There aren’t enough gimmicks to bring this show back from the slow downward spiral it’s been on since a few episodes back.

Review: Girls – “Weirdos Need Girlfriends Too”– Can Marnie Be Spontaneous and is Adam Stupid, Weird or both?

This week, the series explores if the romantic ideal holds any weight, not only for Hannah (Lena Dunham) but for Marnie (Allison Williams) and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) too.

Have your cake and eat it too… Review: The Borgias “Truth and Lies”
What I loved about “Truth and Lies” were Cesare’s sinister demeanor and the fear in Juan’s eyes. The Pope seems a bit put off by Juan’s recent behavior and, for a brief moment, I hoped the Pope would push the blade into Juan’s throat but instead he just felt sorry for his son. Admittedly, without Juan, there’d be no antagonism in Cesare’s storyline. With only two episodes left, I hope the animosity between Cesare and Juan comes to a head.

Hot and Cold Feelings Abound. Review: Nurse Jackie – “Chaud & Froid”
As season four begins to wind down, there are major changes underfoot at All Saints. “Chaud & Froid,” the French term for hot and cold, not only deals with the water Jackie (Edie Falco) and Dr. Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) use to revive Charlie (Jake Cannavale) from his drug overdose, but with some vacillating feelings between Jackie and Zoey (Merritt Wever), and Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) and Coop (Peter Facinelli). This very interesting installment perfectly sets up what’s to come in the remaining two episodes of this amazing season.

Dr. Cruz (Bobby Cannavale) has an anxiety attack and Gloria (Anna Deavere Smith) revisits her past with a former All Saints employee. “Day of the Iguana” is one of Nurse Jackie’s better episodes this season. It has a wonderful mix of laughter and sadness and I enjoyed every minute of it.
