TV

I watch TV professionally, and rarely have I ever seen an episode of television as pointless as the finale of The Last Frontier. Early on, it...

In many ways, The Abandons represents a lot of contemporary TV’s worst impulses, and this is more true of its ending than anything else. Or...

It’s no secret that Kurt Sutter parted ways with his Netflix Western The Abandons close to the end of production, citing “creative differences” that are...

Season 3 of Loot continues to be an exercise in making a once-great show as cripplingly uninteresting as possible.

Murder in a Small Town doesn’t suit the cliffhanger ending, does it?

How do you prove you didn’t kill someone who has disappeared? How do you prove that someone who has disappeared is a murderer?

The last episode of Down Cemetery Road felt like a penultimate episode, so it stands to reason that Episode 7, “Lights Go Out”, should feel like...

Just in case you were wondering whether DMV itself is aware of how annoying Colette is, Episode 8 has you covered.

I’m not the biggest fan of Watson, as anyone who has been reading these Season 2 recaps can probably tell, but I’m happy to admit...

Sorry, but what is going on here? All's Fair hasn't exactly been easy to take seriously since the beginning, but Episode 7 takes the show's blurring of drama and comedy to such an extreme that I have no real idea of whether it's finally revealing itself as an outright parody or is simply so rubbish that the distinction has become meaningless.

What do you get when you take a show about mindless excess and complete, weaponised vacuity, and then have everyone in it suddenly realise that they want to do something meaningful with their lives?

If you ever wanted concrete proof that The Chair Company is not like other shows, then look no further than its ending — if you...

I was going to start this recap by saying that things aren’t looking too good in It: Welcome to Derry, but now that I think about it, that’s only a matter of perspective.

Typhoon Family was always going to struggle with its ending. It isn’t so much a case of it being “happy” or not. It isn’t even...

Robin Hood and his Not-So-Merry Men have definitely crossed a line. They’re not just bandits now, but fully-fledged outlaws.

Can you smell that? No, it’s not hydrogen sulphide – although, this being Landman, it kind of is hydrogen sulphide – but the skeleton of a plot, and a point, both of which seem to be manifesting in Season 2 in a way that they never quite managed to do first time around.

Mayor of Kingstown continues to treat Season 4 as an exercise in how bad things can get for almost everyone involved.

We’re finally on the penultimate episode of Typhoon Family, and about midway through, I realised I’ve checked out.
