TV

Welcome to the Gilded Age, where a lusty attraction can morph into a passionate declaration of love in just a couple of hours.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that in Episode 2, “Shot for Dots”, The Institute still has a lot of the same problems it showcased in the premiere.

I get the sense we’ll have to cut The Institute a bit of slack. There’s a compelling core story here, and Episode 1 hints at it repeatedly.

Depending on who you ask, contemporary entertainment’s sheer unwillingness to let go of a recognisable IP may or may not be killing the film, TV, and video game industries all at the same time.

To give credit where it’s due, I didn’t expect The Buccaneers to rocket through Season 2’s overarching plot the way it does in Episode 4.

I knew this already, but Stick is a nice reminder that nobody plays smug better than Timothy Olyphant.

Jurnee Smollett is very good in Episode 3 of Smoke, which I think is important to point out, since I spent most of it being disappointed that more attention wasn’t being paid to Dave.

Murderbot is a weird show. I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before, but it’s worth reiterating, since even this deep into the season – Episode 9 is the penultimate outing – I’m still not sure what works best about it.

Love is a complicated thing, and The Buccaneers is struggling to keep track of it in Season 2.

And just like that, it’s over. Feels weird, doesn’t it? Ironheart debuted with the first three episodes, and the ending arrives just a week later....

Grief isn't an emotion you feel; it's a prison you live inside. Sometimes it feels like home.
