30 Rock: A One-Time Special (TV) (2020)
Publish Date: July 16, 2020
"'30 Rock's Reunion Special was an advertisement for its own obsolescence (...) [It] felt like an artifact of a less earnest time"

Slate
Run This City (TV Series) (2020)
Publish Date: April 5, 2020
"Told at a breakneck pace, the show makes its way through the scandal while constantly asking viewers to adjust their perception of Correia"

Slate
Russian Doll (TV Series) (2019)
Publish Date: January 30, 2019
"'Russian Doll' has a complete and satisfying ending (...) [It] knows there’s power in recurrence"

Slate
Surviving R. Kelly (TV Miniseries) (2019)
Publish Date: January 6, 2019
"An extremely effective piece of entertainment journalism (...) The series is comprehensively damning and powerfully disturbing"

Slate
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018)
Publish Date: December 27, 2018
"It's tech we're supposed to be able to boss around that bosses us around instead. In that way, it's a perfect Netflix show."

Slate
Citizen Rose (TV Miniseries) (2018)
Publish Date: January 29, 2018
"The show is meant as inspiration, as corrective, as empowerment, as a cri de coeur, as proof of struggle, as proof of survival, as validation, and as a PR strategy, and it is pretty successful at all of those things at once."

Slate
The Leftovers (TV Series) (2014)
Publish Date: April 13, 2017
"[3rd Season Review]: Swaggering and strange, unhinged and unpredictable (...) The canvas of 'The Leftovers' has expanded further still"

Slate
Flaked (TV Series) (2016)
Publish Date: March 10, 2016
"It is not as original, lacerating, or self-aware as 'Louie and Girls', the progenitors of this trend, or as good as 'Transparent', the perfector of it, but it contains a deep and precise character sketch."

Slate
Broad City (TV Series) (2014)
Publish Date: January 21, 2014
"'Broad City' is a near relative of 'Girls'. But 'Broad City' has a more pronounced DIY vibe, a more surreal, sloppy and affectionate nature"

Slate
Eddie Murphy Delirious (TV) (1983)
Publish Date: September 7, 2011
"Murphy is wholly magnetic. He seems like he’s having the best time, and is so in control of everything that’s happening onstage that it’s all effortless"

Vulture
The Good Wife (TV Series) (2009)
Publish Date:
'"The Good Wife', a delectable, invigorating series of unprecedented depth and cynicism, is the best drama on TV."

Slate
The Honourable Woman (TV Miniseries) (2014)
Publish Date:
"'The Honorable Woman' is in many ways, most of them cerebral, an extremely impressive piece of work."
