The Marriage Ref: Season 2 (2011) 0.5/4 EDIT “Gervais so thoroughly dismantles The Marriage Ref that it makes my job easy. "There's a lot of complaining on this show," he says at one point.” – Slant Magazine Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Hell's Kitchen: Season 7 (2010) 2.5/4 EDIT “The real problem with Hell's Kitchen, however, is that the show suffers, as it always has, from an edginess overload.” – Slant Magazine Mar 27, 2019 Full Review 3/4 EDIT “Regardless of whether the show's politics fall in line with your own, the duo has a refreshingly frank take on the world and neither cares if their beliefs offend anyone's precious sensibilities.” – Slant Magazine Mar 20, 2019 Full Review South Park: Season 14 (2010) 80% 3/4 EDIT “It's everyday childlike things mixed with perverse absurdities that keeps South Park grounded and funny.” – Slant Magazine Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Modern Family: Season 2 (2010) 88% 4/4 EDIT “Modern Family continues to balance frenzied slapstick with wit and heart, featuring one of the best ensemble casts on television.” – Slant Magazine Nov 7, 2018 Full Review Peep Show: Season 3 (2005) 4/4 EDIT “It's a credit to Mitchell and Webb as actors that they can manage to make these two sad, self-centered sacks so likable and appealing.” – Slant Magazine Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Friday Night Lights: Season 4 (2009) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “[It] manages to retain its depth and heart-wrenching warmth despite a sea change in its structure and characters.” – Slant Magazine Jan 31, 2014 Full Review Friday Night Lights: Season 5 (2010) 100% 3/4 EDIT “While this season's arc may be presented too broadly, with a cast this strong it's difficult not to become ensnared in the raw emotions of Dillon, Texas.” – Slant Magazine Nov 26, 2013 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 8 (2011) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Even though moving to New York only amounts to a change in window dressing, the minor tweak makes a surprising impact on a series that's starting to grow predictable in its old age.” – Slant Magazine Jul 10, 2011 Full Review Louie: Season 2 (2011) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “The second season of FX's Louie is an example of the kind of fine entertainment you can get when you give a talented artist like Louis C.K. a chunk of money and free reign to make whatever he wants.” – Slant Magazine Jun 23, 2011 Full Review The Paul Reiser Show: Season 1 (2011) 5% 1.5/4 EDIT “Like Curb Your Enthusiasm for the Family Channel, The Paul Reiser Show never really succeeds at being anything other than a fitfully amusing imitation.” – Slant Magazine Apr 14, 2011 Full Review Archer: Season 2 (2011) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Archer is sleekly animated, has a cool retro design, and writing that manages to be both smart and bawdy all at once, but most of all, it has a fantastic voice cast.” – Slant Magazine Jan 27, 2011 Full Review Perfect Couples: Season 1 (2010) 18% 1.5/4 EDIT “An aimless mass that's utterly devoid of flavor, filled with such broadly drawn characters that you start to forget who they are while they're still on the screen.” – Slant Magazine Jan 20, 2011 Full Review Shameless: Season 1 (2011) 72% 1.5/4 EDIT “Shameless tries too hard to milk weighty drama from generally dull characters.” – Slant Magazine Jan 9, 2011 Full Review No Ordinary Family: Season 1 (2010) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “No Ordinary Family manages to take an oversaturated genre and mold it into a flawed but ultimately fun piece of family-friendly fluff.” – Slant Magazine Sep 28, 2010 Full Review $..! My Dad Says: Season 1 (2010) 0% 0/4 EDIT “$#*! My Dad Says is a dismal show, harboring the worst qualities of every lame, four-camera, laugh-tracked sitcom on television.” – Slant Magazine Sep 23, 2010 Full Review Ugly Americans: Season 1 (2010) 67% 2/4 EDIT “Ugly Americans's interesting setting is just sort of there for the sake of being weird.” – Slant Magazine Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Caprica: Season 1 (2010) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Caprica manages to take on some daring themes with that familiar dedication to character and plot.” – Slant Magazine Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Chuck: Season 3 (2010) 88% 3/4 EDIT “Unashamedly goofy, there's no lack of blistering action and thinly veiled nerdy allusions to make this season enjoyable for its dedicated fan base.” – Slant Magazine Jan 10, 2010 Full Review V: Season 1 (2009) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “The terrorism angle boasts some of the update's most enticing intrigue.” – Slant Magazine Nov 3, 2009 Full Review FlashForward: Season 1 (2009) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “If FlashForward can keep the momentum it set in its premiere episode, the show's apocalyptic tone and fate-bending intrigue should prove deeply fascinating.” – Slant Magazine Sep 24, 2009 Full Review NCIS: Los Angeles: Season 1 (2009) 70% 1/4 EDIT “The show has all the subtlety of a freight train.” – Slant Magazine Sep 22, 2009 Full Review Community: Season 1 (2009) 91% 2.5/4 EDIT “Community has a boldness to it that sets it apart from traditional network sitcoms.” – Slant Magazine Sep 17, 2009 Full Review Warehouse 13: Season 1 (2009) 62% 3/4 EDIT “The inventiveness of the gadgetry and the wild sense of humor that sneaks into the show give it the potential to develop into an adventure that's both funny and exciting.” – Slant Magazine Jul 7, 2009 Full Review The Adventures of Merlin: Season 1 (2008) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “Even with its quirky charm, though, the show's formula begins to wear thin.” – Slant Magazine Sep 28, 2008 Full Review
