As much as I can get behind the idea of new Nanno’s entire character arc seemingly being that she’s just mad at influencers, it does...

You can say a lot of things about the Duffer Brothers’ latest Netflix project, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, but you can’t say...

With all the cache that the Duffer brothers have built up after the success of Stranger Things – a somewhat controversial ending notwithstanding – you...

I haven’t exactly been complimentary of the first couple of episodes of Girl from Nowhere: The Reset, but after Episode 3, I wish we could go...

Mark Normand has always been an equal opportunity offender, someone whose material runs the whole gamut of hot-button topics, racial stereotypes, and gender cliches, with...

Nope, still not convinced. Something still feels off. Girl from Nowhere: The Reset doesn’t feel as discordant in Episode 2 as it perhaps did in the premiere, which was a bit performatively “new” to live up to the title and draw attention to the casting change, but it isn’t like “Panty” has a great deal to offer on its own terms.

Characteristically for a show like That Night, which takes an unusual approach to what is ostensibly a crime thriller all throughout its runtime, its ending...

You shouldn’t be too complacent with That Night, which at first blush looks a lot like a thousand other Netflix crime thrillers. The Spanish ones...

How could I possibly put into words the predictable, almost hypnotic rhythm of Virgin River? Don’t be misled – I’m not saying the show is...

After quite a long wait, One Piece Season 2 has finally arrived on Netflix to pretty glowing acclaim. Balancing the brazen weirdness of the manga...

Well, goodness. That’s how you do a finale. The climax of One Piece Season 2 had just about everything you’d want in an ending, from...

Only one episode ago, I was saying that One Piece Season 2 utilising flashbacks was something of a novelty, so Episode 7 makes me look pretty stupid, since it’s virtually all flashbacks. But who’s complaining? “Reindeer Shames” is probably the best episode of the season, a truly lovely hour of storytelling and impressive special effects that is both wrenchingly sad and powerfully hopeful.

It occurred to me during Episode 6 of One Piece Season 2 that this is the rare show that doesn’t overindulge in flashbacks. Not that flashbacks are inherently a bad thing, obviously, especially not when something like Paradise exists. But this show’s unwillingness to rely on them is especially apparent here, since “Nami Deerest” uses them quite a lot, and it ends up feeling like a bit of a welcome novelty.

Now, this is more like. After basically sacrificing the previous episode to set up this one, One Piece Season 2 delivers pretty well on the...

The weakest hour of One Piece Season 2 thus far, Episode 4 isn’t bad, by any means, but it’s the first chapter to feel like...

The great novelty of One Piece is that it’s a show of profound, fantastical imagination, all stretchy arms and double cigars and guns in powdered...

One Piece was one of Netflix’s better original offerings, despite nobody really expecting it to effectively adapt Oda Eiichiro’s extremely popular – and thoroughly bonkers...
