It's easy to think about the disappointingly inert previous episode as the calm before the storm in light of "Twilight of the Wolf", an all-guns-blazing, protracted action sequence that barely comes up for air.

Not to get all philosophical on anyone, but sometimes resting is the quickest way to get somewhere. But this is a difficult concept to get...

“Out of the frying pan, into the fire” comes to mind. To be fair, you could apply this idea to most of what has happened...

In my review of The Witcher Season 4, I moaned about the whole thing feeling a little weirdly siloed and disconnected, its core storylines happening in parallel...

Let’s just get the elephant in the room out of the way – Liam Hemsworth is fine. Sure, he’s visibly doing an impression of Henry...

Witchers are labourers, essentially. The labour is just hunting and killing monsters. They’re fantastical pest controllers, really, itinerant exterminators who will do the dirty jobs...

Season 4 of The Witcher has its back against the wall in the most considerable way possible. Nobody liked the previous season very much, and that was...

It was, I think, pretty inevitable that The Asset wasn’t going to have a happy ending. It’s just that kind of show. Like I’ve said already, undercover...

The morning after the night before is never easy. If you're a recovering drug addict who just had a few bumps of Class A narcotics, and if your friendship with your new bestie is liable to get her killed by her dangerous mobster boyfriend, the morning after is a whole new nightmare.

As someone who watches a lot of film and TV, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of undercover work. What I’m primarily interested in...

There’s a longstanding joke about how easily men make friends, but The Asset holds that the same is true for women. As it turns out, if your...

Who’s the best person to go undercover in a drug-smuggling syndicate? According to Episode 1 of Netflix’s The Asset, it’s a traumatized woman with no experience...

There’s a peculiar predicament that Typhoon Family finds itself in, I think as a consequence of being backdropped by a very real financial crisis.
