"'Tell Me You Love Me' is not only more provocative than any of the broadcast networks' new fall shows, but also more sophisticated--even than those shows that aspire to be 'adult'"   

"'Elementary' exhibits enough stylish wit in its mood and look to quickly distinguish itself from the latest British 'Sherlock' series"  

"I've seen the first four and, although each was more compelling than the last, the series contains a repellent amount of hipitude, which distracts from its tale"  

"A pretentious and stiffly acted trifle about a suicidal slacker"  

"Nothing in 'Anger Management' is all bad, but not much of it is better than half-good"  

"Snail-paced and difficult to relate to, 'Parade’s End' feels twice as long as its total running time. And yet it’s an exquisite and thoughtful sort of slog, with sound British pedigree and bone structure"  

"'Vikings' delivers all the expected gore and blood spatter"  

"The movie builds a moderate, if less than monumental, level of spookiness (...). It’s a workmanlike piece of suspense (...) Rating: ** (out of four)"  

"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"
