  1. The plotting is intricate, the entire acting ensemble is first-rate.
  2. Of course it's formulaic, but the cast is inviting and the formula works.
  3. Judging by the first two hours, Deception is not as seductive as "Revenge" and contains even more clunky acting and just as much melodramatic music.
  4. This is put-your-feet-up, pour-a-brandy television, a tasty import that's good company for a culture undergoing its own sometimes dizzying shifts.
  5. The new season contains more laugh-out-loud funny moments, the characters are well defined and the male characters get more prominence.
  6. It would be naughty to call it dry. But the lack of personalities leaves the viewer groping for an angle. The overwhelming nature of the event begins to feel overwhelming on the couch, too.
  7. The goal is not an academic history but a backstage, groupie-eye view. While it's familiar territory for longtime Stones fans, it works.
  8. It's a strange amalgam of behind-the-scenes imagining, video simulations, archival footage and patriotic odes to the military regarding a rather recent event.
  9. As an immersive experience for viewers who wouldn't think of getting this close to war zones, the Witness films are amazing documents.
  10. The Girl, directed by Julian Jarrold, impeccably re-creates the film technology of the time. It also delivers a psychologically astute reading of one of Hollywood's more bizarre entanglements.
  11. It's easy to get hooked on the drama's fast-paced, international intrigue and tony visuals (shot in London, Scotland and Morocco). It's almost enough to keep you from contemplating some of the more outrageous turns.
  12. "Grey's" keeps the high-school analogy to itself. Emily Owens M.D. never stops making the too-obvious comparisons out loud.
  13. What Nashville on ABC and "Arrow" on the CW have in common, is appealing characters in well-plotted stories.
  14. What "Nashville" on ABC and Arrow on the CW have in common, is appealing characters in well-plotted stories.
  15. Better than a haunted house story, 666 Park has the potential to seduce audiences with a mix of grandeur, drama and horror and an underlying message on what's truly valuable in life.
  16. Vegas is likely to be successful simply because, at heart, it's a CBS crime procedural with cowboy threads.
  17. Conflicts and tortured characters abound. Unfortunately, the drama goes somewhat soggy when the camera leaves the tight confines of the submarine and the complex plotlines twist into knots.
  18. Purists will miss the trappings of 221B Baker Street. But Elementary is appealing on several counts. Count No. 1 is Miller.
  19. The casting and direction are solid. We'll stick with it for now to see if there's growth in the character relationships, too.
  20. If you like dark action-adventure with a deep mythology, you may enjoy this suspenseful hour, intended to perplex as it entertains. For some viewers, however, the questions will get in the way.
  21. A little bit screechy, a little bit preachy, NBC's The New Normal is nonetheless the best comedy of the season--a season short on innovative comedies.
  22. Some are going to embrace this new freedom; others are going to be overwhelmed. The very personal reactions make for grand voyeurism.
  23. Set in 1870s London, the tightly focused story of manipulative men, trapped women, an inappropriate, even abusive doctor, plus diary entries containing dreams of escape adds up to an inviting, rather highbrow wallow.
  24. The Scotts have held onto enough of the memorable 1978 movie adaptation of Robin Cook's novel to pay tribute, but added enough to make it feel contemporary.
  25. The second hour is more engrossing than the first, and is easily rich enough to keep us coming back for more.
  26. Frankly, the acting merits more accolades than the storylines so far.
  27. HBO tackles some familiar territory--beauty and the perils of aging, crowsfeet to sagging cheeks--but treats the subject from several new angles thanks to the candor of the older, wiser, still stunning former models.
  28. Byrne is trapped in a mediocre effort he created with Rob Long of "Cheers" that's best forgotten.
  29. Think the Clintons meet "Dallas" in D.C. And that, for six episodes, may be enough.
  30. Producer Terence Wrong once again delivers fast-paced, narration-free, riveting footage, thanks to video crews who spent four months, unescorted and unhindered, with hospital personnel and patients at crisis points in their lives.
