Dark humour is a safety mechanism, a release valve for when the pressure of real life gets too much to handle. If we can laugh...

Well, we’d better be careful with this one, folks. You can say a lot about Brett Favre, but at least you can’t accuse him of...

As much as I’ll always relish the opportunity for food puns, I should start taking Tastefully Yours a bit more seriously since, as of Episode 3, it’s really starting to cohere.

There’s probably a case to be made that nine episodes into a 12-episode season is too late for a show to get good. But this is also likely underselling Heavenly Ever After, which has always been “good”, so to speak, and has mostly just failed to progress beyond that.

I’m one of those insufferable fans of The Last of Us Part II who thinks it’s a work of towering genius, and I’ve done nothing throughout these recaps but moan about all the ways in which Season 2 of the HBO adaptation has made changes to it.

Good news, those few remaining viewers who consume The Walking Dead: Dead City out of choice instead of professional obligation -- Episode 3 isn't quite as stupid as the previous installment was.

Well, MobLand is getting rather complicated now, isn’t it? I thought that last week’s international introductions were enough to be going on with, but Episode 8 has other ideas.

Having thought about it a bit, I’m still not sure whether Football Parents has a happy ending or not. I suppose it depends on who...

I am, for my sins, a football parent, so there’s a lot I find familiar about the Dutch Netflix comedy Football Parents. The general inability...

Blackjack! Murder! Revenge! All the elements you’d expect from Bet’s ending are present and correct in Episode 10, “Winner Takes All”, as well as the...

Netflix’s Bet (2025) is a live-action adaptation of an anime, itself transplanted from a manga, and at this point, I should probably mention that I...

Netflix’s often stellar sci-fi/fantasy anthology series Love, Death + Robots returns for Season 4 with another clutch of episodes, each highlighting a different style of...

Anthologies are always a mixed bag by definition, but Tim Miller and David Fincher’s Love, Death + Robots has remained remarkably consistent throughout its first three seasons...

Netflix’s American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing was a sobering exploration of the impact of domestic terrorism and America’s post-9/11 psyche, and I thought about...

It says a lot about how truly depraved two people can be that they remain at the forefront of the public consciousness decades after the...

The fact that Las Vegas is nicknamed “Sin City” should probably be a clue that hosting anything important there is a bad idea, especially if that important thing needs a lot of egoists to sell it.
