"Powerfully disturbing and deeply erotic."  

"'Accused' Is guilty of ambitious storytelling (...) 'Accused' asks to be judged on its emotional impact, which more often than not is considerable."  

"[Karen] can be brash and funny, also stealthy and sly, and her search for answers in this well-plotted whodunit leads to one of the most dramatic climaxes I’ve seen since Broadchurch. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of 10)"  

"A mystery lover’s delight, Magpie Murders is a whodunit wrapped in a whodunit, an homage to the genre’s most revered classics that adds clever twists of its own"  

"[11th Season Review]: Creatively speaking, there's nothing worse than watching a longtime favorite wear out its welcome"  

"For anyone who remembers crying along with the Salingers (...) I got a tearjerker for you. The creators of the original Party of Five have reimagined their series, updating it sensitively and with brave timelines"

"'Hairspray Live!' was a snappy, happy, candy-colored and newly relevant delight."  

"A Fugitive chase and revenge thriller gets underway, playing out over 10 efficiently exciting if unremarkable episodes."  

"There's little doubt that everyone on set is having a blast. And with jokes flying by so fast, you may find yourself laughing more often than you think you should."  

"Any points the 10-episode 'The Art of More' scores for its novel setting (...) are tarnished by the dramatic fraud the show perpetrates with its paper-thin characters."

"[5th Season Review]: [The] sometimes-erratic thrill ride is back in top form in its fifth season."

"'Ferrell Takes the Field' (...) turns out to be more than a stunt-though it's a quite impressive one."  

"Everything about this show is more of a mis-fire."

"Aidan Turner cuts a dashing figure as the reincarnation of Poldark, reviving an early Masterpiece breakthrough from the mid-70s with swarthy, romantic vigor."

"[3rd Season Review]: Its third macabre season magnifies every succulent image and sound to its creepiest potential."

"This Masada is a hotbed of passion, with plenty of lovemaking amid the threat of war, and you may wonder why Sam Neill doesn't urge them to can the soap opera and cut to the chase."

"Handsomely produced, diversely cast, and fresh in its approach, 'A.D.' deserves to be called inspired."

"This isn't an easy movie to watch, but even at its most bleak, the scenes between the long-estranged mother and daughter are beyond poignant."  

"A delightful series version of its 'Librarian' TV-movie franchise, mixing elements of 'Indiana Jones', 'The DaVinci Code' and even 'Warehouse 13'."  

"An instant delight that is sure to be a favorite perennial for years to come."
