Let's just get this out of the way -- there's far too much going on in "The Doctor's Graveyard".

There’s a thing about jump scares where they almost never work because savvy viewers have come to expect them.

There are openings, and then there are openings. It: Welcome to Derry has an italicised version.

It was, I think, pretty inevitable that The Asset wasn’t going to have a happy ending. It’s just that kind of show. Like I’ve said already, undercover...

Folke's awful, isn't he? Here we were, thinking that Tea had done a pretty good job of sending Ashley back into Miran's clutches with a bit of tasteful reassurance, but that's not good enough for Folke, who is adamant that Ashley needs to stay with Miran at all costs.

You know how it goes -- one minute you're making new friends and doing deals, the next someone is getting shot to death right in front of you.

The morning after the night before is never easy. If you're a recovering drug addict who just had a few bumps of Class A narcotics, and if your friendship with your new bestie is liable to get her killed by her dangerous mobster boyfriend, the morning after is a whole new nightmare.

As someone who watches a lot of film and TV, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of undercover work. What I’m primarily interested in...

There’s a longstanding joke about how easily men make friends, but The Asset holds that the same is true for women. As it turns out, if your...

Who’s the best person to go undercover in a drug-smuggling syndicate? According to Episode 1 of Netflix’s The Asset, it’s a traumatized woman with no experience...

There’s a peculiar predicament that Typhoon Family finds itself in, I think as a consequence of being backdropped by a very real financial crisis.

Talamasca: The Secret Order kind of relies on Guy Anatole being smart, which is a bit of a problem, since Episode 2 reveals him to be a total idiot.

The smartest decision that Talamasca: The Secret Order makes is presenting itself as a straight-up spy thriller.

One of the more intriguing parts of the legend of Billy the Kid -- part of the reason, I suspect, why stories about his life have always been so popular -- is that his death has a conspiratorial quality to it.

Now we’re talking. I did say that Tulsa King felt as if it was finding some first-season form, and that’s very much the takeaway from...

You know Mayor of Kingstown is good, since its Season 4 premiere is riveting despite being, for most of its runtime, about one character bursting into the office of another character and having a passive-aggressive argument.

It’s hard not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston Blue. They’re pretty different shows on the face of it, sure, but are they really?

My biggest question about Boston Blue is when things are going to start going wrong.

I know what you’re thinking – does the dog die? Let me save you the suspense. No, he doesn’t. Indy makes it out of Good...

It has long been said that animals, especially dogs, are a cinematic cheat code. You can have a fairly run-of-the-mill story to tell, but stick...
