I feel a little out of the loop with Murder in a Small Town. I like the show, more or less, but I’ve been critical...

The ending of Tell Me Lies Season 2 finds the show operating at the absolute peak of its powers. Episode 8, “Don’t Struggle Like That, I Will...

Shrinking is a fantastic comedy that is sometimes so funny its depth sneaks up on you. This was true in Season 1 and it’s immediately true...

There’s nothing stand-up comedy connoisseurs like less than experimental specials that challenge the idea of what stand-up comedy can be, so I fear the discourse...

The network TV landscape loves “unconventional” doctors, but there’s only so far you can push the idea before you strain credulity to breaking point, and...

It was only right that English Teacher, a truly excellent sitcom, had a really good ending, and Episode 8, “Birthday”, caps off Season 1 in fine...

I wish I knew more about Tecto, the hero of the inevitably doomed superhero flick at the heart of The Franchise. There’s no way this...

Oz Cobb has emerged as such a compelling character that you’d think The Penguin wouldn’t work without him, but Episode 4, “Cent’Anni”, barely features him and doesn’t...

It’s early days yet, but I suppose it’s worthwhile asking where A Virtuous Business might be going. There aren’t exactly an abundance of empowering female-driven...

I’m not sure that Tulsa King Season 2 has quite lived up to the expectations I had for it, but Episode 5, “Tilting at Windmills”,...

A new business endeavour becomes confusingly personal in Episode 2 of Joan, which admittedly lacks the snappy pace of the premiere. It remains, though, a...

The comedic hook of A Virtuous Business is fairly straightforward – the clash of conservative Korea and sexual openness. Lots of K-Dramas are sexy, of...

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...
