April 19, 2018 1:00 pm
Martha Trydahl 
Barry is a surprisingly complex show co-created by Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) and Alec Berg (Silicon Valley). Whatever you do, don’t start watching this series expecting to LOL your way through every episode. Barry is more of a dark dramedy. Barry Berkman (Hader) is a former Marine who suffers from depression, which Hader and […]
TV Review: Starz’s “Counterpart” Worth the Price of Admission
April 11, 2018 12:00 pm Martha Trydahl 
I know, I know. Just what you need. Another subscription. But trust me, Counterpart is worth it. The Starz series was created and produced by Justin Marks, who is best known for his 2016 Jungle Book screenplay. You’ll also catch him in Counterpart cameos as Alexander Pope’s (Stephen Rea) dog walker. The incomparable J.K. Simmons […]

February 22, 2018 11:10 am Martha Trydahl 
If you’re looking for a hit show about the psychology of a serial killer, you’ve probably seen it already.

TV Review: Slow Going for HBO’s “Gunpowder”
January 19, 2018 10:00 am Martha Trydahl 
Kit Harington’s new show, Gunpowder, which was created and produced by Harington, just wrapped up a few weeks ago. The show reeks of a self-indulgent pet project for Harington, who just so happens to be a distant relative of Robert Catesby, his character in the show. Gunpowder takes place in early 1600s England, when a […]

TV Review: Exquisite Storytelling in Netflix’s “Godless”
December 6, 2017 11:00 am Martha Trydahl 
If you’ve seen any of the Godless trailers, you may think this show is a “feminist Western” about a town full of women. But that’s not what it’s about at all. It’s really a classic Western with some female-forward components. That’s not to say it’s bad. Godless, written and directed by Scott Frank, is an […]
