    At its best--which it is more often than not--The New Yorker Presents is a continuation of that legacy, not just an extension of the brand.

    The show’s half-hour format does a lot to recommend itself to viewers and not seem too daunting an investment of both time and brain-space. It all feels inherently easily digestible, and the hopscotching through topics keeps things fun and effervescent.

    Watching the series is a bit like skipping through the magazine--a little of this, a little of that, always interesting.

    Should you care about avant-garde artist Marina Abramovic, ambient B-roll of an NYC barbershop, and sketch comedy featuring Paul Giamatti as french writer Honore de Balzac, you're in luck. Otherwise, prepare for an uneven watch that's often skippable as the unread issues piling up on your coffee table. [19/26 Feb 2016, p.109]
