    Milioti was on Seth Meyers the other week, and absolutely charming. She's so great in pretty much everything - She's someone that needs a project built around her, like Kathryn Hahn has finally been getting.

    She's such a great talent. Can equally play sweet and likeable and edgy and off-putting.

    it was truly crap but the funky Petty cover soundtrack made it worth it

    Slow Horses might be the best thing on TV.

    What I marveled at was the camera work and the editing. There is very little CGI; it’s just editing and tension when it comes to the most dramatic scenes.

    Gary Oldman is marvelous. The shootouts are spectacular. I could use Ho not being so over the top, but they blend the characters magnificently.

    This is a legit franchise that might grow into something like The Wire or The Sopranos because of its excellence. You can tell with that last scene that they are laying the groundwork for it.

    “Shrinking” has been my favorite new show of the last couple of years. The first two episodes of the new season haven’t changed that. I find it to be outstanding.

    Absolutely. Just caught the first ep of Season 2 last night, and it's as sharp as ever. Plus, well, Krista Miller.

    She's got a juicy role. The writing and casting overall are great. I've always been a huge fan of Harrison Ford, and this is an ideal part for him.

    The actress whole plays the daughter is a standout, too, as is Jessica Williams.

    Glad to see Ted McGinley is part of the title credits now.

    More D-Man please.

    I’m intrigued by Brett Goldstein’s role this season. Many layers to that onion for Jimmy.

    My favorite part of the season so far has to be Brian’s rant while hiking.

    Oh, man. McGinley had the line of last season: "Eat a dick, Pam!"

    Preceded by, “Oh, thank God.”

    He’s approaching Roger Sterling-levels of scene-stealing lines.
