Thursdays are rough, man. Way too much on TV and barely enough time to fit it all in, never mind have time to write about it all at once. I liked the post I did yesterday using this same format, so I thought I’d give it another shot and — who knows? — make it […]

Mercy is far from a perfect show, but I am enjoying it so far. Michelle Trachtenberg plays naivete probably better than anyone on the planet.  Jaime Lee Kirchner’s character still needs a bit more rounding out, but I like Sonia’s style.
