One Piece was one of Netflix’s better original offerings, despite nobody really expecting it to effectively adapt Oda Eiichiro’s extremely popular – and thoroughly bonkers...

There’s nothing inherently amusing about being swallowed by a gigantic sea creature, but it’s probably a testament to the quality of One Piece that it...

Here’s an interesting thought. The first season of Netflix’s live-action One Piece adaptation only adapted the first major story arc and completely left out a...

A slightly concerning thing occurred to me in “Save the Cat”, the fourth episode of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Reggie might be the...

Rooster was always going to be good. A dramedy from the creators of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Scrubs, starring Steve Carell as a bumbling author intervening in the spiralling love life of his daughter and her cheating husband against the backdrop of a liberal arts college campus? Sometimes these things just write themselves.

DTF St. Louis is that rarest of things, a mystery that is genuinely mysterious. I have no idea who killed Floyd, or why, or what his prior career as a nude male model or his curved penis might have to do with any of it. And that's just the way I like it.

Money is at the forefront of American Classic Episode 3, chiefly in the context of how much of it Richard will need to spend to bring his version of Our Town to life.

The medical drama landscape has changed so much since Scrubs torpedoed its own reputation by trying to carry on past its sell-by date that it’s easy to imagine there’s no place for it in 2026. But if this reboot is proving anything, it’s that we perhaps shouldn’t be so hasty.

Let’s be frank here – some, most, or indeed all of the ending of Vladimir could very well be a lie. It’s a possibility, is...

Vladimir might be the best TV show of the year thus far. It’s a big claim, that, but I think it’s quite defensible. Truly adult...

Shrinking isn't about death, per se, but it's certainly rather attached to the idea. It occurs to me that we're in Season 3 now, and none of the core cast has been killed off in any way, even the ones that have come close a few times, so perhaps the fake-out trick is wearing thin.

I’ve long held a personal theory that DMV is much better when it isn’t focusing on Colette, and Episode 11, “Power Shift”, makes me feel...

I can’t say that Arthur Tobin’s film about — all together now — The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will be any good, but in...

At first blush, DTF St. Louis is a show you've seen before. The HBO murder-mystery is about three people circling the drain of a sexless middle age, and one of them turns up dead, casting the other two in suspicion. It isn't the most unique of elevator pitches.

If nothing else, American Classic has a love for theatre in its very bones. It’s probably worth pointing this out, since so many shows are about things only cursorily, as a way to excuse the character-driven story really being told. At least in its two-part premiere (Episodes 1 and 2 of the eight-part MGM+ series dropped together), American Classic is the exact opposite.

Let me just get it out of the way: However you want to split hairs regarding whether Scrubs (2026) is Season 8, 9, or 10 of the original series, or whether it’s a completely new thing entirely – which, according to IMDb at least, is the case – there’s only one thing that really matters. Does ABC’s reboot recapture the tone of the show?

I love Shrinking more than just about anyone, but I think it’s fair to say that Season 3 was threatening to fall into a bit of a...

I mentioned this briefly when I wrote about the premiere, but any issues of premise, character development, or originality aside, The Fall and Rise of...

DMV has been off the air for a long while, and Episode 10 feels less like a triumphant return than a reminder that this show...

Among all the low-hanging comedic fruits, religion sits somewhere near the top. And you can understand why. So many people take religion so seriously — like, live...
