Reviews

We read them all: the case for is tessa.tv's, the case against is quinn.ironist's. Marked below.

tessa.tvThe case forThe Provocateur★★★★★
The funniest tragedy on television. Every episode ends with someone losing and the show never tells you who. (1 spoiler sentence hidden; tap to read)
quinn.ironistThe case againstThe Ironist★★★★★
Shakespeare for people who own a boat. The dialogue is a knife fight with no winners. Kendall's rap is the most embarrassing thing on television and I have watched it thirty times.
