After a pretty action-packed outing that finally saw Spartacus: House of Ashur return to proper gladiatorial combat, Episode 6 might feel a bit restrained in comparison.

Ending a series isn’t an easy thing to do, and ending a series like Stranger Things is almost impossible. Originally conceived as a one-off, the...

I’ve realised against my better – and indeed professional – judgement that I’ll forgive Stranger Things for just about anything, so long as the core...

This is it. The last big brainstorming session before the bumper finale. The last chance for every character to get a few things off their...

Let me be the one to say it. Given how long it has taken to bring Stranger Things Season 5 to life, and how much money has been spent on the endeavour, there is absolutely zero justification for Episode 6 looking as bad as it does.

The first volume of Stranger Things Season 5 ended in such a big, satisfying, and social media-savvy way that it was basically impossible that Episode 5, the premiere of Volume 2, was going to live up to it.

It might have taken until Episode 5 for Spartacus: House of Ashur to properly return to the sands of the arena, but "Goddess of Death" was worth the wait.

The Great Flood starts out as a very compelling disaster movie, but it almost becomes a disaster of a movie on the back of its...

A lot has been made of Ashur's suitability as the protagonist of a Spartacus spin-off, but as of Episode 4 of Spartacus: House of Ashur, I'm starting to see the logic.

The ironic thing about a title like "Unworthy" is that it's a reminder that pretty much nobody in Spartacus: House of Ashur is all that worthy of the positions they find themselves in.

Spartacus: House of Ashur is a story about second chances. For one thing, it’s a return to Starz’s beloved, ridiculous historical epic, one of the shows on which the platform built its reputation for blood by the bucket-load and boobs by the barrel.

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...

Stranger Things is synonymous with Netflix. It has been the crown jewel in the streamer’s offerings since it debuted in 2016, and has surely turned...

Let me be the first to say that I’m no fan of Netflix releasing its big shows in volumes. Splitting up a season kills a...

Stranger Things Season 5 hasn’t quite felt like Stranger Things of old yet, something remedied by Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap”.

You could make a case, if you were so inclined, that the Season 5 premiere of Stranger Things felt every second of its runtime because it was trying a bit too hard to settle us back in.

It takes an effort to remember this now since it was roughly a lifetime ago, but the abduction of Will Byers in Season 1 of Stranger Things remains the most important component of the narrative.

Mileage may vary, but I think it has taken until Episode 9 for The Last Frontier to figure out the mode it operates best in.

If the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3 didn’t quite feel like a penultimate episode, that’s counterbalanced somewhat by the fact that the ending really does...

"L'air Perdu" is the last thing that The Last Frontier needed so close to its finale.
