    It's more of a kindhearted family show--but it does need some kind of edge.
  1. The acting lacks conviction, but with a script this predictably sudsy, acting chops aren't at the top of the required list.
  2. Mulaney often feels inauthentic and forced. However, one gets a feeling that like his smart stand-up material, Mulaney is aware of the awkwardness of his chosen format and is using it to his advantage. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.83]
  3. The show tries (too) hard for laughs ... Walsh does what she can with the material, but by the twelfth time she utters the word "dude," her efforts fall flat.
  4. A show that offers few laughs and just as much entertainment.
  5. For a comedy, We Are Men is, in a word, sad.
  6. The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey takes a while to find its footing, but when it does, it's undeniably engaging, especially for true-crime enthusiast.
  7. With such a superior comedy cast, it's deplorable how far this badly written and directed show has dragged them down.
  8. Beyond blissful laughs, Parks and Recreation offers a healthy image of political cooperation at a time when we could really use it.

    There was a certain circuitousness to the plotlines that Archer Vice not only interrupts, but short-circuits completely.

    Ronson is the glue that holds it all together, threading through his childhood, early interest in music, professional experiences (his recollections of his time with Amy Winehouse are to be savored) and personal geekdom.
  9. The themes of women’s rights and sociological progress are strong throughout this season. Contraception, that was so controversial in earlier seasons is becoming commonplace. ... Call the Midwife stays in step with its times. Only seven episodes this season is simply not enough.
  10. There are a lot of roadblocks before Sheila gets everything she is working for and none of them are rehashes of those she navigated in Season 1. This is a brand-new hell for Sheila, with enough redemptions along the way to keep you rooting for her.
  11. The first few episodes of Season Three are overly saccharine. ... Thankfully, this cloying approach fades away relatively soon and Trying reverts to its winning and likeable personality.
  12. Do non-music people care why they don’t have to pay to listen to music? The grammatically incorrectly titled How Music Got Free tells the story of [how] this came to be, which, arguably, most music people already know the story.
  13. Nothing feels staged in the film’s accounts. The subjects are honest, even when it doesn’t reflect well on them.
  14. Unquestionably, the marquee names like Rhoads and Dimebag will draw the most attention. But every installment of Into the Void is worth watching. Just don’t binge it. The content is relentlessly heavy (pun only half intended) and is best consumed with a lighthearted sitcom chaser.
