Two years ago, I labeled Fall 2010 as the worst batch of new shows ever. The highlights were “Law & Order: Los Angeles,” which was hardly a new concept; “No Ordinary Family,” which was throwaway fun; and “The Walking Dead,” which […]
First episode impressions (TV review): “AHS” goes to 1964 as it switches to an anthology format for its second season.
