Just what is going on here? Loot has been way off the rails in Season 3, and if I’m not mistaken, it seems like its covert objective is to make us despise every single character.

In hindsight, Palm Royale delivered one of its best ever episodes last week, setting a high bar for Season 2, and it was very unlikely that Episode 3, “Maxine Solves a Murder”, was going to clear it.

It’s late November, the temperature has significantly dropped, cars are frosted and frozen in the driveway, and that can only mean one thing: Netflix is...

It would be a bit of a stretch to say that the East Hollywood DMV office has ever really felt like a team. It’s a designation that most of the employees would actively avoid in usual circumstances, but Episode 7 of the CBS sitcom, “There Is No I in DMV”, is not operating under usual circumstances.

Remember when Ryan Murphy inexplicably spent a whole hour of All’s Fair trying to make us feel sorry for Carrington Lane? That was weird, right? Then again, the whole show’s weird, so what can you do? Episode 6 wants you to forget about that anyway.

Ron did it. He finally found out what Tecca is up to. And, as predicted, Tecca are up to something.

Networking is a deliberately nebulous word, one typically used as an excuse for getting drunk with people whose company you stand to benefit from in one way or another.

Any comedian who has a sufficiently lengthy career and a certain amount of success is going to go through ups and downs. Kevin Hart has...

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...

Since DMV started, I’ve complained pretty consistently about the focus on Colette and the one-note mode the character generally operates in.

Well, Nicholas’s exile didn’t last long, did it? Ever since Loot confirmed his exit with what was by far Season 3’s best episode, it felt...

All the gonzo merits of Palm Royale are very evident in “Maxine Serves A Swerve”.

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

I’m not the type to ever be caught in the heart of a scandal – unless there’s a group of people somewhere who really care...

The Chair Company isn’t getting worse in any meaningful sense, but I think Episode 6, “Happy Birthday, a friend”, is the point where it has reached the outer limit of how much great throwaways and weird juxtapositions alone can sustain it.

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

What would Christmas be without bland festive fare? Netflix is kicking off the 2025 holiday season with the usual dross, following the usual formula, which...

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...

There was simply no way that Loot Season 3 wasn't going to experience some kind of decline in the absence of Nicholas.

Most shows require a bit of detective work when they return after some time away, but it took me longer than usual to reacclimatise to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale.
