Comedy

Leanne Morgan is so southern that it can sometimes feel like a joke in itself, like someone doing a very exaggerated impression that, if it...

It is highly probable that I am so far removed from the target demographic of an HBO comedy about single twenty-something Californian girls – and guys! – trying to make it in L.A., that any opinion I may or may not have on the subject is utterly worthless.

After what was pretty unmistakably a Halloween special in disguise, imagine my delight when the cold open of The Chair Company Episode 4 suggested we were doing a Christmas special this week instead.

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.

A Christmas movie releasing on the first day of November is really pushing it. It’s the film equivalent of those people who put their trees...

I’ve always maintained that High Potential works better when it legitimately challenges Morgan.

It wouldn't be hard to improve on the latest episode of Loot Season 3, a deeply lazy grab-bag of semi-offensive cliches about England that didn't have much of a point beyond Molly trying to repair her floundering reputation.

And just like that — this show should have more than six episodes per season, shouldn’t it? — we’ve reached the end. Again. Slow Horses is consistently...

DMV can get away with a lot because it's genuinely funny more often than it isn't.

I’ve been a fan of Chad Powers since the beginning, but I’m quite happy to admit that the one thing it hasn’t been is unconventional. A hodgepodge...

There’s a thing about jump scares where they almost never work because savvy viewers have come to expect them.

Now we’re talking. I did say that Tulsa King felt as if it was finding some first-season form, and that’s very much the takeaway from...

I’m not sure I’d consider the climax of Gen V Season 2 to be a “good” ending in the traditional sense of the term. Sure,...

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

I don't know if someone at Apple TV+ is trying to subtly tell us something, but it's a bit of a coincidence that two very different shows are both releasing episodes revolving around AI on the same day.

"Circus" is a very good episode of Slow Horses, in all the ways we've come to expect. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, effectively tense in others, and moves along at a real clip.

This is perhaps a controversial thing to say, but having children tends to ruin comedians. This is not a unique phenomenon, nor is it a...

DMV turns up the heat in Episode 2, both literally and otherwise. "Stay in Your Lane" is a significantly more chaotic episode than the premiere was.

Episode 5 of Chad Powers begins with two back-to-back moments of excruciatingly awkward cringe comedy, but it ends with serious, unexpected character drama, and that's probably Hulu's comedy in a nutshell.

All the comedy in The Chair Company lives in the space between how other people see Ron Trosper and what he’s actually like.
