1 | Togetherness | HBO | Togetherness “[Mark Duplass] plays Brett, a sound engineer and family man who has hit a wall in both his career and marriage. His wife, Michelle (played by Melanie Lynskey), feels imprisoned as a stay-at-home mom. Adding to the ferment is her sister Tina (Amanda Peet), a wayward hottie who lands in their Los Angeles home after splitting from Houston. Rounding out this domestic quartet is Mark’s best friend, Alex (Steve Zissis), an out-of-work actor seeking refuge on the couple’s couch. ” – Elena Shepard in Salon ![]() |
3 | Better Call Saul | AMC | 3 Better Call Saul “Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White’s lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer.” – amc AMC |
4 | Hindsight | VH1 | 4 Hindsight on VH1 “Hindsight, which premiered last week on VH1, isn’t exactly a time travel story, even though it centers around a woman who does, in fact, start the pilot in 2015 and wake up in 1995. It’s more of a “what if I could do it all over again?” story, about the choices we make and if we’d actually do better with the benefit of maturity, experience, and (…wait for it) hindsight. Becca (Laura Ramsey from She’s the Man, some of Channing Tatum’s earliest, and finest, comedic work) is supposed to rise and shine on the day of her second wedding, to a secure, handsome childhood friend. But everything else about her life has not quite worked out as she hoped: she’s a glorified assistant for a tyrannical boss, she’s been estranged from her closest girlfriend for years, she is unfulfilled, disappointed, and lost. And then she passes out in an elevator and wakes up to the sweet, sweet sounds of Ace of Base. “I Saw the Sign” is blasting out of her alarm clock and, wouldn’t you know it, she’s 20 years in the past and is about to marry her first husband and embark on a marriage she already knows will self-destruct.” – thinkprogress |
5 | Marvel’s Agent Carter | ABC | 5 Marvel’s Agent Carter on ABC ” Judging by its first two episodes, this is what Agent Carter is going to be: retro-cool pulp thrills in fabulous outfits. Think The Rocketeer or Raiders Of The Lost Ark, but with a dame instead of a dude.” – Noel Murray on the AV Club website |
