Toni and Candace deliver an Oscar-worthy performance in one of Portlandia’s best episodes to date. Is there anyone on television more ahead of the curve than Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein?

But for the first time in his recent string of New Year donnybrooks, even Neeson looks inescapably bored. We can understand, however, Bryans refusal to see her as a grown up....
What were getting here is major-league grief and a double-sided manhunt with Neeson on the warpath hungry for retribution. I look forward to seeing that, but I also feel bad for Mills.

That mesmerising lub-dub drum beat seems to get stronger, as our protagonist appears to grow more human-like. You find yourself wondering what on earth Johanssons ET would make of the album if she heard it. There are films about folk singers. There are others accompanied by folk singers.

Weve seen him grow from the impatient young hothead of 1920 to someone a little more world-weary and considered. How did you approach the task of showing that ten-year growth while keeping true to the character? Thank you for that. Its fun to play. Ad content continues below I bet it is.

Broadchurch series two eases back into its investigation with clockwork-precise plotting and characteristically strong performances… Warning: this review contains spoilers. Were all hooked of course. As was ITVs plan. The first episode was more a mathematical achievement than anything else. The hour reminded us a little too forcefully and too often perhaps that nobodys innocent and everybodys hiding things. were being asked to consider whether or not Joe Miller is really Dannys killer after all....
We spend a few nights inside Arkham Asylum in the latest episode of Gotham, “Rogues Gallery.” Here’s Mike’s review… ThisGothamreview contains spoilers. Ive been tough onGothamthis year. Plus, remember how miserableAgents of SHIELDwas for much of its first season? With that polite preamble out of the way, Im so conflicted about this episode.
