Martha Trydahl 
The Netflix powerhouse Ozark is now in its second season, and moving on to the third. With obvious ties to Breaking Bad, the series follows the life of mild-mannered financial advisor Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) who is laundering money for the Mexican drug cartel. Ozark’s first season was a vicious cycle of catastrophes. The characters […]

TV Review: HBO’s “Sharp Objects” is Slowing Down
August 15, 2018 1:31 pm Martha Trydahl 
HBO’s Sunday night star, Sharp Objects, takes place in Wind Gap, Missouri, which is within “spittin’ distance to Tennessee.” The show’s location is another character in the show. Small town life and the people in it play a large part in the plot. The show opens spectacularly. Two young girls are gone: Anne Nash was […]
TV Review: HBO’s Expertly Cast Dramedy “Barry”
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. TNT’s The Alienist follows the well-worn pattern of this genre: the team leader who obsessively researches the characteristics of a serial killer in order to find the suspect, and a motley crew to help them see […]
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 […]
