The magic dissipated in #3 but unity, bromance, and a pulverizing ending held it up. 06-Aug-2019

There can't be much to disconcert when with every dedication and homage you are dealt original cards with likeable imprinted players and a perplexing with soul reflexing game.

Wynona is unwavering in motherhood vs sanity as David Harbour is papa Bear strength. The kids are inherent, funny and affecting. Millie Bobbi Brown is tasked with conveyance of eye speak and she handles it beautifully.

Success is achieved through inspiration not impersonation. 29-Aug-2016

Oops, I thought the show was evolving. 29-Nov-2018

They gambled 7 minutes too long. The alpha phased out. 05-Nov-2018

It ended to satiate the fans, bathed from blood of a cliched and predictable heart plus a curtain close. 03-Apr-2017

Mature grit. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to interpret as we wish. 09-Nov-2016

Color only adds adornment to an American sweet as we celebrate more classic detail. 23-Dec-2017

If you want to see an intelligent, rightly obsessive and fermented professional scourge the hypocritical aspects of her life... her name is Surrane Jones. She releases our anger and puts it to rest. 19-Aug-2018

...because Samantha stood for every unappreciated group that the child in me could figure out
...because it can't be sexist if its a "happy couple"
...because even when the fx failed them they never deferred from perfection... because for every three they missed they got one so perfectly right
...because Paul Lynde was a great gay uncle when they weren't allowed to socially exist
...because ever since this show capitalized on what magic should be we have been pretending that magic doesn't exist (except in realistic boring conjuring ways)
...because Gladys Kravitz (Alice Pearce) and the artist who created her epitomized the nosy neighbor until she became understood
...because Endora (Agnes Moorehead) is the lesbian Drag mother-in-law we deserve
...because Elizabeth Montgomery can kick Harry Potter's ass with just one twitch. 21-Jun-2018

It delivers on the promise of throwback and mythology aside. You'll still believe. 18-Nov-2015

The show may have its blemishes but the whole is resplendent. There are frequent instances where Ronald D. Moore will ask the viewers to commence anew with contrasting situations and characters but he always relies on the one constant that upholds the story...romance. Caitrona Balfe as Claire Randall Fraser who compels Sam Heughan's Jamie Fraser from brute to man is the force of the show and the sentimentality. Balfe has a warming timbre and luxurious tilt. I want her to read me a story and in this situation she executes it persuasively. Heughan is virile, protective and heroic. His "Sassenach" phrase can inflame like his stature can overcome. Once we explore the cultivation of their coupling all exposition depends on the chemistry they have in bales to spare us.

This season the makers awarded us with what appeared to be the closing of a story and the prospect of letting us imagine the best end scenario for the doomed lovers. It was fearless, mature and gut wrenching. Unlike its brethren, Outlander's contentious moments were few and provoking but thanks to regardful writing we were allowed to heal along with the characters. The show validates Battlestar Galactica's proficiency as no fluke and Moore and his staff inspired.

Tobias Menzies as the nefarious Captain Randall is unnerving because the writers have the boldness to endow his character with the backstory of a damaged survivor whose actor civilizes him. You hate the character but respect the performer for defining the monster with the right amount of fine tuning.

Graham McTavish as Dougal Mackenzie and Jamie's uncle is bountiful Daddy Squish with some choice acting skills that impelled us to always question the character, his intentions and our investment. Dashing.

I don't know how the story can continue with the completion of the season finale but I'm tuning in and hoping that these creators can overcome the structure and deliver us noble artistry once again.

It's discouraging to think that so many people need to create such an hallucinatory consciousness to help guide them through this world. It initiates weakness. The premier reason to watch is to see Jude Law's nefarious beauty dominate and discharge like the President before us. The fun like the glint in his eyes and impish smile is a performance and it is its relief. Elegantly staged, carefully crafted and intelligent its also complicated and a bit repetitive. His flashbacks keep adding to the same point, week after week. The point may be limited which means there will be lots of filler. Keaton is just as marvelous but I have no sense of where she stands yet. We shall wait and see if it develops like Westworld or if it flounces away. 01-Feb-2017

Uh oh. Everything is amped up this season except the scathing and the brilliance. The message it conveys is much needed but why is it just slapped on with little respect for cohesion? It makes characters unlikeable. 14-Oct-2016

So far there isn't much to complain about. Adorability factor is high, the performers are top notch and fun and their truth makes me laugh. Keep doing that and you're good. 14-Mar-2016

Watching a wounded bird try to fly. Heartbreaking. Beautifully treated and acted by beautiful people. 09-Dec-2015

What a surprising rollercoaster ride. Everything that True Blood couldn't be. Meaty, pounding and provocative. These are mature Scoobies. These actors are wearing the characters not just the clothes. Kick-ass Kool. 20-Oct-2015
