The problem with David Berkowitz, aka the “.44 Caliber Killer” and, eventually, “The Son of Sam”, is that in a true crime streaming context, he...

Bucking the trend of video game adaptations being woeful, Peacock’s Twisted Metal was a good time. This is especially surprising considering it was based on...

When the first of Netflix’s batch of Trainwreck documentaries debuted on June 10, 2025, it began an eight-week trend of the short films infiltrating the most-watched movies...

Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 is essentially the final boss of Netflix’s uber-successful voyeuristic documentary series. It builds on several of the themes touched on by previous...

I’m resigned to the idea of The Institute being a slow burn. It’s a mystery box on two fronts, drip-feeding minor clues and reveals without being in any hurry to get where it’s going.

I’m a simple man who enjoys simple pleasures, and as such, a movie like Osiris should be right up my street. William Kaufman’s indie sci-fi...

It's only Episode 2, and yet The Winning Try is already delivering finale-quality drama, with all the big emotional swings and payoffs you'd expect after a full season of development.

The Winning Try is one of those from-the-ashes sports dramas that ensnares you immediately.

When you really boil it down, the ending of Trigger, like the show itself, is a conflict over two competing ideologies. This theme is made...

Trigger has a fascinating and provocative dystopian premise, which imagines Korea awash with free, easily accessible firearms. The only man fighting against the tide is Lee...

In many ways, A Normal Woman has exactly the ending you’d expect it to have, albeit spiced up with a touch of ambiguity. And this,...

If it’s a random Thursday — or, indeed, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or any other day of the week — it’s probably time for a new...

Letters from the Past has a pretty predictable ending, but it is, in my view, the right one. This kind of coda, which essentially comes...

You’ll have to forgive me, because I can’t quite articulate what makes Letters from the Past a bit less effective than it would like to...

When Santi’s dad turned up in the penultimate episode, I think everyone knew that Stick was venturing into predictable territory just in time for its ending. And...

Blimey, James Seadown is awful, isn't he? This won't be news to long-time viewers of The Buccaneers, but now we're over halfway through Season 2, he has indisputably emerged as the real villain of the piece.

Nobody would argue that the ending of Red Eye makes a great deal of sense. You can trace the plot particulars, obviously, but it requires...
