Fill your void of summer with 'Family Tree'

So, it’s summer out there in US. For TV shows’ aficionados, this is not a great time because this means most of our favorite series are having summer hiatus period. Then what should we do ‘til they’re coming back? Sorry, wrong question. I mean, what should we WATCH ‘till they’re coming back?

I checked on the list of summer TV shows back on May – when my favorite shows were hitting season finale one by one --, but at the time only a few shows had premiered. And among that short list, only one won my attention ‘cause it seemed promising: an HBO’s new mockumentary comedy, ‘Family Tree’.

I’ve been watching all the four first episodes since then (season 1 contains 8 episodes until July 7), and I think I’ve seen enough to write a review about this show.

Five most underrated sitcom to check on


Who doesn't love sitcom? Well, I can't speak for anyone, but I think I can safely say that anyone loves to laugh. Or at least, love to be entertained.

I always thought that watching a comedy is the most effective way to entertain myself. It can calm your nerves and it's a chance to laugh at someone else but yourself -- especially, when you've had a hard time with your boss and became a laughing stock at your office.

While waiting for a laughable movie could take times -- you might have lost your sanity before then -- and not to mention money -- if you were to watch it on cinema, watching a sitcom on TV actually is the best and the easiest way to get some laugh. And you can get it at home, on your own couch, and on weekly basis.

Then, what sitcom in particular that could make you laugh your ass off?

What to regret on the new season of 'Arrested Development'

Two weeks has passed since Netflix released the long overdue new season of cult’s favorite sitcom ‘Arrested Development’ – you can see the piece I wrote about the revival in my previous post – and here I am, ready to give you piece of my mind about the Bluth’s reunion.

It’s really breaking my heart to write this review though. It really is. I expected so much from this new season, ultimately, because I have a deep affection towards this show and feeling so invested in each of the characters.

So, when I saw the first episode of season 4, I really wanted to love it and when it didn’t meet my expectation, I keep telling my self  ‘oh, it’s just the beginning, it’d get better’ or ‘I don’t understand why’d he do that. Oh, maybe I’ll get the explanations on the next episode’, and so the denial keeps going on until season finale had arrived, from which I couldn’t came up with any excuses for this lovable series anymore.
