Josh Reviews Mad Men Season 7.1
It’s a very rare thing when a TV series is able to end at a time and place of its creators’ choosing. There are many things that are problematic with today’s TV landscape, but I must say the recent trend of more TV series having this sort of opportunity is extremel
Josh Reviews Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1
It picked up a little bit in the final third, with the episodes set after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but nevertheless it’s hard to characterize the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as anything other than a colossal disappointment. When the show wa
Josh Reviews the Final Episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Shockingly, the animated TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars has, over the years, grown into a pretty terrific show and a fascinating expansion of the Star Wars saga. When the animated film was released to theatres back in 2008, I skipped it. I was totally soured on the prequels, an
Josh Reviews Sherlock Season 3!
I fell in love, last year, with the BBC’s modern-day reinvention of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock, when I watched the first two seasons on DVD. Starring Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, the show is a dynamic, clever spin on the Holmes mythos. (Click here for my review of
“…To Miss New Orleans” — Josh Bids Farewell to Treme
I think that The Wire is probably the greatest TV show ever made. And while my crazy love for that show has ensured that I will eagerly watch any future which in which David Simon (who created and ran The Wire along with Ed Burns) has a hand, I never expected that any of his [&helli
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Breaking Bad Season One
I’ve been wanting to start watching Breaking Bad since it first started. I never watched Malcolm in the Middle, but it seemed clearly to me that Bryan Cranston was a great actor, and seeing him in a dramatic role was appealing. And as a die-hard X-Files fan, I of course knew
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black Season One!
A few weeks ago, my wife convinced me that we needed to check out Netflix’s series (that was released over the summer) Orange is the New Black. I am glad she did, because we tore through the series’ thirteen-episode first season in just a little over a week, and I am thr
Josh’s Thoughts on the Pilot Episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Well, this past week the much-hyped premiere episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally arrived! (That is a lengthy title, and I think for simplicity’s sake I will just be referring to the show as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from here on in.) I am excited and intrig
Josh Reviews The Newsroom Season Two
The two-hour finale of The Newsroom season two, “Election Night” Parts I & II, were in my opinion probably as good as the show has ever been in its two short seasons on HBO (ten episodes in season one, only nine in season two). This is good news and bad, as on the on
“Not Great, Bob!” Josh Reviews Mad Men Season 6
Yes, I know the sixth season of Mad Men wrapped up a few months ago already, but it’s taken me a little while to catch up with this, the penultimate season of the show. What a fantastic season of television. I have written before that I enjoyed Mad Men from the beginning, and
