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...

The ironic thing about a title like "Unworthy" is that it's a reminder that pretty much nobody in Spartacus: House of Ashur is all that worthy of the positions they find themselves in.

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.

You can describe Palm Royale as many things, but romantic isn’t one of them. There are lots of romances, sure, but they’re always silly, or scandalous, or transactional, which has been as true in Season 2 as it was in the first outing.

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.

Spartacus: House of Ashur is a story about second chances. For one thing, it’s a return to Starz’s beloved, ridiculous historical epic, one of the shows on which the platform built its reputation for blood by the bucket-load and boobs by the barrel.

When you think of Robin Hood, you think of arrows and bags of gold and tights. I do, anyway.

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.

The old chess metaphor is pretty played out, but it's by far the most appropriate one to describe what's happening in Mayor of Kingstown Season 4.
