Episode 3 of The Night Agent Season 2 feels like a table-setting installment, an hour dedicated to putting all the right pieces in position and...

While some of the complexity, mystery, and even urgency of The Night Agent’s first season was a little absent in its Season 2 premiere, Episode...

Things have changed in The Night Agent Season 2, but they’re still fundamentally the same. That’s the implication of Episode 1, anyway. By the end...

Alarum feels like the kind of bargain bin actioner you’d pick up by chance in the halcyon days of video rentals when a couple of...

You have to wonder how much money Cameron Diaz was offered for Back in Action. It was evidently enough to coax her out of retirement,...

Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne provides a surprisingly tender ending that in many ways avoids a lot of the more potentially pesky narrative decisions. Everyone...

Netflix’s brutal Western American Primeval spins a complex web around the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a real event that occurred in the Utah Territory in 1857....

Pretty much everyone dies in American Primeval, which is to be expected. Nobody thought a happy ending was coming to any of these characters, even...
