Hulu

I know I’m always moaning about this show for reasons that it sometimes can’t even help, but “Masterpiece” – a provocative title in itself, I think – doesn’t really feel like Murder in a Small Town, you know what I mean?

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

When a show like Murder in a Small Town has an episode like “This, That, and the Other Thing” in its locker, it can sometimes make you wonder why it’s so content to be mediocre most of the time.

The vitriolic criticism of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair has been more predictable than warranted.

Season 2 of Murder in a Small Town isn’t really working for me. I’ve thought that since the beginning.

I never thought I'd hear the term "revenge vagina", but here we are. There are certain things you can rely on Ryan Murphy for, and it's probably stuff like this.

I have a personal theory that most things would be improved by the presence of Sarah Paulson, and this seems as true of All's Fair as it is of anything else.

Only rarely have I ever seen a show lay out the basic shape of its premise as quickly as All's Fair does.

A Christmas movie releasing on the first day of November is really pushing it. It’s the film equivalent of those people who put their trees...

I’ve always maintained that High Potential works better when it legitimately challenges Morgan.

I’ve been a fan of Chad Powers since the beginning, but I’m quite happy to admit that the one thing it hasn’t been is unconventional. A hodgepodge...

Every week, I make a joke about how many murders can happen in a small town before they stop being noteworthy, so I feel fairly vindicated by “Strangers Among Us.”

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

Episode 5 of Chad Powers begins with two back-to-back moments of excruciatingly awkward cringe comedy, but it ends with serious, unexpected character drama, and that's probably Hulu's comedy in a nutshell.

Most people, I suspect, watch Murder in a Small Town for the murders.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.

Truth being told, I don't know what people don't like about Chad Powers. As far as comedies go, it does more or less everything right.

You can’t say I didn’t warn you. It was only a matter of time before the cracks started to emerge in Karl and Cassandra’s relationship.
