Episode 8 of Landman, “Clumsy, This Life”, is one of those outings in which very little of note happens but the show mysteriously doesn’t suffer as a result.

I must confess to being extremely impressed by the Season 3 finale of Marvel’s What If…?. Given the relatively small canvas it had – it...

Things are heating up in When the Phone Rings, aren’t they? And once again it seems to be Hee-joo in the firing line more than anyone, right after ending the previous episode in quite the predicament.

The first half of Season 3’s two-part finale, ends up being really great despite being by far the most serialized that the show has been thus far.

You can feel When the Phone Rings approaching the end in Episode 9. We’ve reached the point where certain key questions start being answered while some mysteries linger unsolved.

“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.
