Last week, we were introduced to the... well, colourful staff at Pawnee, Indiana’s parks and recreation department.

I wonder if my mind works exactly one episode faster than TV shows. Much of the time, I finally get sick of something, and the next week, they do something about it.

Satan is rising, the end is nigh… Being Human S5E5 – Dork Review
The penultimate Being Human ever, and stakes are high. Admittedly, not quite as high as it seemed they might be at the climax of last week's episode, but still, shit is on the verge of going down. Hal is struggling with bloodlust, Rook is losing his tenuous grasp on morality and the devil is … [Read more...]

If you were paying attention, you might’ve detected me growing weary with The Walking Dead during last week’s episode.
