Well, MobLand is getting rather complicated now, isn’t it? I thought that last week’s international introductions were enough to be going on with, but Episode 8 has other ideas.

Having thought about it a bit, I’m still not sure whether Football Parents has a happy ending or not. I suppose it depends on who...

I am, for my sins, a football parent, so there’s a lot I find familiar about the Dutch Netflix comedy Football Parents. The general inability...

Murderbot is a comedy, first and foremost, and one of its key jokes is how little murder is in it, given the title.

On the one hand, Episode 7 of Your Friends & Neighbors contains by far the most significant developments yet, with the long arm of the law finally catching Coop by the scruff of his neck.

Blackjack! Murder! Revenge! All the elements you’d expect from Bet’s ending are present and correct in Episode 10, “Winner Takes All”, as well as the...

Netflix’s Bet (2025) is a live-action adaptation of an anime, itself transplanted from a manga, and at this point, I should probably mention that I...

Netflix’s often stellar sci-fi/fantasy anthology series Love, Death + Robots returns for Season 4 with another clutch of episodes, each highlighting a different style of...

Anthologies are always a mixed bag by definition, but Tim Miller and David Fincher’s Love, Death + Robots has remained remarkably consistent throughout its first three seasons...

Netflix’s American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing was a sobering exploration of the impact of domestic terrorism and America’s post-9/11 psyche, and I thought about...

It says a lot about how truly depraved two people can be that they remain at the forefront of the public consciousness decades after the...

The fact that Las Vegas is nicknamed “Sin City” should probably be a clue that hosting anything important there is a bad idea, especially if that important thing needs a lot of egoists to sell it.

Tastefully Yours has a comfort that comes from familiarity. In Episode 2, it’s largely going through the motions, opening the story up a little and shunting it forward, but not threatening to veer off in any unexpected directions.

You can always rely on a comedian, especially a relatively edgy one, to push some boundaries. Tom Segura, who’s no stranger to Netflix, does that...

Tom Segura has teamed up with Netflix to deliver a deranged anthology of sketch comedy that feels like The Twilight Zone had a love child...

Sometimes what people want from their entertainment is comfort and familiarity, and that definitely seems to be the kind of audience Tastefully Yours is courting, at least as far as Episode 1 is concerned.

It was always going to be difficult to adapt The Last of Us Part II, which is a game that relies on the fundamental expectations of video games as a medium to tell a pretty complex story about grief, revenge, and various other attendant matters, none of them particularly positive.
