American Crime’s second episode is a step up from its pilot episode.
Category: TV Reviews
First Impressions: American Crime (ABC)
ABC’s John Ridley-led miniseries has an unbecoming sense of self-importance its pilot can never quite shake.
First Impressions: Secrets and Lies (ABC)
ABC’s soapy new drama has a few intriguing elements, but they’re obfuscated by the overabundance of tropes and cliches.
First Impressions: The Last Man on Earth (Fox)
The Last Man on Earth is a smart, funny premiere that finds real depth in its simple, but high-concept premise.
First Impressions: The Odd Couple (CBS)
The Odd Couple is a bad adaptation, and an unfunny, reductive waste of Matthew Perry’s talent.
First Impressions: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)
Fresh Off the Boat’s uneven first episodes show real promise, even if its take on the American Dream is a bit unrefined.
First Impressions: Backstrom (Fox)
Backstrom is another failed pile of white male angst cliches.
First Impressions: Cocked (Prime Video)
Prime Video’s gun manufacturer melodrama is an unfortunate misfire.
First Impressions: Salem Rogers (Prime Video)
Salem Rogers is one of the worst pilots Amazon’s produced to date.
