Even though the titular product very much twists through the entire DNA of The Beauty, I’m pretty sure we didn’t need any more explanation about...

Things are really starting to heat up in Memory of a Killer now. If Episode 3 was all about teasing out Angelo’s worsening Alzheimer’s issues, making vague hints about who the Ferryman might be and who might be double-crossing whom, Episode 4, “Unhappy Ending”, is about fleshing those lingering suspicions out into full-blown theories.

I do like Memory of a Killer, and I think it has a fundamentally great premise, but you can feel it wearing a little bit in Episode 3, “Samurai”. This is partly the fault of Angelo himself, who is rather in denial about his worsening memory issues and keeps neglecting them, making his already complicated situation even worse.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Tell Me Lies is about highly dysfunctional people doing deeply deplorable things. Always has been. But even by those standards, Season 3 has...

Of course it’s the billionaires! If you were going to sell an experimental trial drug that radically rewrote your DNA for an unfeasibly large amount of money, it’d make complete sense to pitch it directly to people with more money than sense, those to whom small matters like FDA approval – you know, the rules that the plebs are bound by – are small concerns.

A themed party, a drinking game, and a lot of questionable decision-making -- at first blush, "I Don't Cry When I'm Sad Anymore" is Tell Me Lies performing precisely as advertised.

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.

Well, yikes. Just in case you thought Tell Me Lies wasn't uncomfortable enough to watch already, Episode 5 of Season 3, rather fetchingly titled "I'd Like to Hold Her Head Underwater", takes things up a notch.

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.

You can never quite predict what Ryan Murphy is going to do next, and by extension, whether his latest project will be representative of his...

How many people can you see explode before it starts to get tedious? I do worry that The Beauty might be leaning a little too heavily against this gimmick, since Episode 3, “Beautiful Christopher Cross”, opens in much the same way as the premiere, with a woman getting very thirsty and violent before eventually combusting in the middle of a crowded restaurant.

In Episode 2, “Beautiful Jordan”, The Beauty gives us our first glimpse of the villain of the piece, played by Ashton Kutcher. It also turns into John Wick for a good chunk of the very clipped 25-minute runtime, which is an interesting stylistic choice.

The Beauty might have the most Ryan Murphy opening ever. Here’s a supermodel on the runway, looking great. But also looking a little off-kilter. It’s a believable model performance because it’s Bella Hadid, a casting coup a bit like Kim Kardashian starring in a legal drama.

High Potential is an above-average procedural at the best of times, and that has been evident pretty regularly in Season 2. But only rarely does it come together in quite the way it does in Episode 10, “Grounded”, a really excellent hour that neatly embodies all of the interesting and unique things this show does well.
