There’s an old saying that suggests if you meet an arsehole in the morning, you met an arsehole; if you meet an arsehole in the...

In what continues to be a stellar example of deft writing and direction, not to mention satisfying mystery-box-style storytelling, Widow’s Bay reinvents Halloween in the same way that...

I’m forever complaining about shows and movies being too long, but it’s rare I ever moan about anything being too short. It’s basically impossible to...

My Royal Nemesis has made such a fuss about being a romantic comedy – largely a comedy above and beyond any other consideration – that...

Good news, folks – My Royal Nemesis is on a bit of an uptick in Episode 7. I’ve been critical of this recent portion of...

Even though it follows directly from the end of Tom passing out from his mushroom trip, it’s very obvious why Apple TV decided to air...

If I’m being totally honest, I can’t say that Episode 5 of Widow’s Bay, which is almost entirely a flashback to 1702 and a nascent version...

I don’t know how much pleasure would constitute the maximum amount in a show like this, but I’m willing to go out on a limb...

This is a weird statement, I’ll grant you that, but here it is anyway: The Audacity doesn’t feel like the kind of show that would...

My Royal Nemesis hits an important and inevitable milestone in Episode 6, which is to say that Se-gye and Dan-sim finally kiss. We’re not quite...

There’s a very fine line between slapstick-y comedy and outright goofy claptrap, and it was inevitable that at some point, My Royal Nemesis was going...

If I’m being completely honest, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed has been so Paula-focused thus far that I never stopped to consider Trevor’s perspective. Luckily, Episode 2, “YABA”,...

The first switcheroo of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed comes early, and it’s a good indication of the kind of show we’re getting into. These days, Apple TV has...

It’s a shame more people aren’t talking about Widow’s Bay, since it’s shaping up to be one of Apple TV’s finest original offerings. At the very...

In case it wasn’t already obvious that Margo’s Got Money Troubles was one of the better shows of the year, the ending confirms it. “Lock and...

I walked into the Netflix special Wanda Sykes: Legacy completely blind. Having never seen her stand-up work before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, although...

So, Duncan and JoAnne's partnership didn't even manage to last a single episode. I suppose that's The Audacity in a nutshell, really. Everyone is too self-interested for a proper relationship to ever germinate in the Palo Alto soil; it's just a case of playing nice long enough for the right opportunity to present itself. I'm not even sure who legally owns which company at this stage, which is probably part of the point.

Things are moving pretty quickly in My Royal Nemesis, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Se-gye and Dan-sim have gone from vague acquaintances...

One thing I’ve always wondered about The Audacity is how Duncan managed to achieve any success at all. And for what it’s worth, I think...

I’ve been a little mixed on My Royal Nemesis thus far, but Episode 3 is easily my favourite instalment yet. The first two episodes had...
