This is a good summer mystery to take your mind off the heat.

Oh my goodness is this one filled with testosterone, reminding me a bit of FX’s “Sons of Anarchy.” ... Watch for Shawn Hatosy (“Southland”). He's creepy good as the whacko son with a mean streak.

It’s a family comedy, one of many on the network, that, at times, has its moments. There’s just too few of them.

There are lots of sight gags here, with many of them involving the very funny Rhys Darby.

Other than Zane, the acting is sub-par and the writing painful.

The Kings’ clever summer horror thriller.

Schwimmer and Sturgess are so darn good in their roles you forgive the writers. Schwimmer, for instance, uses those sad, puppy dog eyes of his to play up his grief, and Sturgess really has the charming cad thing down. They really cook up some chemistry in the scenes with just them.

While the first episode lacks development of any of the characters outside of Kunta Kinte, a young man taken from Africa and sold into slavery in the United States, it still resonates. It’s a story that needs to be told again.

The first hour is confusing and the acting a bit forced, so it may try your patience.

Pulling it all together is the cast. Cooper is fierce and weathered, Negga is spunky smart and Gilgun is just a joy to watch and hear, with that thick Irish accent of his.

The drama is light-hearted, perfect-for-summer fare. It’s a procedural that relies on its setting--you can expect other historical figures such as Bram Stoker and Thomas Edison to make appearances--and comic banter between the three main characters to make it attractive to viewers.

The story’s fine. It’s just filled with a bunch of overacting and poorly orchestrated scenes.

A bit contrived at times--how many times have we seen an uninvited police detective hanging back at a funeral to initiate a confrontation--Game of Silence offers a so-so compelling tale.

It has its moments. It just needs a few more of them.

The Detour is sharply written--Jones and Bee co-wrote the pilot--and uses flashbacks to help progress storylines. It’s dark at times, and, at other times completely and hilariously over the top.

The pilot is mildly amusing. Neither Foo, nor Hires, is as engaging as Tucker and Chan, and the chemistry between them is lacking.

George is the reason to tune in. She’ll be the reason why you keep coming back.

The comedy comes off as a less funny “Modern Family,” with the daughters uncannily similar (one’s dim and fashionable; the other is smart and geeky) to the “MF” girls.

[Enos is] kind of fun, especially when she’s matching wits with the veteran Krause. And Krause is perfect. He’s smooth, suave and charming. You’re rooting as much for him to elude Enos as you are for Enos to catch him. Let’s hope this chase lasts awhile.

Damien is nothing more than cliche, right down to the use of Rottweilers as hellhounds.

What makes the series click are the peripheral characters. Margot Bingham plays a detective who thought she solved the case, and Florina Lima is the newspaper reporter who suspects something’s hinky with the Warrens. The best is veteran actor Andrew McCarthy, who plays the neighbor imprisoned for the boy’s murder and released after his sudden return. He is intense and scary.

The drama starts a little slow as we’re introduced to Hap, Leonard and Trudy, but once Trudy recruits the men to help her, the show kicks into gear. The fun becomes watching the two men make the most of the bad situations that seem to befall them.

The trouble is they are just normal--and not very funny.

[Bobby Cannavale's] performance is something to behold. Music, not surprisingly, is the driving force here, used creatively and effectively in scene transitions, as scene setters and in performances.

The performances, especially Gooding’s and Travolta’s, are over the top, but, heck, so were the real-life events. Gooding and Travolta show just how sensational the whole thing was. The trial captured a nation’s imagination, and, more than 20 years later, it still does.

This one’s worth watching for Richard Dreyfus’ performance as the scheming con man, Bernie Madoff.

Ellis is charming, but this nothing more than another buddy cop procedural.

This one’s preachy, overly dramatic and everything you would expect from a show like this.
