80The special effects have wacky charm--not surprising for a series based on graphic novels. Yet the dialogue is even more special. Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of the novels and the series, gives his characters witty, distinctive things to say.
-
Middleman skillfully incorporates real-life details into its fantastic scenarios. Its characters aren't just Manichaean warriors; they also live the kinds of lives that people read comic books to escape from.
-
60The creatures are essentially designed as bowling pins for our protagonists to knock over with a well-placed shot and a quip, and Keeslar and Morales' interaction is nothing if not playful and lively. But you're left not really knowing if you want to come return and spend a whole lot more time with this quarrelsome twosome.

WillM.10It's the weekly highlight of television for my entire family. Finally a show I'm more than content to watch with my children.

KenA.10Awesome show, which gets progressively better over the first season. Don't dismiss it based on the slightly clunky pilot.
