You’d be forgiven if you had forgotten there was still a Michelin star subplot in The Bear Season 5, especially after recent seasons suggested all...

The Bear has always been subtle when it comes to romance, and with each passing season, new relationships have felt increasingly unlikely. That is largely...

I often dislike ambiguous endings, but I believe what The Bear Season 5 did with Carmy’s storyline was both clever and wholesome. Episode 8 closes...

Admittedly, I was ready to rip into The Bear at the start of Season 5, but Episode 7 flipped my opinion on the final chapter...

When you think about it, Not Suitable for Work is kind of a weird show. Thus far, Season 1 has been defined by consistently good writing and...

It’s amazing how much a show can benefit from being well written, which sounds like a very obvious point to make until you realise that...

While the cast of Alice and Steve has hinted at hopes for a second season, audience response following the cliffhanger has been deeply polarizing, casting...

While Alice and Steve doesn’t seem like the kind of show that would necessarily need a second season, the ending of Season 1 makes a...

While Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement both top the billing of Alice and Steve, an unconventional “wrong-com” about long-time besties finding their friendship torn apart...

You can tell that Daredevil: Born Again is reaching a fever pitch in Season 2, since “Requiem” feels in many ways like an effort to...

If you were a bit dismayed about the relative lack of action in the previous instalment of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, Episode 6, “Night of the Hunted”, has you more than covered. It's almost like it’s making amends, which is weird since the lower-key drama was solid and necessary, but the impressive lightsaber action that bookends the episode is difficult to argue with, especially now we’re so much more invested in the characters.

Based on the title alone, it isn’t difficult to guess what Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is about. But one of the more surprising revelations of the Disney+ series has been that Maul, as great as Sam Witwer’s take on the character might be, is probably the least interesting thing about it.
