    Edgy and dark, this is the shadow version of "The Waltons."

    If you relish the devious darkness of "Dexter" and the wonderful wackiness of "Weeds," you'll love the macabre moodiness of "Meadowlands."

    Fans of "The Sopranos" looking for a new Sunday-night must-see may find it here - though perhaps not fans driven to fits by that HBO hit's ambiguous conclusion.

    Whether this is all weirdness for weirdness' sake or something more complex isn't clear, not even after the first four episodes.

    Relentlessly odd as "Meadowlands" can be, don't be surprised if it seduces you.

    Superb, finally a TV show that creates a mood that lingers after the episode is watched....and my friends and I can't stop watching. Superb, finally a TV show that creates a mood that lingers after the episode is watched....and my friends and I can't stop watching. Actors are magnificent. The Brogans feel like a real family, as do the Oglives and the rest. Can't wait to see Ninth episode....make it soon!… Full Review »
