Big Sky needs (and maybe now has) a bigger boat
TV ReviewsAll of our TV reviews in one convenient place.
Maybe it was the arrival of yet another Titan of the Character Actor Universe, Karin Konoval, that tipped the scales. Maybe it was the inevitable answer to the question of whether Ronald and Mom were Norman and Mrs. Bates pre- or post-mummification. Maybe it was the terrifying/sweet/nah-mostly-terrifying home invasion defense enthusiast, the term “mothertrucker,” and the unseen but definitely present giant American flag waving in the front yard. But in all likelihood, it was the second time that miraculously recovered Trooper Rick Legarski, now with the apparent “I.Q. of meat,” quoted

A selective critical checklist of notable Tuesday TV:
Prodigal Son (9/8c, Fox): In the wildest episode yet this season, Malcolm (Tom Payne) is drawn back to Claremont Psychiatric and his maniac father Martin (Michael Sheen) after an inmate’s murder. “C’mon, it’ll be fun!” exults Martin as he begs to be part of the crime-solving team. “Why can’t I be a peer?” he whines, while Malcolm works out his severe daddy issues in group therapy. Back on the Whitly home front, mother Jessica (Bellamy Young) is growing increasingly suspicious of her offspring’s involvement in the disappearance of the villainous Nicholas Endicott (Dermot Mulroney), and Malcolm’s sister Ainsley (Halston Sage) is beginning to have alarming flashbacks to that night. As Martin is the first to note, “Apples don’t fall that far from the tree.”
Trucker and abductor Ronald shares a bizarre relationship with mother. It's so odd that many viewers believe she isn't actually alive and has been dead.
