From Dusk Till Dawn 1.01 “Pilot”

All in all, serviceable is about the best description I can muster for the first episode of From Dusk Till Dawn.

The Walking Dead 4.13 “Alone”

So while those wheels are spinning, it's not entirely without purpose. But a stronger script would have helped.

House of Cards Season 1

Jeffrey Roth, Paul Brian McCoy

All Binge... No Purge

March 14, 2014 1 18

If you don't like a lot of scheming behind closed doors punctuated by occasional acts of violence, this show is not for you.

The Walking Dead 4.12 “Still”

Paul Brian McCoy

March 9, 2014 1 11

He's bridging the gap and setting himself up to suffer the most.

Advance Review: The Venture Bros.: The Fifth Season Blu-ray

All Binge... No Purge

March 2, 2014 2 7

Each episode seemed to get better than the one before it, and once we hit episode 5, "O.S.I. Love You" it's just a non-stop solid gold dance party in my head.

The Walking Dead 4.11 “Claimed”

We're finally getting to see just what Gurira can do.

The Grandmaster (2013) Blu-ray Review

February 27, 2014 1 10

This is a beautiful film that forgot that it was supposed to tell a story. Except for a brief shining moment toward the end. And that's a different story than we were sold.

Helix 1.08 “Bloodline”

Paul Brian McCoy

Well played, Helix. I'm back on board.

Hannibal Season One Blu-ray

If you love horror and the grotesque as well as emotionally raw acting and virtuoso crafting, then Hannibal Season One is something you need to not only see, but to have on your shelf.

Helix 1.07 “Survivor Zero”

So now the question is, why keep watching this show? I really don't have an answer for that.

The Walking Dead 4.10 “Inmates”

Paul Brian McCoy

February 21, 2014 3 3

I, personally, wouldn't name a place Terminus and expect good things to happen there.

Helix 1.06 “Aniqatiga”

Paul Brian McCoy

February 19, 2014 2 12

Of course, there are some things about Helix that I guess I'm just going to have to learn to live with.

Helix 1.04 “Single Strand” & 1.05 “The White Room”

Paul Brian McCoy

February 18, 2014 0 12

I really don't know what to make of all this. It's mostly bad, but there are glimmers of hope here and there.

The Walking Dead 4.09 “After”

Paul Brian McCoy

February 16, 2014 0 8

Which leads to an emotional outburst with swordplay. My favorite kind!

Agents of SHIELD 1.13 “T.R.A.C.K.S.”

Paul Brian McCoy

February 6, 2014 0 14

It's easily the best episode since the pilot.

So you thought it was all over, did you?

Agents of SHIELD 1.12 “Seeds”

Paul Brian McCoy

January 21, 2014 0 11

That's a pretty classic Whedonesque move right there.

Helix 1.03 “274”

Paul Brian McCoy

January 17, 2014 0 11

Personally, I'd say it was right up there with the strongest episodes of my two favorite shows from last year, Hannibal (NBC) and Utopia (UK's Channel 4).

Helix 1.01 & 1.02 “Pilot” & “Vector”

Paul Brian McCoy

January 15, 2014 0 6

I plan on checking out another episode or two. If I gave Almost Human that long to find its footing, it would be a crime to not to do the same for a real science fiction show.

Agents of SHIELD 1.11 “The Magical Place”

Paul Brian McCoy

January 14, 2014 0 12

"The Magical Place" is one of the better episodes, but it still suffers from a lack of, for a better word, ambition.
