Playing Footsie with a Blow Torch? Ouch! Review: Justified “Foot Chase”

If puns were a dime a dozen, “Foot Chase” would have nearly a dollar or so by the end of it. The humor infused into this episode is not overstated and is placed just so, as to not take away from the point. “Foot Chase” impresses with its sarcastic humor, unapologetic brutality, and entertains with a pinch of “sweet underage love” to make things weirder.

It’s a veritable smorgasbord for Bo, and she delights in it. Not so for Lauren, who tries her best not to show her insecurity, but Bo has the wherewithal to be guarded about her lust.

Doing What Needs to Be Done. Retrospective: The Americans – “The Clock”

I am invested in The Americans despite knowing how the Cold War turns out in real life. To say that after only two episodes is huge, but the acting, directing, cinematography, and choreography are all spot on. So you tell me, what’s not to like? Add in Emmy® winner Margo Martindale who enters the picture next week as Claudia, the Jennings’ handler. To say I am excited is putting it mildly.
