There's something just a little bit off about Season 3 of Reacher, and now we've returned to the present day after an episode spent almost entirely in the past, I think I've figured out what.

Let me just be clear out of the gate. Yes, they did it. Daredevil: Born Again is like the Netflix shows, which is worth mentioning...

Paradise is much more than a murder mystery, but its ending is very much in the style of the classics. Season 1, Episode 8, “The Man...

The Hunting Party unfortunately ends its run of improving form in Episode 5. "Roy Barber" isn't a bad episode, by any means, but it is one that seems to miss the point of NBC's high-concept procedural.

I’ve been thinking about Persuader a lot. That’s the book that Reacher Season 3 is based on, the seventh in Lee Child’s series and one that nobody really talks about.

This is a big statement, but Episode 7 of Paradise is probably going to end up being the best hour of television of 2025.

I could still use more of The Pit, as a setting and a concept, but I think we're getting there to a certain extent, and in the meantime, there's enough interesting stuff going on to hold the audience's attention.

Reacher is back, and mostly unchanged, at least as far as the premiere of Season 3 goes. Is this a bad thing? No, not at all.

The way Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books work is by never changing under any circumstances. They’re modern riffs on the old-school story of a noble...

There’s a lot going on in Episodes 9 & 10 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which is to be expected. “Hero or Menace” and “If...

On balance, Episode 3 of The Hunting Party is the best one yet, in large part because it seems to understand that everything involving the Pit and its secrets is significantly more interesting than the actual case-of-the-week plotting.

At first glance, Paradise becomes a very different show in Episode 6, “You Asked for Miracles”. This is the first time Xavier – or anyone, for that matter – has been able to successfully turn the tables on Sinatra.

Ending a show is no easy feat, and ending a beloved, long-running show is harder still. It brings me enormous pleasure to report, then, that Cobra...

The final episodes of Cobra Kai Season 6 have been surprisingly light on karate, but Episode 14, "Strike Last", makes up for that tenfold with not one but two bouts to determine the male and female champions of the Sekai Taikai.

It was always a double-edged sword bringing the original cast of The Karate Kid back for Cobra Kai. Sure, it makes a lot of sense, but these weren't exactly award-winners at the time, and you can't say their careers took off wildly between the late '80s and the show's debut in 2018.

Everything's coming full circle in Cobra Kai Season 6. The Sekai Taikai is coming to the Valley.

Things are getting serious in Cobra Kai, or at least as serious as they ever get. Season 6 is, lest we forget, the show’s swansong, and...

The classic line that has always summed up Peter Parker’s life is reworked in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, but Episodes 6, 7, and 8 nonetheless...

Is anybody there? Has the gap between the decent premiere of The Hunting Party and Episode 2, “Clayton Jessup”, been so needlessly big that everybody has forgotten this show exists?

Netflix’s animated spin-off The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is based on one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s most beloved short stories, “A Little Sacrifice”, from the...
