“If Comcast SportsNet New England’s “Villains’’ series is little more than late-summer filler, it should be praised as entertaining and extremely well-produced filler. The vintage comic-book look is eye-popping and original, and the first “villain’’ profiled as an athlete Boston fans love to hate - Kobe Bryant – was a fitting one.”
“Should the NBA lockout abbreviate the season or even lead to its cancellation, CSNNE, the longtime home of Celtics broadcasts, will have some programming gaps to fill. The “Villains’’ series is an encouraging sign that it will be up to the challenge.”
