EDIT “"KaBlam!" wasn't a straightforward animated series, but rather short films featuring different animation techniques. It was both weird and strangely hypnotic.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: Season 4 (1997) 100% EDIT “"Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" was a different kind of show for Nickelodeon, but a very good one. The show was a big hit for kids, even though its brand of comedy was more appropriate for adults.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 19, 2019 Full Review The Wild Thornberrys: Season 5 (2003) EDIT “As educative as it was fun to watch.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 29, 2019 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 7, Episode 1 (2016) EDIT “After six years, we've come to love the living characters on The Walking Dead in the same way we have those in a show like Friday Night Lights or Lost. But getting attached is what makes major moments like Sunday's deaths pay off in such a big way.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 24, 2016 Full Review Outcast: Season 1 (2016) 80% EDIT “Outcast has a human quality that makes it all the more intriguing. It's also proof that scaring the living crap out of people on cable television isn't going out of style.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Fear the Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 3 (2016) EDIT “For fans that have felt Fear the Walking Dead has yet to fully hit its stride (Admittedly, I'm one of them), this is easily the best episode of the season. The crossover with Flight 462, no matter where it goes, is a nice touch.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 25, 2016 Full Review Fear the Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 1 (2016) EDIT “Overall, the Season 2 premiere was decent, but it lacked the punch we've come to expect from an AMC series.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Apr 11, 2016 Full Review Fuller House: Season 1 (2016) 36% EDIT “Netflix played it smart in terms of this reboot. It didn't fiddle with its most appealing factor - nostalgia.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 24, 2016 Full Review Supergirl: Season 1 (2015) 92% EDIT “There's a comedic vibe to the show that makes it very much at home on the CBS network. However, Supergirl was also developed by the same team behind The CW's solid shows... giving Supergirl a vibe comic book fans can dig.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 26, 2015 Full Review Marvel's Daredevil: Season 1 (2015) 99% EDIT “Charlie Cox is great in the title role and he's surrounded by the appropriate supporting cast.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 20, 2015 Full Review American Horror Story: Season 5 (2015) 64% EDIT “It was, quite frankly, one of the sexiest, most uncomfortable, over-the-top and exhilarating moments on television in 2015. And at the center of it was one of the biggest pop stars in the world.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 8, 2015 Full Review Fear the Walking Dead: Season 1, Episode 6 (2015) EDIT “Throughout its first season, Fear the Walking Dead went to great lengths to establish the framework for a society coming to an end. During Sunday night's season finale, all that hard work paid off.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Oct 5, 2015 Full Review Fear the Walking Dead: Season 1, Episode 2 (2015) EDIT “Say what you will about the pacing or lack of action on Fear the Walking Dead. But the show certainly has its gripping moments.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Aug 31, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 4, Episode 15 (2014) EDIT “The more important thing is the dark cloud hovering over Joe and the cutthroat group Daryl has joined up with. Those dudes are creepy.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 21, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 4, Episode 14 (2014) EDIT “It is one of the most powerful and depressing moments in Walking Dead history.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 21, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 4, Episode 13 (2014) EDIT “The real drama of "Alone" lies in where these characters will choose to end up.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 14, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 4, Episode 12 (2014) EDIT “The scene where Daryl breaks into tears is some of the best acting the show has seen yet. Not much happens during "Still" except a more intimate connection with these two characters. I'll take it.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 14, 2015 Full Review EDIT “Season 2 of the HBO series has been dragging. But all that changed last night with an epic shootout that left dozens of people dead and the show's three main protagonists baffled as to what comes next.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 13, 2015 Full Review EDIT “Vaughn is becoming more believable as a mobster. McAdams and Farrell are carrying the series, but Kitsch's storyline is intriguing.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jul 6, 2015 Full Review EDIT “The brilliant first season of HBO's True Detective began with a murder scene. The show's second season ends with one. But it's how the characters get to that point that sets the tone for potentially compelling things to come.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Jun 22, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 16 (2015) EDIT “If you were expecting an episode that culminated in a shocking death, you may have been disappointed. If you were looking for suspenseful, thrilling action that should set up an epic Season 6, you are in luck.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Mar 30, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 15 (2015) EDIT “Things were already starting to fall apart within the Alexandria Safe-Zone. But Sunday night's Episode 15 of The Walking Dead, titled "Try," saw that downward spiral reach new lows.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Mar 23, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 14 (2015) EDIT “Episode 14, titled "Spend," featured a lot of dirty deeds and death.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Mar 16, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 11 (2015) EDIT “When it comes to Season 5 of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes is no longer messing around.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 23, 2015 Full Review The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 10 (2015) EDIT “It was to be expected that The Walking Dead would slow things down a bit after last week's dramatic midseason premiere. Yet, Episode 10, titled "Them," wasn't without its fair share of drama, surprises and crazy dogs.” – Cleveland Plain Dealer Feb 17, 2015 Full Review
