We’ve seen a lot of shows like Shafted, especially on platforms like Netflix. The French comedy series is a knockabout exploration of masculinity, especially the...

Given how much I didn’t like The Agency when it started, it’s kind of remarkable how good the first season’s ending is. Season 1, Episode...

After an excellently mysterious premiere reintroduced viewers to the world of Severance in its much-anticipated Season 2, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig” does the same thing from the opposite angle.

I said in my recap of the premiere that Disney+’s K-Drama Unmasked is unusually forward about sex and violence, and if nothing else Episodes 3 and 4 prove me right.

It isn’t as easy as it looks to make something generic, especially on a streaming platform. A lot of hacks take shelter in genre, believing...

Given the immense popularity of The Night Agent, it was virtually inevitable that its ending wouldn’t really be an ending. Just like how the first...

With the end in sight, The Night Agent Season 2 pulls no punches in Episode 9. There’s at least one major death here, several hair-raising set-pieces, an out-of-nowhere turnaround in the Iranian subplot, and some genuine emotional catharsis to seal the deal.

There it is – that end of season feeling. It took a while, but Episode 8 is where The Night Agent Season 2 really kicks into gear, delivering significant character turns and major twists to build the stakes ahead of the final two episodes.

There’s quite a bit going on in Episode 7 of The Night Agent Season 2. “Tilt” is, I think, the densest chapter so far, the one most full of key developments and crucial turning points in virtually every ongoing subplot.

What makes a good agent? Given that’s the title of Episode 6 of The Night Agent Season 2, it’s a worthwhile question to ask, since it also forms the thematic basis of another hour that takes things pretty slowly and then explodes into action towards the end.

By the standards of most episodes of The Night Agent, “A Family Matter” is pretty tame for most of its runtime. But don’t be fooled....

Episode 4 is easily the best installment of The Night Agent Season 2 thus far. As we approach the midpoint and have a clearer sense...

Episode 3 of The Night Agent Season 2 feels like a table-setting installment, an hour dedicated to putting all the right pieces in position and...

While some of the complexity, mystery, and even urgency of The Night Agent’s first season was a little absent in its Season 2 premiere, Episode...

Things have changed in The Night Agent Season 2, but they’re still fundamentally the same. That’s the implication of Episode 1, anyway. By the end...

NBC’s The Hunting Party has one of the more compelling concepts in recent memory. It’s about a top-secret subterranean prison built below a nuclear missile silo housing the deadliest serial killers humanity has ever produced, many of whom are supposed to be dead.

High Potential has always had a comedic streak, but Episode 10, “Chutes and Murders”, takes it too far. I’m not sure why.

Apple TV+ tends to debut the first two episodes of their new shows at once, which is good news for Prime Target, since Episode 2, “Syracuse”, is where it gets going.

If Good Will Hunting had a child with Enemy of the State, it might look a bit like Apple TV+’s Prime Target. But maybe that’s overselling things.

Apple TV+’s Prime Target is a show about maths, and a bit of history, and a lot of international espionage and conspiracism, but on a...
