Echo Valley is one of those movies that start out as one thing and become something else. But it’s also a rarer type of movie...

I’ve been cattily picking at Murderbot ever since it debuted, but in Episode 6, I felt like it was finally learning its lesson.

I caught myself thinking during Episode 4 that Stick has made a pretty fundamental miscalculation.

Thus far, Murderbot has done a pretty good job of balancing its comedy with its drama. But it’s always a fine line.

It’s impossible to talk about Stick without mentioning Ted Lasso, since the rubric for beloved sports comedies was defined by AFC Richmond’s adventures on Apple TV+.

Murderbot still has the usual problems in Episode 4, namely being too rushed and clipped for its own good, but “Escape Velocity Protocol” brings everything together well despite those quibbles.

The ending of Your Friends & Neighbors hinges on one key question — is Coop going to prison? From the very beginning of Episode 9, contemplatively titled...

There’s a moment in Guy Ritchie’s Fountain of Youth when treasure hunter Luke Purdue (John Krasinski, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) steals a Rembrandt painting from...

I’ve identified a key issue in Murderbot. To be fair, I mentioned it in my recap of the two-part premiere, and nothing has changed; it’s just twice as noticeable because Episode 3 is obviously half as long.

"How Did We Become These People?" is, like the previous episode of Your Friends & Neighbors, something of a slow chapter.

Based on everything we’ve seen from The Studio thus far, it was hard to imagine that even its ending would give Matt a break. And all throughout...

Murderbot is a comedy, first and foremost, and one of its key jokes is how little murder is in it, given the title.

On the one hand, Episode 7 of Your Friends & Neighbors contains by far the most significant developments yet, with the long arm of the law finally catching Coop by the scruff of his neck.

The fact that Las Vegas is nicknamed “Sin City” should probably be a clue that hosting anything important there is a bad idea, especially if that important thing needs a lot of egoists to sell it.

If we're being frank, Your Friends & Neighbors hasn't been an especially contemplative show, which is perhaps why Episode 6 is such a standout installment.

It has taken Your Friends & Neighbors five weeks to circle back to the brutal crime scene it began with, but Episode 5 finally gets us there with a little more context.

The Studio is a show about Hollywood that clearly enjoys an impressive amount of access to its stars and executives, but it has rarely felt quite as insider-y as it does in Episode 8, aptly titled “The Golden Globes”.

Is the Kool-Aid Man a Black dude? This is the question at the core of The Studio Episode 7, and it's a funny one to ask, since it raises the impossibly circuitous minefield of contemporary identity politics.
