The ending of Dept. Q is all about payoff, which is perhaps just as well given how long it took us to get here. The mystery of...

The comparison to Slow Horses is unavoidable and unfortunately does Netflix’s Dept. Q no favours. An adaptation from Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit) of the...

Ladies and gentlemen, Tastefully Yours has reached the stage of any self-respecting romantic K-Drama where the giggly first-date awkwardness permeates the whole thing, which is coming a little earlier than expected after the ending of the previous episode.

There’s a kernel of a good idea in Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City, but the chances of the show committing to it are so slim as to be virtually non-existent.

It’s probably fitting that a show as mixed as Heavenly Ever After has an ending to suit, with Episodes 11 and 12 providing some answers...

The Last of Us already peaked in Season 2. It was in the penultimate episode where some minor storytelling changes improbably improved the original version.

The games are very much afoot in MobLand, and it’s beginning to seem like Harry holds many more cards than he has let on.

I’ve identified a key issue in Murderbot. To be fair, I mentioned it in my recap of the two-part premiere, and nothing has changed; it’s just twice as noticeable because Episode 3 is obviously half as long.

In Greek mythology, sirens were creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with beautiful singing and a fetching feminine top half, hiding some sort of...

"How Did We Become These People?" is, like the previous episode of Your Friends & Neighbors, something of a slow chapter.

You know when a show is released in two parts – as is the case with Tyler Perry’s Miss Governor – that the “ending” is really...

Everything Tyler Perry does is funny, usually for entirely the wrong reasons. On that level, at least, Miss Governor feels like a step in the right...

Based on everything we’ve seen from The Studio thus far, it was hard to imagine that even its ending would give Matt a break. And all throughout...

Tastefully Yours is still in that early team-building stage, as evidenced by Episode 4, which uses the tried and tested technique of a bit of competition to solidify the core dynamics.

As much as I’ll always relish the opportunity for food puns, I should start taking Tastefully Yours a bit more seriously since, as of Episode 3, it’s really starting to cohere.

There’s probably a case to be made that nine episodes into a 12-episode season is too late for a show to get good. But this is also likely underselling Heavenly Ever After, which has always been “good”, so to speak, and has mostly just failed to progress beyond that.

I’m one of those insufferable fans of The Last of Us Part II who thinks it’s a work of towering genius, and I’ve done nothing throughout these recaps but moan about all the ways in which Season 2 of the HBO adaptation has made changes to it.

Good news, those few remaining viewers who consume The Walking Dead: Dead City out of choice instead of professional obligation -- Episode 3 isn't quite as stupid as the previous installment was.
