For such a laidback show, Landman relishes chaos. There’s something about the rhythm of an argument, the back and forth of problems being deliberated over and weighed...

Let’s be clear here: Girl Taken is a very bleak show. Refreshingly, most of its darkest details occur off-screen and are implied instead of shown,...

I’ve often wondered why Alfie Allen pays his agent, since nobody seems to be cast as feckless creeps with more consistency than him. At first...

Nothing about Landman should work. I’ve said this already, in my coverage of the first outing and indeed Season 2, but it’s worth reiterating since this is such a...

Seemingly conceived as an answer to the question “How much torture can be included in an hour of television?”, the finale of Mayor of Kingstown Season 4...

If Landman was trying to give me advice about relationships, I wouldn't take it. None of the ones in this show seem to work out.

Well, that's how you do a penultimate episode, isn't it? Mayor of Kingstown has always been at its best at the tail end of a season, and that seems to be holding true for Season 4, since "Teeth and Tissue" is riveting stuff.

I’ve realised what it is about Landman that I find so fascinating and peculiar. Originally, I mistook it for the show not really having a plot, but in Season 2, especially, that isn’t quite accurate.

Just like with Boston Blue, the midseason finale of Sheriff Country is one of its stronger episodes – and right on the back of an uncharacteristically weak one.

It took all season for Boston Blue to get good, only for it to reach its dramatic high point just in time for the midseason finale.

Every time Sherlock Holmes has shown up in Watson Season 2, it has heralded bad news.

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.

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.

Taylor Sheridan has always had an odd fascination with having his plots turn on totally random events. Sometimes it's an errant bear -- between Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown, events have been bear-related surprisingly often -- and sometimes it's a meth lab or a traffic pileup or whatever.
