A lot of shows have twists and turns. Some are completely contrived and difficult to predict because they don’t make any sense. But some shows...

The morning after the night before – or, I suppose, the moments after the moments before, if you’re in a bit of a rush – is always pretty sobering.

Now we’ve passed the midpoint of His & Hers, things are getting pretty serious. The bodies are piling up, suspicions are mounting, secrets are being revealed, and, crucially, some earnest emotional sentiment is beginning to creep to the forefront.

You might be wondering at what point we're supposed to feel any kind of sympathy for the predicament the leads of His & Hers find themselves in.

If the first episode of His & Hers was about making Anna look guilty, then Episode 2 is about making Jack look equally suspicious.

There’s something quite compelling about Time Flies, an Argentine Netflix series based on two fused novels by Claudia Piñeiro (the author also behind Elena Knows...

Ending a series isn’t an easy thing to do, and ending a series like Stranger Things is almost impossible. Originally conceived as a one-off, the...

Thanks to a relatively revelatory penultimate episode, Harlan Coben’s Run Away doesn’t have a great deal to do in its finale. Episode 8, “It Stays...
