If I worked at A&E and a pitch for a TV show came across my desk that proposed this modern-day prequel to ‘Psycho,’ I would have laughed and thrown it in the trash. Thankfully, I don’t work at A&E.

This week’s episode saw Don falling quickly into his old habits (drinking and ignoring responsibilities) but also saw him make a change right at the end. It also challenged old ideas with the future and put generations against each other.

This week on ‘Mad Men’: Megan kicks Don out, Don goes back to work, and Betty loses her lunch.

This week’s episode was titled ‘A Day’s Work,’ but very little work was actually done. It focused on Valentine’s Day and questioned how long Don can stay in this state of limbo and lies.

‘Mad Men’ is one of the best written and acted series on television, so it comes as no surprise that the beginning of the seventh season was well-crafted. It provided important moments for Don, Joan, and Peggy and began to set the stage for what’s to come in this final chapter.

Love it or hate it, ‘Girls’ has a distinctive voice — one of the most raw and honest on TV.

This half of the season has been a nice shift in the show and has provided for some interesting character development and moments, but the finale didn’t really pay off.

This week’s ‘Walking Dead’ was all about setting up the finale, which airs next Sunday night. We caught up with most of the characters and one group finally made it to the much talked about Terminus.

After some rather tame episodes (at least in comparison), ‘The Walking Dead’ provided some surprises and shocks this week as we caught up with Carol and company.

This week’s episode of ‘The Walking Dead’ is all about the fear of being alone, which makes sense because it’s titled…’Alone.’

This week’s ‘Walking Dead’ begins with a silly quest for booze, but ended up being one of the strongest episodes of the season.

This week’s episode finished setting the stage for the rest of the season. We now have a clearer direction and new and interesting plot points, including a scientist with a mullet who claims he can save the world.

This solid (if unremarkable) mid-season premiere offers few shocks but some nice character development.

Emma Thompson is Oscar-worthy as ‘Mary Poppins’ writer P.L. Travers, but the rest of this sweet, safe film is lacking substance.

SCANDAL-OUS SPOILERS AHEAD… If you’ve found yourself wearing a lot of white hats, or drinking wine from giant glasses while eating popcorn, or shouting into your cell phone “it’s handle,” you might be addicted to ABC’s Scandal. Don’t worry, though — you aren’t alone. In fact, the series is popping up everywhere these days, including […]

Stephen Mills breaks down the fourth and finest season of the HBO drama.

Stephen Mills explores this action-adventure comedy, which subverted audience and critic expectations, avoiding the obvious Brad Pitt-Julia Roberts romance in favor of a more unusual plot.
