I wasn’t remotely familiar with the new wave band Devo before sitting down to watch Chris Smith’s Netflix documentary about the Akron, Ohio collective’s ‘80s...

As far as subject-approved, rather curtained docuseries go, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is closer to something like WWE: Unreal than anything else....

Consent is never a simple subject, and it’s the rare show that can do it justice without dipping into uncomfortable territory.

“Out of the frying pan and into the fire” comes to mind when watching Episode 7 of The Institute.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, or so the saying goes, but the principle applies to K-Drama protagonists in a lot of ways. Beyond the Bar Episode 5 is built on it.

I'll level with you, readers -- I wasn't expecting half of what happens in The Winning Try Episode 7.

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.

The first part of Miss Governor — previously titled She the People, which has been annoyingly changed without explanation — ended on a rather promising note, with Antoinette,...

The first major round in the Twisted Metal tournament isn't especially interesting, which, it turns out, is by design.

Killing off major characters is often seen as a pretty cheap way of farming audience engagement.

Dogs have always been a movie-making cheat code, the easiest shortcut to making an audience laugh or cry – or both! – as necessary. The...

I get that it’d be a stretch to say the Xenomorphs are the good guys in Alien: Earth, but it’s a possibility we should probably consider. The upside of relocating this franchise to terra firma is that it provides a much broader sample buffet of extraterrestrial entrées.
