Who’s being wrangled in “The Wrangler”? It’s more a case of what’s being wrangled, honestly, and the answer is pretty much every knotty plot thread that Fallout has been untangling in Season 2.

I've had some pretty rough hangovers, but I can't imagine how Pine is feeling in Episode 3 of The Night Manager Season 2. Then again, considering he was miraculously able to maintain his cover story despite being drunk, drugged, and lovingly nursed by a dangerous gun-runner, he probably has quite the constitution.

New Vegas was the clear selling point of Fallout Season 2, so it’s nice that in Episode 4, “The Demon in the Snow”, Lucy and the Ghoul finally arrive there.

There is no more damning indictment of the state of contemporary media than The Night Manager being back on our screens a decade after contentedly...

The Night Manager has never been a particularly vibes-heavy show, unless, of course, the vibes you’re looking for are rather grounded and intense ones. But...

Mental health seems to be a growing concern in the espionage business. The Agency was almost entirely about the psychological toll of being a spy,...

War is rarely funny, which is probably why Fallout has always worked as a satire. The horrors of nuclear Armageddon, endless conflict, and the demented factions who perpetuate it – this isn’t laugh-a-minute stuff. In the two episodes of Season 2 we’ve seen already, a lot of really grim stuff has happened, the kind of stuff that changes people, makes them realise who they are (or who they aren’t).

It’s probably fitting that Fallout, of all shows, devotes some time to side quests. There’s an argument to be made that this isn’t the best way to structure a television series, and that Season 2 is already moving a little bit slower than it should be, but there’s a very valid counter-argument that Episode 2, “The Golden Rule”, is fun enough for it not to matter.

Back in the Wasteland, heading to New Vegas, and it feels like there’s a lot on the line for Fallout Season 2.

Much like how “horror movie, but with a dog” was more than enough of an elevator pitch for Good Boy, “rom com, but with a...

In most shows, the finale of Malice would constitute a happy ending. The pampered, privileged family is taken to task for their selfishness, after all,...

Nothing about Prime Video’s Malice should work. It’s very silly, totally implausible, and stars Jack Whitehall, of all people, not as bumbling comic relief but...

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...

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...

Predictably, Harlan Coben’s Lazarus has one of those endings that seem to go on forever, delivering twist after twist just for the fun of it....

The work of Harlan Coben is perfectly suited to our current era of relentless home entertainment, where audiences swallow stories wholesale and barely have time...

I’m not sure I’d consider the climax of Gen V Season 2 to be a “good” ending in the traditional sense of the term. Sure,...
