There are many advantages to a show being renewed way ahead of its Season 1 run ending, and you can see most of them on...

I’m not sure how it happened. I’ve been making fun of Euphoria Season 3 since the beginning, and it really did look to be running...

This is a weird statement, I’ll grant you that, but here it is anyway: The Audacity doesn’t feel like the kind of show that would...

Throughout its entire Season 1 run, Sheriff Country has set a pretty high bar for a network procedural, and I’m pleased to report that its...

Given Boston Blue’s penchant for sappy emotionality, pretty much everyone was expecting a happy ending to Season 1. But given CBS’s need to justify a...

In lieu of a proper overarching plot, especially with the nearest thing to a Big Bad having already been dispatched, and most of the lingering personal conflicts having already been ironed out, it’s important for Marshals to come up with some other ideas to build tension for its upcoming finale.

Here I was, claiming that Euphoria doesn’t have a great deal going on in Season 3 beyond the obvious viral sensationalism of Sydney Sweeney’s kaiju boobs. With very credible arguments floating around that this show has exceeded the purpose of its existence, Episode 6 is reassuring in its way, since it’s the first chapter that feels less designed to court controversy and more intended to offer a sliver of hope to these woebegone fools.

So, Duncan and JoAnne's partnership didn't even manage to last a single episode. I suppose that's The Audacity in a nutshell, really. Everyone is too self-interested for a proper relationship to ever germinate in the Palo Alto soil; it's just a case of playing nice long enough for the right opportunity to present itself. I'm not even sure who legally owns which company at this stage, which is probably part of the point.

One thing I’ve always wondered about The Audacity is how Duncan managed to achieve any success at all. And for what it’s worth, I think...

I know I compare Boston Blue and Sheriff Country a lot, perhaps even a little unfairly, but their respective trajectories have been interesting to follow....

You’d think that criminals would have learned by now that shooting cops is probably a bad idea. In a show like Boston Blue, which is...

Yellowstone was a bit of a phenomenon, and once it became obvious that people really liked it, creator Taylor Sheridan and his partners at CBS...

We’re not very far into Season 3 of The Terror, and we don’t know Pepper especially well. He’s trapped in less-than-ideal circumstances, and he’s under...

I’m never quite sure what AMC is doing with The Terror. There are always giant gaps between seasons, the marketing is always light, nobody ever...

Euphoria is a strange series – I know that’s an obvious thing to state now that it has reached Season 3, but as rumors swirl...

CBS’s Yellowstone spin-off Marshals was always intended to further flesh out Taylor Sheridan’s Duttonverse – if that’s what we’re calling it – through the specific...

It was obvious that Kayce was going to have some difficulty explaining why he was planning to extrajudicially murder a prison escapee, but even I didn’t think that his justification for that, or indeed how it might relate to his relationship with Cal and their long-standing trauma over that fateful mission in Afghanistan, would create such a downbeat and emotionally resonant episode.

I will confess to not having enjoyed Rooster as much as I expected to. First impressions were good, of course, but its ideas and characters...
