Hi Alan,

What other TV critics do you suggest we read? I also read Mo Ryan and Andy Greenwald. Should I be reading others?

Hi Alan, longtime reader! You stated earlier in the fall TV season you were going to change up how you covered things through the end of the year. You weren't sure how it was going to go and was going to revisit it after getting used to it to see if you preferred the new way of doing things. I'm curious - how are you feeling about it? Do you intend to go back to the old way, stay how you are, or perhaps tweak the model further? It's been an interesting adjustment for me as a longtime reader and I'm wondering your feelings on it and what to expect moving forward.

I did like this compromise, but speaking as a reader, I would much prefer a "quick hit" version to deal with the episodic nature of shows, and then a wrapup season review that is more comprehensive. I find that's the biggest thing lacking in this day and age that has been severely missing from streaming shows – season reviews. All the season "preview" reviews are great, but they are admittedly limited by the reviewer who has a limited scope of episodes to look at. As people figure out how to cover episodes (if they even do at all – I think your Master of None compromise is a step in the right direction) one thing that falls by the wayside is the recap review. To me, that's the biggest missing piece.

If you could choose one actor/actress to put on a current TV show who isn't on it currently, who and what would it be?
