TV Review: Gracepoint (1×05) – “Episode Five”

I can’t get over my dislike of Anna Gunn’s portrayal of Ellie, and that’s a major sore spot in Gracepoint. Ellie is written differently than how she’s played by Gunn. She’s written with a sense of humor, with a core…

TV Review: Fox’s Gotham 1×6, “Spirit of the Goat”

More small steps this week, but I am at least getting what I asked for.  Bullock has been a point of contention, as I like Donal Logue, but he can only do so much with a character so underwritten.  Not…

TV Review: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2×03) – “The Jimmy Jab Games”

There are two things that stood out to me about this week’s episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Amy and Jake’s relationship and how it could either go the way of will they/won’t they tension or be put to rest and show…
