Other critics like James Poniewozik and Alyssa Rosenberg do the latter, and do a great job at it. As a television critic do you see your job and your criticism as being self-contained to the shows that you watch and write about, or do you also tryВ to look at them through a more cultural prism and as social commentary too? With a Mad Men or a Wire, the greatness of the series, and of most episodes, is virtually a given, so what youвЂ™re looking for there is to find deeper meaning, whether itвЂ™s the symbolism on Mad Men or the connections between all the characters on The Wire.ДЈ. With some shows, itвЂ™s much more of a thumbs-up/thumbs-down paradigm, where I look at whether an episode worked, or didnвЂ™t, and why. Slate called you the вЂњking of the form.вЂќВ WhatвЂ™s the art toВ writing something like that? Right place, right time.Дў.В Your weekly recaps of shows are, for myself included, must-reads after watching a show like Mad Men or Silicon Valley.

A month after graduating college, I was basically a full-time TV critic, and have been doing it ever since, first at the Ledger, now at HitFix. The combination of my 34th Street clips and printouts of some of my online pieces (which were pretty novel for 1996) helped get me a summer internship in The Star-Ledger features department, and when the paperвЂ™s veteran TV critic couldnвЂ™t go to the Television Critics Association press tour that summer, my editor, Susan Olds, decided to take a gamble and send me. At the same time, I was part of the first Penn class of non-engineers to be given an email account and easy internet access, which I took advantage of to begin writing about my favorite show at the time, NYPD Blue, on Usenet, and then for my own ( now very tacky-looking) website. I went to college at the University of Pennsylvania and began writing for the Daily PennsylvanianвЂ™s weekly arts magazine 34th Street.
