I can’t think of anything worse than spending ages locked in a car with Will from Platonic, which is a bit of an obstacle since...

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.

Twelve leaves us with a lot of questions after Episode 4. On some level, this isn’t a terrible thing, since it wouldn’t do for a show to give all of its secrets away out of the gate.

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

Good TV conflict always creates the impression that the villains have the upper hand, only for the heroes to rally and save the day in the end, but I do wonder if Twelve might be going a bit far with it.

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.

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.
