TV Reviews & Commentaries

With a great cast and a setting in a crime-ridden near future (2048), FOX's newest scripted drama Almost Human holds a lot of promise as compelling science fiction/police procedural drama.

The overall quality of the show is yet to be determined (or realized), but each episode is getting stronger.

Maybe they'll do better with Christmas next week?

Lana Parrilla knocks it out the park again, playing Regina's hard edges as well as her emotional center, so bereft of love but not quite understanding how to deal with it.

The Crimson Petal and the White is a four episode TV series offered on Acorn TV that fascinates and engages. London during the Victorian period has never appeared so realistic and raw, so atmospheric and Dickensian.

Not as big as Day of the Doctor, this short film is a wonderful tribute to Doctor Who.

An Adventure in Space and Time is an important tale. Not only does it reveal the origins of a legendary series which is one of the longest-running shows ever, but it also represents a bold, brave era for the network.

"Movin' Out" works because it has a lot of mostly enjoyable versions of great songs. It also uses characters effectively in decent stories.

In the end, "The Day of the Doctor" provides a satisfying adventure incorporating elements and Doctors both old and new, really delivering something new, exciting, fun, and special to honor five decades on the air.

The show remains as hilarious as ever, not having lost anything with age, and still finding new ways to go with its story.
