I didn’t expect the most meaningful sentiment of Rooster thus far to come from Walt, of all people, but here we are in Episode 7, three half-hours removed from the finale, and the hothouse has become a source of surprising pathos.

If you were a bit dismayed about the relative lack of action in the previous instalment of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, Episode 6, “Night of the Hunted”, has you more than covered. It's almost like it’s making amends, which is weird since the lower-key drama was solid and necessary, but the impressive lightsaber action that bookends the episode is difficult to argue with, especially now we’re so much more invested in the characters.

Based on the title alone, it isn’t difficult to guess what Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is about. But one of the more surprising revelations of the Disney+ series has been that Maul, as great as Sam Witwer’s take on the character might be, is probably the least interesting thing about it.

The key question that will likely define the short-term future of Euphoria is whether Sam Levinson is attempting to satirise the facile horniness of the American Dream, or if he truly believes that the most anyone can aspire to these days is sucking on a pacifier while dressed as an adult baby.

It’s kind of impressive that Coop managed to keep his side hustle a secret for the entirety of Your Friends & Neighbors’ first season, since it only took him two episodes of Season 2 to get rumbled completely.

The best joke of Your Friends & Neighbors has always been the idea of stealing from people who’re so rich that they don’t even realise they’ve been robbed.
