Hey, remember the Fear Street trilogy? What a surprising success that was for Netflix. At least partially a consequence of an unprecedented global health crisis...

In Greek mythology, sirens were creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with beautiful singing and a fetching feminine top half, hiding some sort of...

You know when a show is released in two parts – as is the case with Tyler Perry’s Miss Governor – that the “ending” is really...

Everything Tyler Perry does is funny, usually for entirely the wrong reasons. On that level, at least, Miss Governor feels like a step in the right...

Tastefully Yours is still in that early team-building stage, as evidenced by Episode 4, which uses the tried and tested technique of a bit of competition to solidify the core dynamics.

Dark humour is a safety mechanism, a release valve for when the pressure of real life gets too much to handle. If we can laugh...

Well, we’d better be careful with this one, folks. You can say a lot about Brett Favre, but at least you can’t accuse him of...

As much as I’ll always relish the opportunity for food puns, I should start taking Tastefully Yours a bit more seriously since, as of Episode 3, it’s really starting to cohere.

There’s probably a case to be made that nine episodes into a 12-episode season is too late for a show to get good. But this is also likely underselling Heavenly Ever After, which has always been “good”, so to speak, and has mostly just failed to progress beyond that.

Having thought about it a bit, I’m still not sure whether Football Parents has a happy ending or not. I suppose it depends on who...

I am, for my sins, a football parent, so there’s a lot I find familiar about the Dutch Netflix comedy Football Parents. The general inability...

Blackjack! Murder! Revenge! All the elements you’d expect from Bet’s ending are present and correct in Episode 10, “Winner Takes All”, as well as the...

Netflix’s Bet (2025) is a live-action adaptation of an anime, itself transplanted from a manga, and at this point, I should probably mention that I...

Netflix’s often stellar sci-fi/fantasy anthology series Love, Death + Robots returns for Season 4 with another clutch of episodes, each highlighting a different style of...

Anthologies are always a mixed bag by definition, but Tim Miller and David Fincher’s Love, Death + Robots has remained remarkably consistent throughout its first three seasons...

Netflix’s American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing was a sobering exploration of the impact of domestic terrorism and America’s post-9/11 psyche, and I thought about...

It says a lot about how truly depraved two people can be that they remain at the forefront of the public consciousness decades after the...

Tastefully Yours has a comfort that comes from familiarity. In Episode 2, it’s largely going through the motions, opening the story up a little and shunting it forward, but not threatening to veer off in any unexpected directions.
