Black is the New Orange: Episode 3...The Return...Again



Welp, after a brief disappearance, I'm officially back in the restaurant game. Fuck me, right? This time around, the game has definitely changed, and much like mainstream hip-hop, not for the better. I have come in contact with a few new characters this time around, and with this long awaited third installment of Black is the New Orange, I'm gonna introduce their stankin' asses to you...all of my fans...all three of you (hi mom).

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Bouncing Back


At the beginning of the year I wrote a post about how disappointed I was with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Today, I am here to officially eat crow.  I wanted them to step their game up, and they have.

Netflix Review: Lilyhammer


So, over Christmas break (yes, CHRISTMAS break...not doing the PC holiday switch) every TV show and their mama was on hiatus. Since the wife doesn't watch college bowl games, and I don't watch parades, there was literally nothing for us to watch together. I figured it was a good time to scroll through my trusty Netflix account to find a new television series to watch.

Before I go any further, no, sheep, I did not start on Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, or Walking Dead. I wanted something fresh and off the beaten path. So after scrolling through my phone for 6-7 grueling minutes, I stumbled across the Netflix original series Lilyhammer.

Arrested Development: Season 4 Critique


Since 2006, I feverishly awaited the return of Arrested Development.  When the creators of the show announced that they would be turning the television show with a huge cult following into a movie, but not before releasing another full season of episodes to catch us all up on the Bluths, I was more than thrilled, I was (insert one word synonym for "more than thrilled" here).

It's release date has come and gone, and a two day binge of 15 brand new episodes later, and I almost feel like I was "catfished" (insert Manti Teo joke here).  Don't get me wrong, most of the humor was there, but this wasn't the same show that displayed to me what real television writing was all about.  It was unrecognizable at points, and I'm not just Portia di Rossi's appearance.

For me, the new season was just "meh."  Metaphorically speaking, it was like meeting up with a good friend you haven't seen in 7 years, and realizing in that time away you grew far apart.  Of course, there are certain moments that take you back to the fun you had in the past, but there are even more instances that tell you that the chemistry is gone and you probably can't be friends anymore.

Now, for those reading this and calling me a hater at the same time, please believe that Arrested Development will always have a place in my heart as one of my favorite television shows, but its return was lack luster, and here's the main reasons why.
