This Patriots-Texans game has so many turnovers it should be sponsored by Pillsbury.

With apologies, but this language -- "EMILY IN PARIS affords epistemological priority to Emily" -- sounds like someone's parody of an N+1 piece.

I agree re Morck. I'm hoping they evolve him away from that cliche, which it seems like they will.

I'm forgetting what happens in individual episodes, but the show gets better as the other characters develop, specifically Rose, Akram, and DCI James.

It grew on me with each episode.
