Comedy

Tom Segura has teamed up with Netflix to deliver a deranged anthology of sketch comedy that feels like The Twilight Zone had a love child...

Sometimes what people want from their entertainment is comfort and familiarity, and that definitely seems to be the kind of audience Tastefully Yours is courting, at least as far as Episode 1 is concerned.

Maybe it’s just me, but Heavenly Ever After is starting to feel like a lot. It could be the episode runtimes, granted, which stretch to almost feature-length twice a week.

Sometimes a movie exists for no better reason than to simply mind its business, and that’s very much the vibe I get from Nonnas. It’s...

The Studio is a show about Hollywood that clearly enjoys an impressive amount of access to its stars and executives, but it has rarely felt quite as insider-y as it does in Episode 8, aptly titled “The Golden Globes”.

I do wonder if Heavenly Ever After might be too mawkish for its own good. I continue to enjoy the K-Drama, don’t get me wrong, but in Episodes 5 & 6, I began to drift a little.

Is the Kool-Aid Man a Black dude? This is the question at the core of The Studio Episode 7, and it's a funny one to ask, since it raises the impossibly circuitous minefield of contemporary identity politics.

As someone who has been reiterating that Poppa and Ivy’s relationship is central to Poppa’s House for the last few months, I should theoretically like Episode 18,...

Who'd have thought it? A half-hour of Poppa's House that I genuinely enjoyed! And it only took 17 episodes for us to get here.

There’s a popular Kierkegaard quote about how life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards, and this popped into my mind during Episodes 3 & 4 of Heavenly Ever After.

The concept of heaven is in itself a cliché. Think angels playing harps on clouds, tearful reunions with your loved ones who haven’t aged a day, family pets frolicking through fields – you get the idea.

I didn’t like Episode 6 of The Studio as much as I’ve liked some of the others.

With every episode of The Studio, it finds a new way to impress. In the two-part premiere it was a very funny ensemble piece and then a tight, isolated riff on the microcosmic art of the oner.

Taking a page out of Black Mirror's playbook, Poppa's House tries to tackle a relevant subject in Episode 16. And like recent Black Mirror, it's misguided rubbish.

There's simply no reason for The Studio to be this good. If it were just a satire on the movie industry, it'd be funny and fine, and nobody would be upset about that.

How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) already had a pretty decent ending in Season 3, which puts the Season 4 finale in a difficult position,...

Let me start by saying that How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) didn’t need to return for Season 4. The ending of Season 3 was pretty conclusive...

The White Lotus doesn’t do happy endings, which is by design. Each season begins with the promise of death and ends by delivering it.

Everyone knew that The Potato Lab would have a happy ending. Really, it deserved one, and Episode 12 provides it with relish. It wasn’t always...

It was obvious that Episode 11 of The Potato Lab was going to play out like this. The signs were there. You can’t have a romantic enemies-to-lovers K-Drama without the dreaded breakup period, where crossed wires lead to an absence that makes the heart grow ever fonder.
