DTF St. Louis is that rarest of things, a mystery that is genuinely mysterious. I have no idea who killed Floyd, or why, or what his prior career as a nude male model or his curved penis might have to do with any of it. And that's just the way I like 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.

Finally, a serial killer I can get behind! After all, who among us hasn’t considered pushing an influencer into traffic? The Hunting Party Season 2 hasn’t made much of an effort to be “current”, but you simply can’t have a procedural these days without an influencer case, and Episode 6, “Lou Kaplan”, is that.

When it was revealed that Season 2 of The Pitt was going to be set on the Fourth of July, everyone envisioned a lot of firework-related nastiness. In Episode 9, over halfway through the season, we finally get some of that. But it’s the least of anyone’s problems in PTMC.

The medical drama landscape has changed so much since Scrubs torpedoed its own reputation by trying to carry on past its sell-by date that it’s easy to imagine there’s no place for it in 2026. But if this reboot is proving anything, it’s that we perhaps shouldn’t be so hasty.

At first blush, DTF St. Louis is a show you've seen before. The HBO murder-mystery is about three people circling the drain of a sexless middle age, and one of them turns up dead, casting the other two in suspicion. It isn't the most unique of elevator pitches.

Industry Season 4 was never going to have a happy ending, since happiness doesn’t exist in or indeed anywhere near this show. How can it? It’s...

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.

Let me just get it out of the way: However you want to split hairs regarding whether Scrubs (2026) is Season 8, 9, or 10 of the original series, or whether it’s a completely new thing entirely – which, according to IMDb at least, is the case – there’s only one thing that really matters. Does ABC’s reboot recapture the tone of the show?

The Hunting Party Season 2 is back after a little hiatus, and it’s back guest-starring Kelsey Grammer, which has to count for something. After all, who...
