First Impressions: Salem Rogers (Prime Video)

Salem Rogers is one of the worst pilots Amazon’s produced to date.

The Flash is here – and unsurprisingly, it’s the best new drama of the fall.

Stalker

CBS’s latest drama is shlocky, misogynistic, and woefully formulaic, an early contender for worst new show of the fall.

How to Get Away with Murder is ridiculous, over-the-top, and full of legal nonsense… so why did I like it?

black-ish

I don’t know how I feel about black-ish; here’s why.

Robert Rodriguez’s network-launching adaptation is kind of intriguing, but also kind of pointless.

Although it’s still finding its voice, Enlisted is a promising, optimistic addition to FOX’s comedy line-up.

Almost Human’s premise seems tailor-made for an intriguing new series; unfortunately, Fox’s latest dystopian sci-fi drama is a big misfire.

The Michael J. Fox Show could be the next great NBC sitcom – if it can figure out what kind of show it wants to be.

ABC’s James Caan-led baseball series is an odd choice for a single-camera sitcom.
