I caught it, and thought it was pretty good, but I'm no expert.
Here's the pointer:

The review is so awful that it pushed me to watch it. I can't figure out why my right wing friends think the NY Times is "lib'rul." The Arts section seems to me particularly prejudiced. When it sneers at a production I use it as a cue to see it.
It seems to me the purpose of these sneering reviews is to dissuade people like me, who don't know much about the subject but might be interested, not to read the book or watch the show. The NY Times reviewers piss me off. I hope they don't get paid much.
