In the finale of AMC’s multi-Emmy-winning BREAKING BAD, Bryan Cranston’s indelible Walter White went out with a bang. However, the universe created by Vince Gilligan is back in a prequel, BETTER CALL SAUL, which premiered Sunday, February 8, before settling into its regular Monday-night timeslot at 10 PM the following night. BETTER CALL SAUL centers on the character played by Bob Odenkirk, Walt’s dodgy lawyer Saul Goodman, back when he was still going by his real name of Jimmy McGill and still had integrity left to lose. Jimmy has a beloved, ailing older brother, Chuck (Michael McKean), and is just […]Read On »

THE WALKING DEAD, in four seasons, has provided a lush, rich zombie apocalypse – the closest we’ve ever had to a TV series capturing the complexities and nuances of the best of zombie feature films, most notably the cannon of […]Read On »

In big-picture terms, everyone knows the outcome when the British colonies in North America rose up against England in the 1770s. However, relatively few people know about the Culper spy ring, which was instrumental in the eventual victory of the Continental Army. AMC’s new series TURN, Sundays at 10 PM, is based on the nonfiction book WASHINGTON’S SPIES: THE STORY OF AMERICA’S FIRST SPY RING by Alexander Rose. Set in 1778, as the Revolutionary War continues to rage (the Declaration of Independence wasn’t the end of hostilities), the series, follows initially reluctant Culper Ring recruit Abraham Woodhull (Jamie Bell).

Gimple Director: Greg Nicotero Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: October 13, 2013 With a show like THE WALKING DEAD, change is expected and almost necessary in order to keep a show fresh and interesting. After last year’s exceptional storyline involving the competing communities of Woodbury and the Prison, it would make sense that the series would move forward. It’s done that almost with the Season 4 premiere “30 Days Without An Accident”, but it also feels more of […]Read On »

Stars:  Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk Writer: Vince Gilligan Director: Vince Gilligan Network: AMC, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: September 29, 2013 I’ve had some time to digest “Felina,” the series finale of BREAKING BAD, and while, like the series itself, this episode is a great achievement and has given me ample food for thought over the past week, I feel uneasy because I can only offer support for it that’s a mile wide but an inch deep. That the show’s creators had enough of a handle on their dense and […]Read On »
