I was just preparing myself to see Jon Bernthal at a local comic con when a trailer for BJ Novak’s The Premise came out. I saw Jon Bernthal pop his head in and that was all the convincing I needed. Not only that, but there were only five half hour episodes making up this anthology series, so I knew it wasn’t going to be a huge time commitment either. The results were bizarre, but the social commentary was like a blinding light, making me laugh quite a bit.

A Teacher Miniseries Review
FX on Hulu’s A Teacher, is a drama adapted from a movie of the same name, but starring a few more recognizable names and the ability to flesh the story out a bit more. I think this would have to be every filmmakers dream. Getting to tell a story that you’re passionate about in two different channels has to feel good. There were also enough years separating the two that creator, Hannah Fidell, could take the time to figure out parts she wanted to explore more deeply, or add more fine details to certain scenes.

Well, well, well. Things have finally taken a turn for the interesting on Fargo, and I’m here for it! There were apparitions, backstabbing, and (unexpected) reunions. I won’t keep you hanging!
Read moreFargo – Season 4, Episode 5
Just about at the half-way mark of this season of Fargo and the crazy is picking up even more! I imagine soon we’ll have a big shootout, and at this point I can’t even imagine who the survivors would be.
Read moreIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Seasons 11 & 12
At the rate I’m going, I’ll actually be finished with all 14 seasons of It’s Always Sunny is Philadelphia by the beginning of next week. That’s crazy. In just about two months I managed to watch 154 episodes of, if I’m being honest, pure genius comedy. Again, that’s crazy. Especially considering that I watch a lot of other shows and movies besides Sunny. Either way, this is about seasons 11 and 12 of the show, and they just keep one-upping themselves on ideas! These seasons is also where I’ve seen the most reference to prior season events than ever before. While you could watch an episode and still know what’s going on, it’s a nice little nod to fans who’ve watched all the way through.

I watched a lot of TV over the holiday weekend, so rather than hash out every last detail, I figured I’d give you the cliff notes and my two cents. Enjoy!
Read moreIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Season 5
The fifth season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is just as ridiculous as it’s previous four seasons, and for that, I love it. Sure, some episodes are more bonkers than in the past, but in general, the material is just so strong and so hilarious!

I’ve done better and I’ve done worse in terms of quantity and quality, but I’ll consider this weekend’s movie prospects a success regardless. Your high level recap awaits!
Read moreIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – Season 3
You’d think after three whole seasons now that I’d be used to the crass and borderline inappropriate content that’s coming out of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but you’d be mistaken. Again, I find it hilarious, and I assume the group of people who are offended by their brand of humor stopped watching after the first season (or episode), but I still find their topics of poking fun surprising.
Read moreIt’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – Season 2
I’ve managed to watch the second season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia last week, and just like season one, it was a little bit vulgar, entirely un-PC, and hilarious. I always have to remind myself of when these early seasons aired, because I have to think that some of these early episodes might not have been made. Their comedic styling is something that a lot of people would understand, but there’s probably almost an equally large group who wouldn’t and be totally outraged.
