Treme is like Cajun food--it's spicy, it's weird and it's good, but it takes a while to appreciate.

It looks like AMC is three-for-three with their newest original drama, Rubicon, a throwback espionage thriller that takes place in the present--if the present were more like the 1970s than the 2000s.

It's every bit as good as "The Sopranos" was in its prime.

Unlike a few characters in seasons one and two whose lives I just wasn't interested in, I won't be skipping any therapy sessions this season. They are all fascinating.

The Lebowitz film, Public Speaking, directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by Graydon Carter--combines hilarious, contemporary interviews with Lebowitz about life in NYC, mixed with old clips of her in the Andy Warhol days, and great clips of her appearances on old talk shows.

The instant chemistry among the three judges was so right, they couldn't have created it in a lab. Everything that made us fall in love with Idol in the first place was back.

It's all as addictive as an uber-fresh, ice-cold slice of watermelon on one of the hills of Rome in the scorching heat.

The miniseries--starring Greg Kinnear as JFK, Barry Pepper as Bobby, Katie Holmes as Jacqueline and Tom Wilkinson as Joseph Sr.--is without a doubt one of the best, most riveting, historically accurate dramas about a time and place in American history that has ever been done for TV.

Will Big Love go out with a big bang? If the final season's opener is any indication, the answer is a big "yes."

A bleak, slow-moving, humorless show that is still so good that you will be angry every time an episode ends.

If you're not a big fan of Gaga, or even if you think she's Madonna lite, this HBO concert film will make you a true believer--or a believer, at any rate.

The series seamlessly moves between the horrors of war and the gentility of life in the show's titular 100-room manor.

Not only is it really well thought out, but the good-looking kids in the show can actually act.

Sounds boring, but it's anything but.

The Game is worth it. Really.

Each week, the series takes on a Holmes classic, updates it, turns it on its ear and leaves you breathless.

You'll be happy to know that at least as far as the first two episodes go (90 -minute season premiere this Sunday night), the show is better than ever--which would have seemed impossible.

The producers of Work of Art have managed to take something that is never a big draw (excuse the unintentional cheesy pun), art, and have made it into something so enlightening and, yes, exciting that it's positively magical.

Showtime's edgy, edge-of-your-seat series, is, bar none, the best thriller on American TV.

This engagingly uncomfortable series is not like anything you've seen before.

An intriguing, well-done documentary.

It is so crisp and clean and the clarity is so great that you will definitely forget that what you are watching is real.

It's the possibility of unlimited complications looming that make it so insanely riveting.

With an impossibly good cast, writing so spot-on it's poetic, and slow-build stories, I, for one, was left wanting more--even after watching the entire season.

Frozen Planet [is] perhaps the single greatest accomplishment in nature TV history.

They've added a new element that makes it something I can finally (I'm sorry) sink my teeth into. They've added politics as blood sport.

By episode three, things are roiling up and rolling around.

A hilarious new sitcom about a female vice president of the United States, Selina Meyer, played with insanely good timing by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
