While watching Maledictions, it occurred to me that more shows should have the confidence to only run for three episodes. And you’d think, at least...

Episode 8 of Beauty in Black Season 2 doesn’t feel like an ending, since it isn’t one, really. It’s the finale of “Part 1”, which...

It was an inevitability that Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black would return for Season 2, and here we are. As with the first season, this one is...

You have to laugh, don’t you? Ordinarily, Netflix reserves its silly two-part strategy for only its biggest IPs, like when it released half of Wednesday...

As expected, Episode 6 of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty revolves around Ji-young rising up to defend Joseon’s reputation in front of the Ming Dynasty.

I’ve been saying all throughout Beyond the Bar that Seok-hoon and Hyo-min work better as colleagues than as a potential couple, so you can imagine...

You can tell we’re approaching the end of Beyond the Bar because we’re getting into the territory of needlessly long episodes.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has been pretty knockabout so far, but the margins have always contained a much more serious show.

Wednesday is about werewolves and zombies and death; about Gorgons and Sirens and mad scientists. But it’s mostly about friendship and family, especially in Part...

Wednesday is pretty good at endings. It’s the done thing these days to never really end a show, but this one has always been good at...

Wednesday Season 2 peaked with its Freaky Friday body-swap episode, so it was inevitable that Episode 7, "Woe Me the Money", would feel like a bit of a step down.

The lingering questions of what Wednesday was doing with its Season 2 storylines after that midseason premiere are answered pretty much immediately in Episode 6, so don't worry about it.

There are two major selling points of "Hyde and Woe Seek", beyond the obvious fact that it's the Part 2 premiere and follows on directly from the Part 1 mid-season finale.

How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.

Once again I’m confronted with the possibility that Beyond the Bar might be responding to these recaps directly.

It took until Episode 9, but Beyond the Bar fiddles with its structure a little bit here, splitting its time between two cases, one of which isn’t entirely resolved by the end.

There was never a doubt in my mind that The Winning Try would stick the landing and deliver a satisfying ending, but even I was surprised by the sheer quality of its finale.

I struggle to think of a TV show in recent years that has charmed and delighted me quite as much as The Winning Try.
