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...

Some shows are designed to push boundaries, to reinvent longstanding ideas about genre and form. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins isn’t one of them.

Paul has been talking about The Field since the start of this season, but he probably never expected to find the solutions to his own...

I don’t know how long you need to do something to be considered the “queen” of it, but Sommore is apparently the queen of comedy,...

Tyler Perry’s Joe’s College Road Trip – to give it its full, self-aggrandising title – is not your average Madea movie. For one thing, Madea...

There's a fine line between happiness and crippling trauma. It's a line that Shrinking has tiptoed along beautifully since the beginning, and never more so than in Season 3, which has an inescapable spectre looming over it that it won't allow us to forget.

I’ll be the first to admit that Shrinking Season 3 started so well that it’s basically impossible for the remaining episodes to consistently hit those heights.

When I first heard tell of a straight-to-streaming action movie starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, I feared the worst. And it’s on Prime Video,...

Wonder Man is proudly disconnected from the broader MCU, but make no mistake about it – this is set in the same universe as the...

As if it wasn’t obvious that Wonder Man isn’t your typical MCU show, the ending should make it pretty clear. No mid-credits tease? No proper...

What if a Marvel series had none of the things that people have come to expect from a Marvel series? Before Wonder Man, that didn’t...

It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.

Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.

Over the years, I've said some pretty hyperbolic stuff about Shrinking. Fair warning: That isn't going to change in Season 3.

You know where you stand with a Mike Epps special. He has been around for long enough that you know what to expect, and he...

High Potential is an above-average procedural at the best of times, and that has been evident pretty regularly in Season 2. But only rarely does it come together in quite the way it does in Episode 10, “Grounded”, a really excellent hour that neatly embodies all of the interesting and unique things this show does well.

Good news! I think Episode 2 of Best Medicine is definitely better than the premiere, which is a good sign.

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 has returned to its standard case-of-the-week procedural format, with most of Episode 9, “Under the Rug”, proceeding as if the events of the solid second half of the art thief two-parter never happened.

Palm Royale is good, there’s no doubt about that. Season 2 has had its misteps, but for the most part, it has been a consistently entertaining...
