I've been loving Season 2 of HBO's energetic sports dramedy Winning Time. A slam dunk of '80s basketball nostalgia, the second season centers on the historic rivalry between Magic Johnson's Lakers and Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics, with the two future Hall of Famers set to square off in the 1984 NBA Finals. A strong cast (John C. Reilly, Quincy...

The pair truly shine as the lead stars of Crazy Stupid Love, one of the best romantic comedies to come out in recent decades.

The first episode centered on the new kid in town, future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, while...

HBO's new docuseries Telemarketers feels one-part workplace comedy and one-part "totally freaking f-ed up" as it exposes the dubious nature of a now-defunct New Jersey call center. Before FTC shut the operation down in 2009, the Civic Development Group misled folks into donating money to local police and fire departments by lying about donating...

I’ve got to tell you, Veep is one heck of a TV show that’s earned all the acclaim it gets. The humor is sharp as a tack, the dialogue is quick-witted, and the performances, especially Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the lead, are absolutely brilliant. It’s like getting a hilarious VIP pass to the backstage chaos of politics, where you’ll see power...
