The Killing is a serious drama series but it’s infused with some comedic aspects. I laughed while watching Jamie trying to lift Richmond from his bed. I knew it wouldn’t end up good and of course, it doesn’t. But there’s something about the way the scene plays out that catches my attention.

The concept of a TV show about four girlfriends (one of them a writer) navigating through life, work and dating in NYC has a definite Sex and the City ring to it but in the new HBO series Girls, this is as far as the parallels go. Girls isn’t the escapist glamorized portrayal of life in New York; it’s a refreshing and genuine take on a generation in flux: twenty-somethings who are striving to find their place and meaning in the world while not being ready to be cut off from the parental umbilical cord.

Isn’t it funny how some people seem to get selective amnesia after a wine soaked tryst? It seems our dear Pope (Jeremy Irons) finds it difficult to remember whether he or his lovely mistress Giulia Farnase (Lotte Verbeek) invited the lovely Vittoria (Jemma West) to their holy bed chambers. The Pope thinks perhaps it was a dream, “We had a dream…that, uh, we were a trinity upon this bed last night.” Men – forever incorrigible it seems.

I love The Big C! It rings true to life because life isn’t always the white picket fence surrounding pristine flower gardens in the front yard. Paul blogs family secrets away, Cathy is getting drunk and arm wrestling, and Adam joins a bible group. Meanwhile, Sean and Andrea bond as he teaches her how to wrap an African head scarf.

“Disneyland Sucks” is both the title of this week’s episode and what Jackie (Edie Falco) say to Dr. O’Hara (Eve Best) and Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) on a stolen cell phone. After five days of restless and erratic sleep, Jackie finally lifts her head off her pillow only to see a strange woman poking her toe with a fork. The Jackie we know would have lambasted the woman, who happens to be her roommate, but this subdued Jackie merely goes back to sleep to wake another day. I want my feisty Nurse Jackie back!

HBO has two new comedies premiering this month: Girls and Veep. In what I presume is an effort to gain more subscribers (and who can blame them), the pay channel is offering all viewers a chance to watch the season premieres of both shows for free on a number of platforms.

Marley Corbett (Kate Hudson) is young, beautiful, and wildly funny, but she’s afraid of opening herself up to true love and commitment. Though she uses her humor to prevent matters from getting serious, a life-changing visit to her doctor (Gael Garcia Bernal) sends both of them on an eye-opening adventure of mutual discovery, leading to revelations neither thought possible.

Take This Waltz – When Margot (Michelle Williams), 28, meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), their chemistry is intense and immediate. But Margot suppresses her sudden attraction; she is happily married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a cookbook writer. When she learns that Daniel lives across the street from them, the certainty about her domestic life shatters.

I’m not exactly sure what “Normal” is supposed to be about, but it doesn’t matter because I love every minute of it. The dialogue is witty, ridiculous and what I’ve been missing about New Girl.

It’s a chaotic night as paramedics and fire trucks surround the scene outside of Boyd’s (Walton Goggins) bar where Duffy (Jere Burns) blew up the car Quarles (Neal McDonough) was driving. There are many moments of exciting tension throughout “Slaughterhouse,” but something is missing. And we finally get to see Limehouse’s “piggy bank.”

Showing what a true friend she is, Max offers Caroline $100 from their cupcake fund (in addition to $500 of the clinical drug money) to hire Caroline’s father’s attorney Leo Hutchinson (Josh Pais) to depose her. Amusing is watching Max’s fascination with Law & Order and trying to impress everyone with her knowledge of court proceedings: “Anything I can do to help? I’m pretty courtroom savvy. I mean, I haven’t seen every episode of ‘Law & Order.’ Just, like 400 of them.”

Ah, we see Kenzi has a soft spot! She reads trashy romance novels in secret. She’s a huge sucker for love stories, which is why she begrudgingly accepts Dyson’s plea for help after he tells her he loves Bo. What a softie! There’s no way she can say no to that. Maybe Det. Hale (K.C. Collins) will be her honey next season?

Movie star Rebecca Duvall (Uma Thurman) signs on for “Bombshell” but is a no show at rehearsals. Julia (Debra Messing) suffers the fallout of her affair with Michael (Will Chase). Karen (Katharine McPhee) is asked to be Rebecca’s understudy, and problems arise between John (Neal Bledsoe) and Tom (Christian Borle). What an entertaining episode “Understudy” turns out to be!

I tell you, each time it seems we get closer to pinning down a firm suspect, three more are thrown into the mix. I don’t know who to suspect, what to believe, or how to figure out the truth. At this point, I’m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Beautiful, imaginative, and suggestive paintings sweep across the screen to Trevor Morris’ hauntingly melodic main theme making my heart flutter with delight. Tensions continue to strain the brotherly bond between Juan and Cesare; meanwhile is the Pope growing weary of his mistress, Giulia Farnase?

Finally, Jackie (Edie Falco) accepts responsibility for all the crap in her life! In the season three finale of this wonderful dark comedy, Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) tossed Jackie’s (Edie Falco) urine sample in the trash, and Jackie told Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) to pack his things after he confesses to an affair. “Kettle Kettle Black Black” deals with the aftermath of those occurrences and introduces us to a new and welcome addition to the cast. Grace (Ruby Jerins) is stealing, while Jackie seeks to drown her sorrows in booze and drugs. In addition, All Saints is being taken over by Quantum Bay, a big conglomerate, and there are a lot of changes in the wind.

“Thin Ice” is funny, sarcastic, endearing, and a bit sorrowful. If this episode is any indication of what the season will bring, grab your Depends and defibrillators; it’s going to be one hell of a ride! And surprise! My theory – “wild hair variety” – about Paul’s (Oliver Platt) death was right!
