“Spy For Sale” feels like The Agency operating at its peak. It hasn’t been a smooth ride to get to this point, and Episode 6 isn’t perfect either.

It only seems like two minutes since Juliette last ventured into the flooded bowels of Silo 17, and yet an extended high-pressure diving sequence is once again the highlight of Silo Season 2, Episode 7.

Episode 6 of Marvel’s What If…? Season 3, which teams Shang-Chi up with Kate Bishop in a Wild West setting, is my favorite of this run by quite a margin.

Right after Marvel’s What If…? Season 3 reached its lightest, silliest note, Episode 5, “What If… The Emergence Destroyed the Earth?”, flips things on their...

Episode 4, “What If… Howard the Duck Got Hitched?”, plays out like a dare to come up with the weirdest MCU premise possible and then contort it into even stranger shapes as it goes.

If I have a persistent criticism of What If…? it’s that it rarely feels “what if” enough. The limitless possibilities of a speculative anthology should make this kind of thing really easy.

What constitutes a happy ending in a crime drama? Is it the bad guys getting their comeuppance? A case being satisfyingly solved? The detective at...

Bad Sisters didn’t need Season 2, so the least it could do was end with a bit of finality so that nobody would be tempted...

Somewhat embarrassingly, I let out an audible gasp of relief at a certain point in Shrinking’s Season 2 finale that was so loud and dramatic...

Episode 2 of What If…? Season 3, “What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?”, reinvigorates that godforsaken movie and some of its concepts by pairing Agatha Harkness – very much Marvel’s flavor of the month after Agatha All Along – with Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo.

Everything that happens in Episode 6, “The High-Handed Enemy”, is in service to the kind of big-picture multi-season storytelling that HBO was doubtlessly looking for in a Duniverse project.

What if… the MCU had a baby with Godzilla and the Power Rangers? I have no idea how that would work genetically speaking, but the offspring would probably look a lot like the Season 3 premiere of Marvel’s What If…?

“All Roads Lead to a Hole” sidelines the overarching storylines for a bit to focus completely on the Cooper clan as they adapt to life on the patch.

In many ways, this double-bill is a two-part lesson in why you shouldn’t see the best in people, which is the mistake that all of the survivors in this show have been getting away with constantly.

Episode 8 proves that very capably by shaking up the mystery even further, with new twists and questions complicating what was already a deeply intriguing narrative.

Romance makes an interesting pairing with anything. You can graft a bit of kissing and canoodling onto any other genre and it morphs instantly. Some...

The Agency is a strange show, it has to be said. It was wildly off-putting initially, really improved when it cohered a bit, and here...

Now this is more like it. I was worried about Creature Commandos, I must admit, especially after it got so bogged down in simplistic political...
