First Impressions: Terra Nova (FOX)

FOX’s expensive, high-profile dinosaur series is the weakest, most impotent new series of the fall.

Boardwalk Empire returns with a strong season premiere.

Free Agents might be onto something, if it can realize its promise as a rom-com dramedy.

2 Broke Girls is a tired rehashing of many jokes and concepts from other, better series.

New GIrl’s pilot is a too much quirk and not enough comedy.

Boardwalk Empire is another stellar HBO period drama, although its violence and cynicism is a bit thinner than hoped.

Treme ascends to greatness in its moving, wandering second season.

Treme’s rich, textured atmosphere and cast of characters makes for one of TV’s most beautiful and politically prescient new series.

Breaking Bad’s third season isn’t quite as well-paced as season two, but it remains one of the great character studies on TV.

Breaking Bad finds its voice, and purpose, in a terrific second season.
