Episode 4 of Dark Matter is emblematic of everything I really don’t like about this show. There’s so much potential here, and “The Corridor” shows...

If Episode 6 of The Sympathizer has a point, it’s that being a spy is a lot of work. The logistics are a nightmare. Once...

There are several levels on which The Atypical Family doesn’t work. It’s an oddly structured and paced show that sometimes seems to be making things...
