There’s a thing about jump scares where they almost never work because savvy viewers have come to expect them.

There are openings, and then there are openings. It: Welcome to Derry has an italicised version.

Talamasca: The Secret Order kind of relies on Guy Anatole being smart, which is a bit of a problem, since Episode 2 reveals him to be a total idiot.

The smartest decision that Talamasca: The Secret Order makes is presenting itself as a straight-up spy thriller.

It’s hard not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston Blue. They’re pretty different shows on the face of it, sure, but are they really?

My biggest question about Boston Blue is when things are going to start going wrong.

Every week, I make a joke about how many murders can happen in a small town before they stop being noteworthy, so I feel fairly vindicated by “Strangers Among Us.”

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

DMV turns up the heat in Episode 2, both literally and otherwise. "Stay in Your Lane" is a significantly more chaotic episode than the premiere was.

All the comedy in The Chair Company lives in the space between how other people see Ron Trosper and what he’s actually like.

Task ended with Robbie’s death, in many ways. I don’t mean literally, obviously, because Episode 7 devotes another epilogue-style hour to tying up loose ends...

The hook of Sheriff Country is that it’s about a sheriff for whom the law is the least of her problems.

There are few things more satisfying than a legal drama that lets the good guys win. In the case of The Rainmaker, I don’t use...

Most people, I suspect, watch Murder in a Small Town for the murders.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.
