John Grisham’s novel The Rainmaker has always been popular as an indictment of the legal system at every level, and it’s probably telling that it...

I’ve said this before, here and on various social media platforms, but it’s worth repeating — The Winning Try is much more than a sports drama. You...

I’m as surprised as you are, but Season 2 of Fatal Seduction is pretty good. It’s certainly a major improvement over the first season, even if that’s...

Hey, credit where it’s due. Fatal Seduction Season 2 isn’t just a significant improvement over its predecessor, but it also has a proper ending, which,...

The first season of Fatal Seduction, which was unashamedly an almost shot-for-shot remake of Netflix’s Mexican telenovela Dark Desire, had its fans. I don’t know...

Part of the fun of any Dexter show is wondering how he’s going to keep getting away with it, but even by franchise standards, Episode 7 of Dexter:...

You can tell that the ending of Smoke is going to be one of those that defines how people feel about the show overall. It might retroactively...

In another relatively subdued chapter, Chief of War continues to skillfully set the stage for enormous conflicts to come.

Prime Video’s espionage thriller Butterfly, based on the BOOM! Studios graphic novel series created by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, is a family affair as much...

I get that Platonic is largely a show about college friends slowly realizing they’re not in college anymore, but by Season 2, you’d think it would have...

Jim Jefferies occupies a great place in comedy these days. Having made his name as a — all together now — “controversial” comic back when...

First appearances can be deceiving. What Butterfly looks like, on the surface, is a pretty generic espionage thriller, not meaningfully different in Prime Video’s oeuvre...
