You could predict the ending of Too Old for Fairy Tales 2 based entirely on reading the premise. If you’ve ever seen a movie, you...

It might just be me, but I didn’t think Netflix’s so-so Polish coming-of-age movie Too Old For Fairy Tales really needed a sequel. You can’t...

You could tell that Eric was going to be good. Why else would so many serious actors be attracted to a small-scale Netflix project? What...

Throughout The Sympathizer, we’ve always known that The Captain would end up back in Vietnam, being interrogated by the people he has spent the entire...

Episode 4 of Dark Matter is emblematic of everything I really don’t like about this show. There’s so much potential here, and “The Corridor” shows...

If Episode 6 of The Sympathizer has a point, it’s that being a spy is a lot of work. The logistics are a nightmare. Once...

There are several levels on which The Atypical Family doesn’t work. It’s an oddly structured and paced show that sometimes seems to be making things...

Families are trouble at the best of time, but the Boks are a nightmare. The Atypical Family is weirdly titled, really, since superpowers notwithstanding, they’re...

The obvious question to ask about the ending of a series like The 8 Show, which is based around a bizarre reality TV competition that...

Whenever I write about a K-Drama, I typically avoid played-out comparisons to Squid Game, which seems to be the only Korean show Western critics have...

Outer Range has one of the best elevator pitches in the business. What if Yellowstone, but it’s a bit like Lost? Genius! And while Season...

Dark Matter was better when it was bonkers. I think that’s fair to say after Episode 3, “The Box”, which settles down to a glacial pace...

These days, the word “multiverse” is pretty inexorably tied to Marvel, since we’re all simpletons. But Dark Matter on Apple TV+ hopes to fix that...

The Captain’s adventures in moviemaking in Episode 4 of The Sympathizer were, in a word, unsuccessful. But the deviation into outright parody was a somewhat...

I imagine when The Captain left Vietnam, he didn’t imagine he’d find himself on a movie set. And yet that’s where he ends up in...

It’s no secret that Robert Downey Jr. has been a key selling point of The Sympathizer, and for those who tuned in specifically for his...

You can’t solve a mystery twice, which is the primary obstacle standing in the way of Bodkin Season 2. The first season’s ending seemed to tie up...

If nobody knew quite what to make of The Atypical Family throughout its first three episodes, I imagine Episode 4 is where undecided viewers will...
