It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...

What would Christmas be without bland festive fare? Netflix is kicking off the 2025 holiday season with the usual dross, following the usual formula, which...

When a show like Murder in a Small Town has an episode like “This, That, and the Other Thing” in its locker, it can sometimes make you wonder why it’s so content to be mediocre most of the time.

Having spent over a decade as an entertainment critic, one of the things I have realised is that I have deeply unsophisticated taste. Ordinarily, a...

Eddie Murphy is a legend, there’s no doubt about that. His contributions to entertainment through landmark stand-up comedy specials and mainstream movies undeniably changed the...

There was simply no way that Loot Season 3 wasn't going to experience some kind of decline in the absence of Nicholas.

I'm often claiming that episodes pick up where the previous one left off, but it's rarely ever as literal as it is in Down Cemetery Road.

Most shows require a bit of detective work when they return after some time away, but it took me longer than usual to reacclimatise to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale.

The Morning Show has had its fair share of villains, but Season 4 has sorely lacked in this regard.

If nothing else, at least DMV seems to be listening to me. I've been crying out for the sitcom to give Colette something -- anything -- different to do, and in Episode 5, "Stick Shift", it just about manages it.

I’ll be the first person to admit that Watson doesn’t need Sherlock Holmes. It works better without him, actually.

The vitriolic criticism of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair has been more predictable than warranted.

What I liked about Talamasca: The Secret Order initially is that, despite being set in a world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural ephemera, it presented itself as a pretty straight-up espionage thriller.

It’s a rare show – and, in case it wasn’t obvious, The Chair Company is a very rare show – that doesn’t seem any closer to meaningfully explaining what it’s about by the time it’s halfway through.

I was fully prepared to declare the “controversy” around Prime Video’s Bat-Fam utterly ridiculous, and a complete overreaction by so-called fans with nothing better to...

The best joke in I Love LA is that the funniest character isn’t any of the Gen Z influencer caricatures that Rachel Sennott has clearly created the show to mock.

I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.

There’s a very specific tension to Netflix’s four-part docuseries Marines, and it’s the promise – not a suggestion, the outright guarantee – of war. Nobody’s...

Sometimes it takes failure to show you what success really looks like.

Billy the Kid is alive. I feel I should point this out since technically, Billy is supposed to be dead. Pat Garrett shot him twice,...
