I’ve never read the Dostoevsky novel to which Teddy Rist (James Purefoy) referred in this week’s episode, but if “The Double” is as dense as “Crime and Punishment” (been there), or “The Brothers Karamazov” (done that), it’ll have to wait.

I’m looking right at you, friend. Dark Blue is our Leverage; we’re the counter-culture here at CliqueClack, and we must rage against the machine. Is it perfect? No, of course not.

You’ve got to love Lafayette. I do have to admit I’m […]

Back-to-back ho-hum episodes for Rescue Me. I call these last couple the calm before the storm. Only five chapters remain in what has been, in my opinion, the best season since number two.
