I am hideously late in posting this review, but I had a lot to say about season six of Game of Thrones. First and foremost, while I have read a lot of criticism of this season online, I found season six to be thrilling, with the show as good as it has ever been if […]

While there are many shows that take a while to find themselves, The Americans was strong right out of the gate. I was hooked very quickly in the first season, and the show has continued to develop and deepen. The recently concluded fourth season was superb, very possibly the show
