Justified 6.01: Season Premiere “Fate’s Right Hand”

By Regina Thorne

January 21, 2015

Previously on Justified: Art got shot (noooooo!) and Raylan promised (yet again) to be there for Winona and their daughter and promised with somewhat more vigor to help the Marshals’ Service and ASA Rodriguez take down Boyd Crowder. Meanwhile, Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen) told Boyd Crowder that his true superpower was robbing banks, Ava Crowder…

Six Reasons to Watch The Americans

By Regina Thorne

January 20, 2015

The premise of The Americans, which is set in the early 1980s, is that Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, a suburban Virginia couple who seem as American as apple pie and the Fourth of July, are actually a pair of ruthless KGB sleeper agents whose marriage was arranged by spymasters in the Kremlin. The show returns…

Wrapping Up Justified’s Season 5: Can Raylan Kill His Own Shadow?

By Regina Thorne

April 14, 2014

When they first announced that Justified would end after Season 6, I was prepared to be heartbroken at the news, but after the recently ended and quite lackluster season 5, I think it’s a good decision. In fact, I wonder it might not have been better if Graham Yost had decided to end “Justified” in…

The Walking Dead’s Season 4: Rick Grimes as Aeneas, Or Just When I Think I’m Out…

By Regina Thorne

April 5, 2014

The Walking Dead manages to be both the most frustrating and occasionally most compelling show I watch on TV. First of all, I’m always at the edge of my seat wondering whether a given episode is going to be a snoozefest (I love you Daryl, but that episode with Beth was something that required severe…

Justified Slumps When It Strays from Harlan County

By Regina Thorne

March 12, 2014

Et tu, Justified? Last fall, I decided to quit watching The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy because I was bored with the repetitive storylines and frustrated with the direction both of the storylines were taking. And now I’m worried that one of my favorite shows is doing the same thing. Now, admittedly, I’m willing…

Justified 5.06: “Kill the Messenger” Settles for Consexual Bloodletting

By Regina Thorne

February 17, 2014

After last week’s bullet-filled extravaganza, the latest episode of Justified, “Kill the Messenger” didn’t feature a single dead body (though there was a good bit of blood flowing, even if some of it was claimed to be “consexual.”) Various subplots came together, as the Crowes were integrated into the Crowder fold and Raylan’s girlfriend had…

Justified 5.05: “Shot All to Hell” is Truth in Advertising

By Regina Thorne

February 8, 2014

I knew the title of last night’s episode, but I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so literal. I lost count of the bodies by the second or third commercial, but I think they included… Note: Read on if you're spoiler-proofed!

Justified Episode 5.04: “Over the Mountain”? I’m Over the Moon!

By Regina Thorne

January 29, 2014

While I was less than thrilled about last week’s “Good Intentions”, this week’s episode had me over the moon. (Or perhaps “Over the Mountain.”) We’re getting to the point on the show where various plot threads start to come together into the tight, waterproof weave that I know. And now I’ll abandon that straining metaphor…

Justified Episode 5.03: “Good Intentions” Fall Short

By Regina Thorne

January 23, 2014

Aaaah, Justified, I saw your “Good Intentions” last night … but they just weren’t quite enough to make me love this episode. There were some things I loved, (like the idea of Rachel and Raylan as roomies, which could have gone on longer, as far as I was concerned) and I’m always happy to see…

Justified Episode 5.02: “The Kids Aren’t All Right”

By Regina Thorne

January 16, 2014

There was so much great stuff that I’m not even sure where to begin. So let me start with the titular kids, one of whom is Loretta McCready (Kaitlyn Dever), one of the pivotal figures from the brilliant second season of the show. Note: we're dishing here—you know there will be spoilers! And now that's…
