Can you call yourself a proper outlaw if you lose a sword fight to Sean Bean? It’s worth thinking about. The guy dies in everything...

I’m beginning to really enjoy the rhythm of Landman Season 2. This is perhaps because it hasn’t always had a discernible one.

You could feel it coming, couldn't you? All throughout Mayor of Kingstown Season 4, that feeling of impending calamity has been building, and building, and here in Episode 8, "Belleville", it arrives.

I do love a subplot that feels very specific, and Sheriff Country has had its share of those already. But it has a really good one in Episode 8, appropriately titled “Death & Taxes”, which really enjoyably leans into the show’s very specific vibe and sense of place.

I’ve been moaning about Boston Blue’s lack of meaningful conflict. But I’m beginning to wonder if maybe the real thing that was missing was depth.

There’s a lot of fire in City of Shadows. Flames form a recurring motif; for revenge, for rebirth, for all kinds of the usual ideas...

Slipping right into the storied streaming canon about maverick detectives with haunted backstories solving major crimes in European cities, City of Shadows is the latest...

For a while, the hook of Pluribus was that Carol was completely alone. This quickly turned out to be an exaggeration. She was introduced to other English-speaking survivors almost immediately, and even made friends, sort of, with the Others themselves.

After an outing that felt like a penultimate episode but wasn’t, then a penultimate episode that felt like a finale, it’s probably only right that...

I’m happy to report that the ending of Loot Season 3 is a lot better than I expected it to be, given the currently ropey state of...

Trust DMV to radically improve just in time for the midseason finale.

It turns out Laila is still in Watson Season 2 after all, but her sudden reappearance in Episode 9 causes more problems than it fixes.

Well, it has been an interesting season, hasn’t it? You can accuse All’s Fair of many things, but only rarely are we confronted with such...

I Love LA has been a comedy since the beginning, and it’s still a comedy in Episode 6, but only just.

Whenever people think of It, they invariably think of a scary dancing clown, but if Welcome to Derry is proving anything, it’s that Pennywise is the least of Derry’s problems.

Pro Bono feels like a pretty safe bet for fans of Jung Kyung-ho and the kind of weekend streaming K-Dramas that feel more like a reassuring hug than anything genuinely provocative.
