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 [...]

last night on Wilfred, in an episode called Questions, Ryan and the dog went tripping. So while Ryan is trying to ask the right question that will lead him back home and out of his mind, we enjoyed an excellent episode that felt at times like a closure. Can Ryan know himself at all? My [...]

This week’s opening monologue on Louie was great, continuing directly where the end monologue last week stopped (“..countries where children die all the time and it’s boring”). Late Show(part I) was all so gloom and doom, giving Louie a little perspective on his career, his life etc. It felt like a sad party, but the [...]

Save Yourself, the season 5 finale of True Bloodwas a celebration of many kinds, but the way it ended reminds us that after all the fun and games, there is still a real drama behind the blood stains. My season finale review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Eric, Nora, Tara, Sookie and Jason are [...]

One episode only from the season half-finale, the seventh episode of Breaking Bad is still dealing with the details of the drama and less with the action. That’s fine with me, especially in the episode where we see Mike for the last time. Say My Name leaves no cards hidden, and almost all the characters [...]

With one episode only left for the current season of HBO’s True Blood, things are getting sweaty. So sweaty, in fact, that even characters that haven’t met for quite some time on the series finally got an opportunity to catch up. The fairies are in danger, the vampires are getting signals from their god of [...]

What an episode. Breaking Bad did it again and Buyouthad everything, action, drama, twists and whatnot, including a bit of Walter’s back mind. It was also the episode that brought Walter White down – just to let him rise again at the end of it. My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): With [...]

Believe it or not, it’s already the fifth episode of Breaking Bad season 5. And believe it or not, but Jesse still don’t get how dangerous Walt has become, even after the passion of perfection of Heisenberg almost got Jesse killed. Dead Freight was an excellent episode, that moves us a tiny step forward as [...]

It’s the tenth episode of True Blood season 5, and as the action goes into high gear, Sookie finds herself again in the middle of the main drama. Gone, Gone, Gone was a strong episode, with the two main plots (Stackhouse murder investigation and the vampire revolution) shifting the focus in what looks like a [...]

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 [...]

I haven’t written my weekly reviews for True Blood lately, moving flats and all, but now I’m back. This week it started to look like all the separate plots are just different parts of the same bigger story, which connects somehow Sookie’s parents death, the vampire revolution, and the “Obamas”. The end of the fifth [...]

The fourth episode in the current season of Breaking Bad, Fifty-One, focused on Skyler. In a similar way to the episode we saw last week on the show, we’ve made a small step forward (and half step backwards) as far as it concerns the new meth operation of Walt,Mike and Jesse, and more of the [...]

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 [...]

Hazard Pay, the third episode of Breaking Bad‘s fifth and final season, was no less than excellent. Dramatic twists and curves took us, together with Walt and Jesse, on a fast ride with a familiar thrill. The duo is cooking again, Marie is back, Badger and Skinny Pete are back, the new character Todd is [...]

We continue our adventure with Louie in dating-land, in the second part of the Daddy’s Girlfriendepisode. What started off as an almost lunatic rolling ball of emotions, ended as simple, honest fun. But can Louie take more of it? My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Louie goes on a date that keeps [...]

A lot has happened in the second episode of Breaking Bad‘s fifth season, including the introduction of the new character Lydia and the new money situation for Mike and his gang which helped Walter White proceed with his megalomaniac plan. My review for Madrigal follows… What just happened (episode summary): Walter helps Jesse find a [...]

Daddy’s Girlfriend, a two-part episode that will continue next week, focused on Louie’s search for a girlfriend. This was the focus of Louie‘s current season since the very beginning, which means we know a lot about Louie’s dating problems, intimacy problems, etc etc. Presented in the unique magic-realism touch Louis C.K. has used here and [...]

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 – [...]

Finally, bitches. The fifth season of Breaking Bad premiered tonight, with the first episode Live Free Or Die. It was great to see that we’re back in the pre-title sequence game, with a puzzling scene that hides more than it shows. Besides that the premiere episode did a great job in using the materials from [...]

Louietook us with him to Miami last night, in a funnily uncomfortable episode. My review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Louie goes on a working trip to Miami, where he meets a guy he likes. How it happened (the chatty TV critic): Miami was another episode in the third season of Louie that made [...]
