You can always tell when Brilliant Minds is due to go on hiatus, since that’s when it wheels out the big guns. Season 2 hasn’t had very...

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The big reveal of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally arrives in Episode 3, "The Squire", and it's about time, too, since virtually everyone watching the show will have figured it out already.

Industry is about the worst people in the world, partaking in an endless stream of deplorable and immoral activities. This is as true now as it...

Isn’t it funny how, when Season 2 began, nobody really expected or wanted a sequel to The Night Manager, and now that it’s ending, the...

I think it's fair to say that you don't come to Spartacus: House of Ashur looking for depth of character. It's a show about copious amounts of blood and guts, full-frontal nudity -- I see you, Pompey -- and ridiculous quasi-Shakespearean dialogue.

The Hunting Party has been a little male-dominant in Season 2, so Episode 4 already wins some novelty points by revolving around a female spree killer. Thankfully, "Amanda Weiss" has a bit more going for it than that.

I know it has been a while since the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world, but The Beauty clearly hasn’t forgotten the panic and paranoia...

It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.

Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.

Memory of a Killer has one of those premises that just resonates, which is probably why it has been adapted and remade so many times.

It used to be that zombies and Nazis were the most overdone, uncomplicated villains in media, but AI is definitely threatening to catch up.

You might have a memory of Memory of a Killer, a Belgian novel that became a Belgian movie and was remade with Liam Neeson in 2022 under the simpler title Memory. If you don’t, Episode 1 will give you a familiar feeling either way.

If Henry and Yasmin's extremely toxic and bizarre marital life constituted a bit of a break for Industry Season 4, then Episode 3, "Habseligkeiten", is HBO's drama getting back to business.

If we're being honest, there isn't a great deal going on in Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's one of those classic, early-season "getting to know you" outings, making necessary introductions and setting things up for later.

The Night Manager has spent most of Season 2 trying to redo the events of Season 1, albeit with some key exceptions. One of those exceptions is Teddy, and Episode 5, which is largely a showpiece for actor Diego Calva, shows how valuable that exception is.

It’s always daddy issues, isn’t it? Since The Hunting Party deals with the psychology of killers, it’s kind of unavoidable that parental problems will frequently come to the fore, but the titular Zack Lang, who’s the focus of Season 2, Episode 3, almost feels like he has been assembled from a nutcase bingo card.

Spartacus: House of Ashur, after a week off, returns to the sands of the arena and, of course, provides a mandatory late-game character death to...
