In many ways, Episode 5 of Rooster is the one I was waiting for. I could see the dramedy’s potential from the very beginning, but...

In many ways, “The Denny’s Plan” is the weakest episode of DTF St. Louis thus far. That sounds like more of a criticism than it’s intended to...

I think it’s worth pointing out that Shrinking has already been renewed for a fourth season. I expected this to go without saying, but Season 3 seems...

It’s hard to talk about a mockumentary – even though The Comeback has stopped being one in Season 3, at least for long stretches –...

I keep expecting to like Rooster more than I do. Luckily, Episode 4 reassured me that it does seem to be going somewhere, even if I don’t...

One of the broader arcs in Episode 5 of DTF St. Louis is Detective Homer realising that the murder of Floyd Smernitch isn’t as open-and-shut as he...

I wouldn’t say that Episode 6 of American Classic is leaps and bounds better than all the previous ones. It has the same blend of arch comedy...

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a consistently surprising movie that arguably over-delivers on all of its promises. One of the most exciting...

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is the rare movie that is better in practice than it is on paper. Between the fussy title...

Maybe it’s just me, but a Pixar movie release doesn’t seem as big of a deal as it once did. Hoppers is simultaneously validating (nobody...

Even at its worst, Shrinking is still better than most dramedies... ever, really, which is pretty high praise. Season 3 has already threatened to fall into a bit of a holding pattern once or twice, and it does so again for most of Episode 9, which is titled "Daddy Issues" because it finally finds Jimmy's dad, Randy, sticking around for a full episode.

At first blush, “Dr. Watson’s Dad” is a gimmick episode. It takes the usual format of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and reworks...

Thus far, Rooster has been much more of a comedy than a drama. The elusive balance that really characterises great Bill Lawrence shows like Ted Lasso and Shrinking is conspicuously absent...

It’s a testament to how good DTF St. Louis is that the cold open of Episode 4, rather drily titled “Missouri Mutual Life & Health Insurance Company”,...

Given that The Comeback has always been a show with an eerie soothsaying quality about it, it’s really no surprise that Season 3 – which...

Richard Bean’s vision of his version of Our Town may have found a financier in American Classic, but he discovers a bigger problem in Episode 5. Casting the...

Hey, I liked this one! American Classic is always going to feel like something of an acquired taste given its esoteric essential nature, but Episode...

It’s a testament to how consistently well-written the characters in Shrinking are that the broad sweep of “Depression Diet” is obvious, even when the episode...

I’ve seen some mixed opinions on Episode 5 of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, so let me just throw mine into the mix...

“Test Drive” might be the best episode of DMV yet. It’s a close-run thing, granted, largely because most of these instalments are of roughly equivalent...
