If nothing else, at least DMV seems to be listening to me. I've been crying out for the sitcom to give Colette something -- anything -- different to do, and in Episode 5, "Stick Shift", it just about manages it.

I’ll be the first person to admit that Watson doesn’t need Sherlock Holmes. It works better without him, actually.

What I liked about Talamasca: The Secret Order initially is that, despite being set in a world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural ephemera, it presented itself as a pretty straight-up espionage thriller.

It’s a rare show – and, in case it wasn’t obvious, The Chair Company is a very rare show – that doesn’t seem any closer to meaningfully explaining what it’s about by the time it’s halfway through.

The best joke in I Love LA is that the funniest character isn’t any of the Gen Z influencer caricatures that Rachel Sennott has clearly created the show to mock.

I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.

I know I keep going on about it, but you’ll have to forgive me, since it’s really difficult not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston...

It’s a good job Boston Blue is a decent procedural, because if it weren’t for the cases of the week, it’d be the dullest, most...

Season 2 of Murder in a Small Town isn’t really working for me. I’ve thought that since the beginning.

In Episode 4 of DMV, things are half-improved. The secret is keeping Colette away from Noa for a while, since that dynamic was already becoming tired.

In a weird way, it’s almost impressive that we’re on Season 2 of Watson and yet nobody involved in its creation has quite figured out who any of its core characters are.

It is highly probable that I am so far removed from the target demographic of an HBO comedy about single twenty-something Californian girls – and guys! – trying to make it in L.A., that any opinion I may or may not have on the subject is utterly worthless.

After what was pretty unmistakably a Halloween special in disguise, imagine my delight when the cold open of The Chair Company Episode 4 suggested we were doing a Christmas special this week instead.

I’ve got to be honest, I kind of see Guy’s point in Talamasca: The Secret Order.

It’s only Episode 3, and things really aren’t looking good for Mickey or Skye in Sheriff Country.

I respect Boston Blue for not turning Episode 3 into some kind of wacky Halloween special, but after moaning last week that it seems too willing to contrive happy endings for everyone, it’s kind of a double-edged sword.

You can tell a lot about a show from its title sequence. It: Welcome to Derry boasts a fun one in Episode 2, “The Thing in the Dark”, which fittingly released on Halloween on Max and will occupy its usual timeslot on HBO.

I’ve always maintained that High Potential works better when it legitimately challenges Morgan.
