Who’s the best person to go undercover in a drug-smuggling syndicate? According to Episode 1 of Netflix’s The Asset, it’s a traumatized woman with no experience...

There’s a peculiar predicament that Typhoon Family finds itself in, I think as a consequence of being backdropped by a very real financial crisis.

Talamasca: The Secret Order kind of relies on Guy Anatole being smart, which is a bit of a problem, since Episode 2 reveals him to be a total idiot.

The smartest decision that Talamasca: The Secret Order makes is presenting itself as a straight-up spy thriller.

One of the more intriguing parts of the legend of Billy the Kid -- part of the reason, I suspect, why stories about his life have always been so popular -- is that his death has a conspiratorial quality to it.

Now we’re talking. I did say that Tulsa King felt as if it was finding some first-season form, and that’s very much the takeaway from...

You know Mayor of Kingstown is good, since its Season 4 premiere is riveting despite being, for most of its runtime, about one character bursting into the office of another character and having a passive-aggressive argument.

It’s hard not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston Blue. They’re pretty different shows on the face of it, sure, but are they really?

My biggest question about Boston Blue is when things are going to start going wrong.

The Last Frontier isn't a procedural, but it feels like one in Episode 4, which isn't intended as a criticism.

Every week, I make a joke about how many murders can happen in a small town before they stop being noteworthy, so I feel fairly vindicated by “Strangers Among Us.”

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

We're just past the halfway point of The Morning Show Season 4, and we've already had two major departures from UBN.

I don't know if someone at Apple TV+ is trying to subtly tell us something, but it's a bit of a coincidence that two very different shows are both releasing episodes revolving around AI on the same day.

"Circus" is a very good episode of Slow Horses, in all the ways we've come to expect. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, effectively tense in others, and moves along at a real clip.

DMV turns up the heat in Episode 2, both literally and otherwise. "Stay in Your Lane" is a significantly more chaotic episode than the premiere was.

Episode 5 of Chad Powers begins with two back-to-back moments of excruciatingly awkward cringe comedy, but it ends with serious, unexpected character drama, and that's probably Hulu's comedy in a nutshell.

It occurred to me during "Once Upon A Time In America" that Brilliant Minds has spent so much time building mystery in Season 2 that it has kind of skimped on the emotion a little.
