It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone that a show titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is primarily about Amanda Knox.

I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.

The truth is a fluid thing, wriggly and uncertain. It’s time-sensitive, open to interpretation, and matters less than the story it’s wrapped in. When you...

I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.

Episode 3 of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox begins by doing something that neither of the first two did, which is to attempt to characterise Giuliano Mignini.

“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.

One suspects that Episode 2 is the showpiece hour of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.

There's a surprisingly light touch to the earliest portions of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, Hulu's adaptation of Knox’s 2013 memoir, Waiting to Be Heard.

I get that it’d be a stretch to say the Xenomorphs are the good guys in Alien: Earth, but it’s a possibility we should probably consider. The upside of relocating this franchise to terra firma is that it provides a much broader sample buffet of extraterrestrial entrées.

It’s amazing that there hasn’t been an Alien TV show until now. It seems so obvious.

Nobody would argue that the ending of Red Eye makes a great deal of sense. You can trace the plot particulars, obviously, but it requires...

Richard Armitage was built for streaming. Stick this guy in a ropey thriller with any concept you like and he’ll do a halfway decent job...

The important thing to understand about Call Her Alex is that its subject, Alex Cooper, is much more interesting than the docuseries itself. After premiering...

What to do with the Predators? This has been a question of some concern for years now, ever since the all-time-great Arnold Schwarzenegger original provided...

If you’re looking for justice, especially the typical TV version of the concept, you’re not going to get it from the finale of Good American Family....

Good American Family is, on the face of it, a tale of two halves, told from two contrary perspectives.

The smart and complete turnaround of Good American Family has been a whiplash-inducing pivot that has improved the Hulu series tenfold.

I must confess to being sceptical that Good American Family could pull off a meaningful change in perspective after how unambiguous the first four episodes were.
