A while ago, I reviewed the movie Train Dreams on Netflix – don’t worry, this is going somewhere – and said that it was basically...

It takes all of Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ three-part premiere to get to the premise, which revolves around a struggling single mother starting an OnlyFans...

The secret to most Bill Lawrence shows is that you want to spend time with their characters. You like them, as you would your own...

I have a sneaking suspicion that people aren’t going to love the ending of DTF St. Louis. And I can see why, honestly. I’m about to...

I’ve always hated the naive – and, frankly, entirely incorrect – idea that characters in stories have to be “likeable” or “relatable”. There are all-time-great...

Jonathan Glatzer’s TV résumé is tough to argue with, but it’s difficult to watch his Silicon Valley satire The Audacity and not feel like the...

Since the very beginning, American Classic has had an obviously deep and abiding love of art in general and theatre specifically. This has sometimes flirted with being...

I think it’s worth pointing out that Shrinking has already been renewed for a fourth season. I expected this to go without saying, but Season 3 seems...

It’s hard to talk about a mockumentary – even though The Comeback has stopped being one in Season 3, at least for long stretches –...

I keep expecting to like Rooster more than I do. Luckily, Episode 4 reassured me that it does seem to be going somewhere, even if I don’t...

One of the broader arcs in Episode 5 of DTF St. Louis is Detective Homer realising that the murder of Floyd Smernitch isn’t as open-and-shut as he...

I wouldn’t say that Episode 6 of American Classic is leaps and bounds better than all the previous ones. It has the same blend of arch comedy...

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a consistently surprising movie that arguably over-delivers on all of its promises. One of the most exciting...

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is the rare movie that is better in practice than it is on paper. Between the fussy title...
