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.

The Rainmaker has been a pretty good adaptation so far, different enough from the 1997 film to justify its existence but not so out-there as to feel like a different story entirely.

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

For a comic book show, Peacemaker is becoming surprisingly character-driven in Season 2, and for such a funny comedy, it’s also deeply sad at its core.

Living a lie is a difficult thing to do, especially when you're living several at once, but this is precisely the predicament that Dexter has found himself in all throughout Dexter: Resurrection.

War is coming, of that there can be no doubt. I suppose Chief of War would be a bad title if it weren't.

I don't think there's much point in moaning about Invasion's pacing anymore.

There’s quite a lot bundled up in the ending of The Thursday Murder Club. Not one whodunit but technically two, there aren’t just a couple...

Every now and again, a story – it could be a book, a TV show, a movie, whatever – is popular enough to redefine a...

The final round of the Twisted Metal tournament performs as advertised. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are carnage from top to bottom, killing off the...

Apparently, documentaries about Hurricane Katrina are like buses – you wait ages for one to come along, and then you get two pretty much at...

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.

It occurs to me that The Terminal List: Dark Wolf suffers slightly from Ben Edwards and Raife Hastings being the least interesting things about it.

Maybe it's just me, but The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has real pacing issues.

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.

Blimey, this is a bit serious, isn't it? The Terminal List: Dark Wolf lays its cards out on the table pretty early in Episode 1, and those cards read, roughly, "The American armed forces should be treated with paramount reverence and respect."

Here's a bold prediction about Platonic Season 2 -- I reckon Will is going to lose his job, and Sylvia's event planning business isn't going to take off.

Twelve has a superpower of its own, and while it isn’t animal-themed, it’s undeniably extremely effective – pace.
