated as we’re moving forward, in tiny funny steps. Somehow, it works wonderfully. My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Matt istrying to get [...]

The fifth episode of Episodes just proved me how great that show is – and how it keeps getting better. Although there are still some characters I find too flat, and some narrative patters that are not too interesting – the overall is quite different than anything else on TV, and in a good way [...]

Showtime has sent the first two episodes of Weeds eighth and final season for the press. Since it is very hard to review the premiere episode without giving spoilers about the shooting from the season 7 finale, this will be a more general review. The first episode, Messy, reveals the outcomes of the shooting – [...]

Not much is revealed in the teaser promo Showtime has released earlier today for the second season of Homeland. Still, the successful hostage series doesn’t need to try to hard to attract viewers. Homeland is one of the rare cases where the ratings didn’t drop from week to week – but climbed. In Showtime they [...]

SEB: Episodes s02e04 episode review What I love about Episodes, and I discover it slowly which is a good sign, is that it works on multiple layers like any good TV drama. Only this is a comedy, and as a comedy it is a pretty good one. But I enjoy the dramatic moments/complications entirely, and [...]

SEB: Episodes s01e03 episode review We’re already in Episode 3 in the mini Episodes marathon I’ve decided to give myself this morning, and the fun must stop when Merc’s father dies. The episode wasn’t as funny as the second in this season of Episodes, but it gave us a moment to understand better what Shawn [...]

SEB: Episodes s02e02 episode review In a very similar way to the first season of the show, where I didn’t like the pilot episode but enjoyed the rest of the season – here too I’m happy to say the second episode of Episodes is so much better, a funnier, than the first. I even laughed [...]

SEB: Episodes s02e01 episode review The new season of Episodes, the British-American comedy starring Matt LeBlanc, has not premiered yet in the US (Showtime), but in the UK (BBC) already three episodes (out of 9) have been aired. I’ve decided to give my early reviews for the show, mainly for schedule reasons. The first episode [...]

The new season of Weeds will premiere on Sunday, July 1st at 10 PM. Showtime has already sent out the new season’s poster of the show. Still green, still Nancy. The tag line is ‘who got smoked’, and I wonder how the new season is going to answer that question. Who shot Nancy? Watch Weeds [...]
