The premiere of Sweetpea, “Sorry for Your Loss”, has a pretty simple mandate – justify why Rhiannon Lewis would stab a man to death for...

The Penguin is excellent in a way that doesn’t make much sense, and Episode 3, “Bliss”, exemplifies this in several interesting ways. It’s a Batman...

Freed from the clunky expositional approach of its premiere, Teacup feels like it’s coming together in Episode 2, “My Little Lighthouse”. The predicament feels more...

A name seems to carry more weight in the horror genre than anywhere else. You see Jordan Peele or James Wan or Ryan Murphy –...

Disclaimer has a point to prove in Episode 2, and in so doing it makes me look a little foolish for assuming in the premiere...

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I do think I’ve sussed Alfonso Cuaron’s Disclaimer out. As of Episode 1, it’s a handsomely...

When you go on the run, you only take the essentials, and that’s the feeling that hangs over The Old Man as we enter the...

I have been relatively positive about Agatha All Along since the beginning, but Episode 5, “Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power”, feels like the moment...

I’ve pointed out the potential of Brilliant Minds already, but I feel especially validated by Season 1, Episode 3, “The Lost Biker”. This, I think,...

Just like the field trip earlier in the season, the aptly-titled “Convention” gets the teachers out of the classroom. But even though Evan thinks that...

Love Next Door comes to a close with Episode 15 and Episode 16, and lo and behold, the K-Drama has a perfectly happy, upbeat ending....

I confess to having thought that Tulsa King Season 2 would start to intensify a little in Episode 4, but everyone’s wrong from time to time. “Heroes...

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is improving, so that’s something. Season 2 is still wildly imperfect, but I didn’t spend Episode 2, “Moulin Rouge”, getting...
