TV Review: Fifth Season of ‘Justified’ Launches with Dark Edge
Submitted by BrianTT on January 7, 2014 - 11:38amWhat a great time to be a TV junkie. NBC’s “Community” is back in prime form with the return of Dan Harmon.

Submitted by BrianTT on March 16, 2010 - 11:21amCHICAGO – In the hundreds of shows that I’ve reviewed in my decade covering television, I’ve rarely been as instantly blown away as I was by the premiere of “Justified,” a riveting, perfectly paced, expertly acted piece of drama that simply must be seen. The next two episodes are a slight step down but that doesn’t change the fact that this is the best new drama of 2009-2010.
