Max, for his part, serves as the duo's moral compass -- not much of a claim, considering he's entangled in an after-hours affair with a burnt-out legal-aid lawyer (NYPD Blue alumna Sharon Lawrence) and isn't above covering up the accidental killing of a drug dealer if reporting it might endanger the final stretch run of his not-so-illustrious career. The writing, at times, seems unsure which thematic priority it's intended to serve; the funny bits, in particular, fall flat more often than they generate chuckles. The presence of a few peripheral characters whose agenda is solely comedic (including a couple of [Carlos]'s minions, who bear an off-putting resemblance to Trailer Park Boys' resident underachievers, Corey and Trevor) proves to be more of a distraction than a benefit. Tonight's...

Although [Da Vinci] is famous as a creative genius, his other work receives little attention today. Nevertheless, during his lifetime he worked as a military consultant designing fortifications and various war machines. That other famous artist of the Renaissance, Michelangelo, created many fine sculptures and paintings but also worked in architecture, and less than a 100 years later, Peter Paul Rubens, famous for his "Rubenesque" nudes, began his second career as a diplomat. While most contemporary artists will tolerate their diminished role and just try to get on with their work, I believe there are deeper problems within our society that suggest we ignore our creative people at our peril. It came as no surprise to me that a recent Conference Board study ranked Canada very low in the ...
