Two years after Season 1 turned out to be surprisingly good, and thirty years after the debut of the long-abandoned PlayStation series on which it’s...

War of the Worlds (2025) is impressively terrible in a lot of different ways, but its ending is particularly egregious. What is otherwise an ill-advised...

It doesn’t generally speak highly of a movie when it’s quietly dumped on a streaming platform after only being announced — equally quietly, with zero...

You could -- and perhaps should -- quibble about where "All Rise" fits into The Buccaneers Season 2 more broadly, especially since it means the fallout from Dick's death last week ends up feeling a little shortchanged.

Let me be clear — I like Dusty Slay. He’s a funny observational comic with relatable blue-collar appeal and a hint of freewheeling, improvisational weirdness....

There’s a concept in professional wrestling – or “sports entertainment”, whatever you prefer – known as “kayfabe”. In simple terms, it’s the idea of keeping...

The problem with David Berkowitz, aka the “.44 Caliber Killer” and, eventually, “The Son of Sam”, is that in a true crime streaming context, he...

It's only Episode 2, and yet The Winning Try is already delivering finale-quality drama, with all the big emotional swings and payoffs you'd expect after a full season of development.

The Winning Try is one of those from-the-ashes sports dramas that ensnares you immediately.

When you really boil it down, the ending of Trigger, like the show itself, is a conflict over two competing ideologies. This theme is made...

Trigger has a fascinating and provocative dystopian premise, which imagines Korea awash with free, easily accessible firearms. The only man fighting against the tide is Lee...

The central idea of Trigger is that a lot of people are just waiting for the opportunity to shoot someone. Based on the shooting rates...

I suppose there's no invitation more compelling for a serial killer than one to a dinner party full of other serial killers.
