The Great Flood starts out as a very compelling disaster movie, but it almost becomes a disaster of a movie on the back of its...

A lot has been made of Ashur’s suitability as the protagonist of a Spartacus spin-off, but as of Episode 4 of Spartacus: House of Ashur, I’m starting to...

The more you think about Pluribus, the better it gets. This isn’t true of very many shows these days, since a lot of shows –...

If you were expecting the 10 Dance competition to feature in the ending of the movie 10 Dance, well… more fool you. Do I really...

I will concede that I’m not in the target audience for 10 Dance, a Netflix film from Keishi Otomo, adapting the BL (boys’ love) manga...

Netflix’s Murder in Monaco is, in terms of its overall construction, a totally unremarkable documentary. But it’s telling a pretty remarkable story, which in the...

Back in the Wasteland, heading to New Vegas, and it feels like there’s a lot on the line for Fallout Season 2.

For the first time in Palm Royale Season 2, the pacing begins to flag in Episode 6. Don’t get me wrong, “Maxine Finds Herself” – a double entendre title that’ll become clear – has its fair share of upsides, including a lot of slapstick-y physical comedy and a great drunk performance from Kristen Wiig.

One of the pleasures of the Now You See Me movies is the final trick, an elaborate show-stopper set-piece that highlights how everything was all...

Magic requires a suspension of disbelief. You have to surrender yourself to the illusion. You know you’re being conned, but that’s the point, and if...

I’m pleased to report – albeit behind schedule – that Wake Up Dead Man, the third in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out mysteries, is probably the...

Wake Up Dead Man is the first Knives Out Mystery to realise that Daniel Craig’s eccentric detective Benoit Blanc is the least interesting thing about...

Every time Sherlock Holmes has shown up in Watson Season 2, it has heralded bad news.

I Love LA ventures more into overt sitcom territory in Episode 7, “Divas Down”, but what initially seems like a shallower episode is really just another step on the journey of Maia’s self-defeating psychopathy.

There are two constants in Stephen King’s work: Fear and evil. Both are eternal. The very idea of Pennywise – or “The Entity”, or simply...

I’d like to be wrong about this, but Pro Bono strikes me as the kind of weekend K-Drama that is perfectly fine and serviceable, but one that, for some hard-to-articulate reason, never really resonates with people.

Can you call yourself a proper outlaw if you lose a sword fight to Sean Bean? It’s worth thinking about. The guy dies in everything he’s in.

I’m beginning to really enjoy the rhythm of Landman Season 2. This is perhaps because it hasn’t always had a discernible one.

You could feel it coming, couldn't you? All throughout Mayor of Kingstown Season 4, that feeling of impending calamity has been building, and building, and here in Episode 8, "Belleville", it arrives.

I do love a subplot that feels very specific, and Sheriff Country has had its share of those already. But it has a really good one in Episode 8, appropriately titled “Death & Taxes”, which really enjoyably leans into the show’s very specific vibe and sense of place.
