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.

With Watson Season 2 having moved on from Sherlock Holmes as quickly as he was introduced, Episode 3, “Expletive Deleted”, has the advantage of being able to push forward with the case of the week as a pure medical mystery.

I guess enough time has passed for an episode about a pandemic, even a tiny one that only flirts with the idea of becoming a wide-scale health event.

DMV can get away with a lot because it's genuinely funny more often than it isn't.

Let's just get this out of the way -- there's far too much going on in "The Doctor's Graveyard".

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.

It occurred to me during "Once Upon A Time In America" that Brilliant Minds has spent so much time building mystery in Season 2 that it has kind of skimped on the emotion a little.

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...
