Cross Season 2 has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to providing answers about what’s really going on. This is to be expected, of course,...

Cross Season 2 seems to know where it’s going, and is in a hurry to get there. This is no bad thing, in my view,...

The first season of Cross was pretty dark, granted, but it wasn’t “burning alive and cutting the fingers off of rich child predators” dark, so...

This is pretty reductive to say, and I’ll obviously expand on it, but the truth about Cross Season 2 is essentially this – if you...

People haven’t been especially keen on Season 2 of Fallout, for some reasons that make a degree of sense and some that don’t, but it’s...

When I first heard tell of a straight-to-streaming action movie starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, I feared the worst. And it’s on Prime Video,...

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...

The more I think about Fallout Season 2, the more I think I understand why it can’t quite reach the heights it’s capable of reaching, even when it’s pretty good.

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.

I’m not sure about “The Other Player”, truth be told. One has to wonder whether Fallout Season 2 really needs an episode like this so late in its run, one that takes a notable present-day pacing hit to better flesh out some wider world-building details.

Who’s being wrangled in “The Wrangler”? It’s more a case of what’s being wrangled, honestly, and the answer is pretty much every knotty plot thread that Fallout has been untangling in Season 2.

I've had some pretty rough hangovers, but I can't imagine how Pine is feeling in Episode 3 of The Night Manager Season 2. Then again, considering he was miraculously able to maintain his cover story despite being drunk, drugged, and lovingly nursed by a dangerous gun-runner, he probably has quite the constitution.

New Vegas was the clear selling point of Fallout Season 2, so it’s nice that in Episode 4, “The Demon in the Snow”, Lucy and the Ghoul finally arrive there.

There is no more damning indictment of the state of contemporary media than The Night Manager being back on our screens a decade after contentedly...

The Night Manager has never been a particularly vibes-heavy show, unless, of course, the vibes you’re looking for are rather grounded and intense ones. But...

Mental health seems to be a growing concern in the espionage business. The Agency was almost entirely about the psychological toll of being a spy,...

War is rarely funny, which is probably why Fallout has always worked as a satire. The horrors of nuclear Armageddon, endless conflict, and the demented factions who perpetuate it – this isn’t laugh-a-minute stuff. In the two episodes of Season 2 we’ve seen already, a lot of really grim stuff has happened, the kind of stuff that changes people, makes them realise who they are (or who they aren’t).

It’s probably fitting that Fallout, of all shows, devotes some time to side quests. There’s an argument to be made that this isn’t the best way to structure a television series, and that Season 2 is already moving a little bit slower than it should be, but there’s a very valid counter-argument that Episode 2, “The Golden Rule”, is fun enough for it not to matter.
