If I have a persistent criticism of What If…? it’s that it rarely feels “what if” enough. The limitless possibilities of a speculative anthology should make this kind of thing really easy.

What constitutes a happy ending in a crime drama? Is it the bad guys getting their comeuppance? A case being satisfyingly solved? The detective at...

Bad Sisters didn’t need Season 2, so the least it could do was end with a bit of finality so that nobody would be tempted...

Somewhat embarrassingly, I let out an audible gasp of relief at a certain point in Shrinking’s Season 2 finale that was so loud and dramatic...

Episode 2 of What If…? Season 3, “What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?”, reinvigorates that godforsaken movie and some of its concepts by pairing Agatha Harkness – very much Marvel’s flavor of the month after Agatha All Along – with Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo.

Everything that happens in Episode 6, “The High-Handed Enemy”, is in service to the kind of big-picture multi-season storytelling that HBO was doubtlessly looking for in a Duniverse project.

What if… the MCU had a baby with Godzilla and the Power Rangers? I have no idea how that would work genetically speaking, but the offspring would probably look a lot like the Season 3 premiere of Marvel’s What If…?

“All Roads Lead to a Hole” sidelines the overarching storylines for a bit to focus completely on the Cooper clan as they adapt to life on the patch.

In many ways, this double-bill is a two-part lesson in why you shouldn’t see the best in people, which is the mistake that all of the survivors in this show have been getting away with constantly.

Episode 8 proves that very capably by shaking up the mystery even further, with new twists and questions complicating what was already a deeply intriguing narrative.

Romance makes an interesting pairing with anything. You can graft a bit of kissing and canoodling onto any other genre and it morphs instantly. Some...

The Agency is a strange show, it has to be said. It was wildly off-putting initially, really improved when it cohered a bit, and here...

Now this is more like it. I was worried about Creature Commandos, I must admit, especially after it got so bogged down in simplistic political...

Mayor Holland’s grip on Silo 18 continues to slip in Episode 6 of Season 2, which is imaginatively titled “Barricades” and finds Mechanical rising up...

Surprising absolutely nobody, the ending of Before is nonsense. We were expecting this, obviously, but Episode 10 is oddly impressive in its self-satisfaction. It’d be one thing...

Episode 4 seems a little early for a show like Skeleton Crew to be resorting to filler, but “Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin” does feel a bit like that.

"The Drugs Don't Work" is the third five-star episode in a row for Shrinking Season 2, which is the first time that has ever happened in the history of this website.

We've spent the entirety of Bad Sisters Season 2 wondering what Ian was really up to, and Episode 7, "How to Pick a Prick", gives us all the juicy details.

Poppa’s House mires a good message in questionable presentation in Episode 8, but there’s still some value in its ideas.

Get Millie Black gives Janet a voice in Episode 4, but in a smart touch, she isn’t quite the victim we thought.
