Part of the reason I get so frustrated with Watson is that when it’s firing on all cylinders, it has the potential to deliver truly...

With no Sherlock in sight, Watson Season 2 always seems to work better. More so than that, Episode 13 finally remembers Laila exists! More to...

As if it wasn’t bad enough that Marshals unceremoniously killed off Monica, now it’s giving Kayce Dutton a new love interest? Yikes. And a blonde,...

“Test Drive” might be the best episode of DMV yet. It’s a close-run thing, granted, largely because most of these instalments are of roughly equivalent...

DMV always being better when a guest star is involved kind of proves my point that it’s at its best when it focuses on anything...

“Progress” is a nebulous term at the best of times, especially given the wavering politics of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, so it’s little surprise that Marshals...

Okay, we’re definitely doing the Mickey and Boone thing. Sheriff Country has been beating about the bush in that regard for weeks, but now that...

There’s always a bit of an eerie quality to real-life parades and celebrations being targeted, so Boston Blue is treading quite a thin line in...

So, what exactly is going on here? I’m used to Watson being rubbish, and I assumed that Season 2’s mid-season premiere being above-average was a...

There’s no point in a Yellowstone spin-off that doesn’t feel pretty intimately connected to Yellowstone, and if the premiere of Marshals had a downside, it...

I always feel bad comparing Sheriff Country to Boston Blue directly, since it doesn’t seem like a fair comparison, but they’re both procedurals airing on the same channel on the same day, and one is significantly better than the other in a way that is strikingly obvious whenever they try to adopt a similar cadence.

It didn’t take a genius to work out that Boston Blue wrapping up its most compelling overarching subplot was going to leave it a little adrift. Episode 11, “Family Secrets,” falls into a procedural holding pattern reminiscent of some of the early-season outings that felt too aimless to take much notice of.

I’ve long held a personal theory that DMV is much better when it isn’t focusing on Colette, and Episode 11, “Power Shift”, makes me feel...

Watson has always had a fairly detectable medical-mystery pattern, so it was perfectly fair to imagine that Season 2’s mid-season premiere would really embrace that...

John Dutton died, and then Yellowstone itself died shortly after him, but that doesn’t mean that Taylor Sheridan was ever going to leave the neo-Western...

Sheriff Country is making a big claim for itself in Episode 10. The midseason premiere, “Crucible, Part 2”, picks up five minutes after the midseason finale, and manages to not only immediately resituate us in that tense siege situation but also keep the suspense up unrelentingly for the entire episode.

And we’re back. After a several-month hiatus, Boston Blue returns in Episode 10 not just to conclude the cliffhanger left by the midseason finale, but also to tie up one of Season 1’s big overarching plots – the murder of Judge Ben Silver.

DMV has been off the air for a long while, and Episode 10 feels less like a triumphant return than a reminder that this show...
