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.

“Dead Weight” is the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3, but it doesn’t feel like it.

In many ways, “Change of Time” is the most significant episode of The Last Frontier thus far. It’s the one with the big reveal about Frank’s past, including the meaning behind the gun he’s keeping hidden in that copy of Walter Coates’s Alaska.

Nowhere are the intentions of Last Samurai Standing – Netflix’s fusion of Squid Game and Shogun – clearer than in its ending, which completely abandons...

It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...

Having spent over a decade as an entertainment critic, one of the things I have realised is that I have deeply unsophisticated taste. Ordinarily, a...

I was fully prepared to declare the “controversy” around Prime Video’s Bat-Fam utterly ridiculous, and a complete overreaction by so-called fans with nothing better to...

And just like that, Montague Distilleries is once again open for business, thanks to Dwight’s slick power play to secure the loyalty of Attorney General...

The Last Frontier is unashamedly a throwback to uncomplicated, slightly conspiratorial action thrillers of the ’90s, and I love that about it. Or, at least, I’d...

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.

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....
