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...

It probably says a lot about the state of contemporary society that two big shows on two major streaming platforms have delivered episodes in less than a week, each offering two different takes on the same scene. And that scene is a major character’s OnlyFans persona taking on outsized proportions and stomping Kaiju-style through a fake cityscape.

Following the apprehension of Randall Clegg, Marshals is down a Big Bad, which means it has to fill its time with something else. This is probably why Episode 10, “Playing with Fire”, gets so personal.

On the plus side, Episode 9 of Marshals is probably the most straightforwardly action-packed outing of the season, which doesn’t leave much room for any weaker subplots or wavering focus.

To say the show is called Rooster, it’s very much not about Rooster for depressingly large stretches. And given we’re right on the cusp of...

Blimey, Sheriff Country isn’t kind to Boone, is it? Granted, Mickey directing Boone to the friend zone for the second time in as many episodes...

You know how it goes in procedurals. One of the main characters has a major personal revelation, they refuse to talk to the people they...

The Hunting Party Season 2 comes to a close in Episode 13 by shifting the status quo pretty radically, honestly, in a way that I’m...

One thing The Hunting Party has always done well – and continues to do well in Season 2 – is having its cake and eating...

Euphoria is a very literal show, often too literal for its own good, so the whole enterprise isn’t partial to metaphor. This has been as...
