It took a while, but Season 3 of Tulsa King is really starting to knit together, a bit like an open wound or a broken bone.

Mayor of Kingstown has always had a simmering sense of danger to it. How can it not? It’s about a prison town perpetually at war with itself, and a man trying to “keep the peace” by shooting or headbutting anyone who annoys him.

I find myself thinking again about contradictions. Typhoon Family has its fair share.

It’s only Episode 3, and things really aren’t looking good for Mickey or Skye in Sheriff Country.

I respect Boston Blue for not turning Episode 3 into some kind of wacky Halloween special, but after moaning last week that it seems too willing to contrive happy endings for everyone, it’s kind of a double-edged sword.

You can tell a lot about a show from its title sequence. It: Welcome to Derry boasts a fun one in Episode 2, “The Thing in the Dark”, which fittingly released on Halloween on Max and will occupy its usual timeslot on HBO.

"Keep your eyes open, and your legs closed". That doesn't sound like terrible advice, does it? It's what Bra Alex says to BK at the start of "Twin Flame", which picks up from right where the previous outing left off.

It might have taken until Episode 5, but things in Bad Influencer are finally going well. Needless to say, this is worrying.

Violence begets violence, or so the saying goes, and it holds true in Bad Influencer. In the previous episode, BK witnessed a murder, and something has evidently shifted on account of that.

It took until Episode 5, but The Last Frontier has finally stopped cosplaying as a network procedural, and “Arnaq” is all the better for it....

Every boss has a boss, and Bad Influence is introducing them at an alarming rate. In the premiere, Bheki seemed like the worst of it. Then,...

This isn't a new or even particularly interesting observation, but the thing about influencing is that you only see what you're supposed to see.

An argument about whether something is real or fake is a profoundly ironic one when an influencer is involved.

The structure of The Witcher Season 4 is weird, isn't it? That's the only way I can think to describe it.

It's easy to think about the disappointingly inert previous episode as the calm before the storm in light of "Twilight of the Wolf", an all-guns-blazing, protracted action sequence that barely comes up for air.

Not to get all philosophical on anyone, but sometimes resting is the quickest way to get somewhere. But this is a difficult concept to get...

“Out of the frying pan, into the fire” comes to mind. To be fair, you could apply this idea to most of what has happened...

In my review of The Witcher Season 4, I moaned about the whole thing feeling a little weirdly siloed and disconnected, its core storylines happening in parallel...
