The Washington Post

"Spun clumsily and greedily off 'Grey's Anatomy', the new series seems shallow and smirky"  

"'Firefly' does some pretty fancy flitting now and then, but for the most part it's a trip that's been taken too many times before"

"The show vacillates between hokey and clever as it mines the Brothers Grimm for contemporary analogues"  

"Thanks to its ensemble the new 'Dallas' gains some traction and kicks up a little dust"  

"'Teen Wolf' bounds so wildly between its main plot points that I began to wonder if my press copy of the show had skipped some scenes or if they'd been assembled out of order"   

"Though handsomely assembled from the spare parts of a dozen other evil-twin stories that came before it, 'Ringer' quickly downgrades itself to a fairly ho-hum night soap"   

"'Bates Motel' turns out to be a worthy reimagining of the Norman Bates story"  

"Whatever it is, it's fascinating, the television equivalent of the book you can't put down and maybe the jigsaw puzzle you never quite complete"  

"'The Event' is an intentional mess, daring you to go wherever it thinks it's going. Within the first five minutes, potential viewers will have to make their own personal choice: Am I up for this?"  

"It’s mainly an intelligent crime drama (...). As slow as it seems to go at first, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you’re addicted"  

'You'd need a magnifying glass to find a nuance. But it works, and grippingly'  

"The series has all the ingredients associated with quality television: strong scripts, relevant themes and a cast that qualifies as first-rate-plus"

"Brilliant, exasperating, enthralling"  

"The lovingly and imaginatively produced pilot has to be the most gorgeous piece of television airing anywhere tonight"  

"Without feeling like it's leading us on, 'Rubicon' is a tightly woven and urbanely acted tale for people who like to mull"  

"It's a handsome study in perfect mediocrity"  

''NBC's lavish and splashy new version of 'Bionic Woman', is not, as one might fear, a 'BW' stripped of everything that fans loved about the '70s original"  

"'666 Park Avenue' will have a little of what 'American Horror Story' is having, obviously, even if its frights aren't nearly as jumpy"   

"'Community' stands on its own intangible excellence"   

"Overdoing things is one of Murphy's trademark flaws, but this show has a captivating style and giddy gross-outs"
