Girls
04/16/2012
For the brilliantly observed Girls, HBO’s latest foray into the realm of half-hour comedy, the network has paired writer/star Lena Dunham, current darling of the indie scene, with exec producer Judd Apatow, king of the thirty-something life crisis comedy, in what appears to be a match made in heaven. A notable member of the SXSW alum (her feature debut Tiny Furniture won the top prize back in 2009), Dunham’s careful exploration of white, privileged, middle-class angst is unsurprisingly rooted in the mumblecore tradition, with a little by the way of Wes Anderson’s fetishism for tight interior shots and flat, portrait composition thrown in to boot.

Scandal
04/09/2012
Late to the party by even midseason replacement standards, ABC’s glitteringly high-concept, dazzlingly lowbrow, political intrigue procedural clocks in at a lean seven episodes. It’s a miniseries rather than a full season. Good thing, too, as any longer in the company of characters as insufferable, as impossibly self-inflated, and as downright self-satisfied as this lot would have even the most patient primetime aficionado reaching for the sharp edges of his or her TV dinner tray. Kerry Washington stars as Olivia Pope, former a former White House insider who now heads up Olivia Pope Associates.

Nurse Jackie - Season Four
04/09/2012
“Redundancy is the enemy of efficiency” barks Mike Cruz (Bobby Cannavale), a corporate doctor looking to meddle All Saints Hospital to profitability as part of the overriding arc for Nurse Jackie’s newly premiered fourth season. It’s also the enemy of good television, too. So many once mighty series charge out of the gate at a gallop, only to stagnate after a few seasons, endlessly repeating the same story beats over and over (Rescue Me, Californication, Heroes, etc.), their quality fixed on an uninterrupted, downward trajectory.

Game Of Thrones - Season Two
04/07/2012
While the rampant global popularity of the likes of the Harry Potter series and Twilight have heralded a seismic shift in the way fantasy fiction is received, few amongst us can honestly say hand-on-heart that they saw this one coming. An expensive punt for prestigious, premium cable network HBO, this wholly adult blend of political intrigue, hack-and-slash heroics, and copious amounts of smoldering sex simply exploded out of the gate and soon became a bone fide global phenomenon. Everyone was talking about this show.

Transformers Prime
04/02/2012
Transformers Prime has shown that there is a formula that works in mixing nostalgia with fresh ideas. The show’s second season premiered last month and has helped fledgling channel ‘The Hub’ grow significantly in the past year. The show is not just a flimsy marketing ploy devoid of substance either, as it has already won two Emmy’s this past year. The latest episode, Loose Cannons, helped to provide the audience with something old, something new, and something borrowed. The episode begins in the Autobot base where Optimus Prime and the other Autobots hear a message from their human contact, Special Agent William Fowler (voiced by Ernie Hudson).

Mad Men - Season Five
03/26/2012
It’s been 18 long, agonizing months since Season 4 of AMC’s Mad Men left us dangling on the cliffhanger of whether or not maverick Don Draper (Jon Hamm) had finally found a relationship that he could be content with. Eighteen months since we last glided through the hallowed, smoky halls that are the offices of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price, home to such a compelling set of impeccably dressed, perfectly miserable souls fretting over their throbbing insecurities, rotating indiscretions and rank hypocrisy.
