Discussing Film, Music, TV, Books, Video Games and More
Day three of the Best Of lists is upon us, bringing about our thoughts on the best and worst of what TV brought us this past year.

Adam’s feelings start to get the best of him though and their deal begins to crumble under the new expectations.
