Marvel's Inhumans Season 1 Review: 1.3: Divide and Conquer
Unfortunately, the second week of Marvel's Inhumans was more of the same. As the title implies, the characters each went on their own separate journey. None of these stories were particularly interesting. Things like Medusa...

Silicon Valley Season 4 Finale Review: 4.10: Server Error
Despite a meandering season, the Silicon Valley season 4 finale managed to deliver a satisfying ending, at least superficially. Jack Barker's ego, Bertram Gilfoyle's hack of Jian Yang's refrigerator and Richard Hendricks' one-night stand with...

iZombie Season 3 Review: 3.12: Looking for Mr. Goodbrain, Part 1
The penultimate episode of iZombie season 3 was a perfect example of what makes this one of the best dramas on TV. Even at its most emotionally devastating, it peppers in moments that make it...
