Palm Royale is good, there’s no doubt about that. Season 2 has had its misteps, but for the most part, it has been a consistently entertaining...

Let's be clear -- the premiere of Hijack Season 2 only works because it's called Hijack and, after the first season, we know what to expect.

You might be thinking it’s a bit of a stretch for the same guy to be caught up in two separate hijackings. And you’d be...

In case you didn't know there was a finale coming up, Episode 9 of Palm Royale Season 2 makes it pretty clear.

Most shows benefit from a change of scenery, but Palm Royale benefits pretty considerably in “Maxine Hits the Slopes”.

Palm Royale has already reached peak silliness in Season 2, and it doesn’t seem likely to slow down any time soon. Episode 7, “Maxine Plays...

Timing is everything. This has been true of Pluribus all the way through, but it’s especially true of the finale, and not just because it...

The more you think about Pluribus, the better it gets. This isn’t true of very many shows these days, since a lot of shows – even the enjoyable ones – are conceptually fraudulent rubbish.

For the first time in Palm Royale Season 2, the pacing begins to flag in Episode 6. Don’t get me wrong, “Maxine Finds Herself” – a double entendre title that’ll become clear – has its fair share of upsides, including a lot of slapstick-y physical comedy and a great drunk performance from Kristen Wiig.

For a while, the hook of Pluribus was that Carol was completely alone. This quickly turned out to be an exaggeration. She was introduced to other English-speaking survivors almost immediately, and even made friends, sort of, with the Others themselves.

You can describe Palm Royale as many things, but romantic isn’t one of them. There are lots of romances, sure, but they’re always silly, or scandalous, or transactional, which has been as true in Season 2 as it was in the first outing.

After an outing that felt like a penultimate episode but wasn’t, then a penultimate episode that felt like a finale, it’s probably only right that...

I’m happy to report that the ending of Loot Season 3 is a lot better than I expected it to be, given the currently ropey state of...

A couple of things occurred to me while watching Episode 6 of Pluribus. One is that this show would be terrible if anyone other than Vince Gilligan were behind it.

I watch TV professionally, and rarely have I ever seen an episode of television as pointless as the finale of The Last Frontier. Early on, it...

Season 3 of Loot continues to be an exercise in making a once-great show as cripplingly uninteresting as possible.

How do you prove you didn’t kill someone who has disappeared? How do you prove that someone who has disappeared is a murderer?

The last episode of Down Cemetery Road felt like a penultimate episode, so it stands to reason that Episode 7, “Lights Go Out”, should feel like...
