Quick Take review – The Following 3×01: ‘New Blood’

March 3, 2015 by Joe Lipsett

The Following is back for a shocking third season (shocking in that it has made it this far) and the show is now…a snoozefest?

Quick Take review – The Following 2×03: ‘Trust Me’

February 4, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

The Following continues to dredge the bottom of the barrel. There are a few glimmers of hope, but as always this show simply can’t resist reverting back to its true form: a total suckfest.

Quick Take review – The Following 2×01: ‘Resurrection’

January 20, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

We like crime dramas. We like serial killers (on TV). We like Bacon (both the six degrees of and the breakfast meat). So why don’t we love The Following?

Homeland review – 2×01: ‘The Smile’

October 1, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of Showtime

Well, well, well. Sunday night is easily the craziest night for high quality television, but the only show I’ve been truly waiting for with bated breath is Showtime’s Homeland. Last year I named it the best show in the first annual Bitch Awards (TVAngie named it second best) and last week the show took home the Emmy for Best Drama. So clearly the show’s sophomore season would never be able to live up to the hype, right?

Wrong.
