As the penultimate episode of the season, “Last Rites” is a capable hour of The Strain that picks up considerably in its last moments, setting up some potentially fun drama for next week’s finale.

Fall is here and with it the beginning of a new school year. For many comic book readers, that means college classes with esteemed professors.

The Strain might just be the most frustrating television show currently airing. With such an impressive creative team behind it and a seemingly capable cast, it has no business being this mediocre (and at times truly, painfully awful), yet it is.

“The Garveys at Their Best” should be a frustrating hour of The Leftovers because it delays the highly anticipated continuation of last week’s episode, but it is a surprisingly captivating installment of the drama that sheds light on some of the characters’ (mostly Kevin, Laurie and Nora) lives pre-Disappearance. Once again the series employs a […]
