An addictive show, with great cast, excellent writing.

Battlestar Galactica is a worthy successor to Sci Fi's late and much lamented "Farscape." That's about as high as our praise gets. [9 Jan 2005, p.11]

The fourth season was great. The fifth at least needs to match it, and the evidence so far establishes that it will.

Watch this, and you'll be tuning in next week.

Monday night's return of Dallas is a joy and everything fans could ask for--the past, present and future all skillfully bound up in a high-gloss melodrama full of deceit, greed, Velveeta and (surprisingly enough) even love.

One of the flat-out funniest half-hours of television in the English-speaking world.

The first season was initially hagiography masking as a high-end TV series, but the second season is Vanity Fair, full of characters, life, humor, passion and buttered scones. Morgan not only has a series to match his 2006 Oscar-winning movie, “The Queen,” but finally one to exceed it. The Crown--the second season, anyway--is magnificent.

The most fantastic program I've seen in my 18 years as a TV critic. [21 Jan 1988]

The Shield (this season and every season) is an intoxicating head-gamer of a show that grabs you by the throat.

Best series of the year so far. Easily.

Everything is pushed right to the edge, and that it doesn't topple over in a flaming heap is tribute to a pair of brilliant performances--though Damon's is first among equals--and an absorbing production that is morbidly fascinating from start to finish.

Riveting, important and lots of fun.

A work of TV art. ... It's a major, major series - a masterpiece, with great characters. The writing is textured, deep, rich. [26 Apr 1988]

Disgusting--but in a good way.

Better, richer, more compelling than season one.

Halt finally looks like a series going someplace important, and worth viewers going there with it.

They know how to nail situations/characters, while snappy edits cull fluff, leaving only comic gold.

The end begins--evocatively, dramatically.

While a deeply moving tribute to those we have lately come to call "heroes," this proves they've been heroes all along. (It was filmed before the pandemic.) A can't-miss beauty.

The Affair might be an exercise in literary gamesmanship if the acting and writing weren't so strong, or the setting so evocative.... Engrossing.

Pure joy and the tribute Nichols finally deserves.

This still very much feels like a journey worth taking if only because--in the process--Hamm deftly continues to locate some heroic facet in TV's reigning anti-hero.

Douglass comes to life, or those words vividly do.

The TV breakout Glover fans have been waiting for, also unlike anything else on TV.

What it's really about is the stuff that dreams are made of. As this third season will remind true-blue fans, that stuff can be very funny indeed. ... Hilarious.

Funny, melancholy, flawless.

One of TV's bleakest shows is also one of TV's best comedies. What a marvel.

A stunning, brilliant, terrifying launch to TV's best series.
