Thus far, Rooster has been much more of a comedy than a drama. The elusive balance that really characterises great Bill Lawrence shows like Ted Lasso and Shrinking is conspicuously absent...

It’s a testament to how good DTF St. Louis is that the cold open of Episode 4, rather drily titled “Missouri Mutual Life & Health Insurance Company”,...

Given that The Comeback has always been a show with an eerie soothsaying quality about it, it’s really no surprise that Season 3 – which...

A lot can happen in two hours. Nobody is learning this quicker than the staff at PTMC, who keep reminding everyone that they're only a couple of hours away from the end of what has been a veritable shift from hell. But we're not there yet.

Steve Carell made a handy focal point for Rooster, and his reluctant bumbling is what helped to situate us at Ludlow and get a sense...

DTF. St Louis has been pretty good since it started. Odd, sure, and unconventional enough for its ultimate destination to feel sometimes worryingly elusive. In...

Everybody has a breaking point, and The Pitt Season 2 has hit the stage where several characters are experiencing theirs at the same time. Episode 10 has mommy issues on multiple fronts, terrible bedside manner, petty squabbling, another godforsaken degloving injury, assisted suicide, a missing leg, a missing son, and even more foreshadowing about Robby's inevitable motorcycle-related demise. Where to even begin?

Rooster was always going to be good. A dramedy from the creators of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Scrubs, starring Steve Carell as a bumbling author intervening in the spiralling love life of his daughter and her cheating husband against the backdrop of a liberal arts college campus? Sometimes these things just write themselves.

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.

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.

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...

The Pitt always causes me some degree of anxiety, and Season 2 has taken great pleasure in doing that so far. But I must confess to being unusually susceptible to Episode 8, since "2:00 P.M." marks the start of an analogue stint that might last up to 24 hours.

Industry Season 4 is now proceeding with such full-throttle end-of-run HBO primetime confidence that every hour is a new delight, often in a different way...

George R. R. Martin himself has said that the death of Baelor Targaryen is one of the most significant moments in Westerosi history, one of...

When you think of The Pitt, it’s easy to think of horrific injuries. Season 2 has had its fair share already, and there are plenty...

Not to be hyperbolic about things, but "Dear Henry" is a properly masterful hour of television. When I talked about how Industry Season 4 gets better as it goes along, this is the kind of thing I was talking about.

Delayed gratification is the art of making someone wait for something they definitely want, and it’s an idea very neatly displayed in Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
