Is it sacrilegious to sympathize with the devil? Is it legitimate to humanize Lucifer under the pretense that he has “retired” from running hell and is now slumming with the humans as a nightclub owner in Los Angeles? Most transgressive of all, is it acceptable to present the scheming Fallen Angel as a seeker of justice and champion of personal responsibility? That’s exactly what Fox is doing with its new show Lucifer, Mondays at 9/8c.

Fargo's second season pulls off the rare feat of matching its excellent first run, despite an all-new cast, and the Blu-ray release exceeds expectations.

Most importantly, THE X-FILES 2016 has seen the reestablishment of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson’s Mulder and Scully as one of the most iconic pairs in TV history. Other than the rather joyless opening ep, which was perhaps inevitably heavy on exposition and table setting, this has been an immensely satisfying season with a wider emotional range than we have seen before from the stars and their characters. That emotional range has been built upon a potentially very sensitive matter: their respective mid-life crises.

As much as 'Girls' changes, most of the girls stay the same.

'Sleepy Hollow' raises funds to aid wounded military.

'Togetherness' is a quirky indie dramedy delightfully stretched out into a series with a wonderful cast.

'Horace and Pete' stretches the definition of 'television show' and extends Louis C.K.'s art even further.

Talk to the organ-grinder.

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' remains in good form, with a bonus for those who have stuck by it all these years.

'Family Guy - Season Thirteen' is another batch of mildly amusing episodes from a consistent series at an inexpensive price.
