The Beatles: Get Back: Season 1 (2021) 93% EDIT “Get Back is the noble kind of nostalgia project. It rises to the unenviable task of offering new insights into one of the most documented music careers of all time.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 30, 2021 Full Review I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson: Season 2 (2021) 100% EDIT “It feels unpredictable. It feels like one of the best sketch shows out.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 6, 2021 Full Review That Damn Michael Che: Season 1 (2021) 100% EDIT “Like Saturday Night Live, it's pretty fun when it's not second-guessing and overthinking itself into a liberal fog.” – New York Magazine/Vulture May 11, 2021 Full Review Genius: Season 3 (2021) 71% EDIT “When it handles this business delicately, Genius: Aretha is a joy. But as much as it misses the mark, with another Aretha story already in the can, it's worth asking why this one needed to exist at all.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 13 (2016) EDIT “Episode 13 advanced some plot quirks that have been plaguing us for months. We finally get the full story of how Dwight Walker became Lucious Lyon and all the lurid details of his troubled childhood.” – New York Times Apr 14, 2016 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 12 (2016) EDIT “It's typical bulletproof Lucious villainy, but in fairness, Lucious and Jamal's peaceful competition for the ASA Awards was never going to last, and the song we got out of the squabble is the show's best in some time.” – New York Times Apr 7, 2016 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 11 (2016) EDIT “Jamal's song about the freedom to sleep with whomever he likes proves Empire can be sharp on sexuality when it wants. It's hard to think of the last time a television show cared enough to explain the finer points of sexual fluidity to a national audience.” – New York Times Apr 1, 2016 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 10 (2015) EDIT “The main event successfully made pretty bows out of a number of the season's loose yarns.” – New York Times Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 9 (2015) EDIT “It's getting increasingly tricky to discern whether the patriarch is acting as a hip-hop King Lear looking to cede the reins of the kingdom to worthy successors or a tyrant taking stock of his puppets. Chances are, with Lucious, it's a bit of both.” – New York Times Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 7 (2015) EDIT “In an Empire season that has drawn its strength from the dizzying unpredictability of its moves, Episode 7 felt like a bit of a come down.” – New York Times Nov 12, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 6 (2015) EDIT “Hakeem's unearned bravado frequently makes him insufferable, so the vulnerability he radiates throughout the crisis and its aftermath is rewarding, whetever the cost, though he still manages to treat his family poorly throughout.” – New York Times Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 5 (2015) EDIT “Season two of Empire is all about extremely awkward Lyon family gatherings, and episode five doesn't disappoint.” – New York Times Oct 22, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 4 (2015) EDIT “Props to Cookie, though, for invoking Sandra Bland, the African-American woman whose mysterious death in police custody was ruled a suicide this summer, during her arrest. ("If I die in police custody, it was not a suicide!")” – New York Times Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 3 (2015) EDIT “Gatz is the best pure rapper on Empire, a wordsmith of commendable character and grace. But more important to the plot, the character is volatile and unpredictable.” – New York Times Oct 8, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 2, Episode 2 (2015) EDIT “It's getting delightfully tricky to tell who's a genuine threat to the Lyon family's well-being and who's a short-stay special guest meant to be done away with before the credits roll.” – New York Times Oct 1, 2015 Full Review
