And just like that — this show should have more than six episodes per season, shouldn’t it? — we’ve reached the end. Again. Slow Horses is consistently...

DMV can get away with a lot because it's genuinely funny more often than it isn't.

I’ve been a fan of Chad Powers since the beginning, but I’m quite happy to admit that the one thing it hasn’t been is unconventional. A hodgepodge...

There’s a thing about jump scares where they almost never work because savvy viewers have come to expect them.

Now we’re talking. I did say that Tulsa King felt as if it was finding some first-season form, and that’s very much the takeaway from...

I’m not sure I’d consider the climax of Gen V Season 2 to be a “good” ending in the traditional sense of the term. Sure,...

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

I don't know if someone at Apple TV+ is trying to subtly tell us something, but it's a bit of a coincidence that two very different shows are both releasing episodes revolving around AI on the same day.

"Circus" is a very good episode of Slow Horses, in all the ways we've come to expect. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, effectively tense in others, and moves along at a real clip.

This is perhaps a controversial thing to say, but having children tends to ruin comedians. This is not a unique phenomenon, nor is it a...

DMV turns up the heat in Episode 2, both literally and otherwise. "Stay in Your Lane" is a significantly more chaotic episode than the premiere was.

Episode 5 of Chad Powers begins with two back-to-back moments of excruciatingly awkward cringe comedy, but it ends with serious, unexpected character drama, and that's probably Hulu's comedy in a nutshell.

All the comedy in The Chair Company lives in the space between how other people see Ron Trosper and what he’s actually like.

Good News (2025) opens with a disclaimer that, while the story is based on real events, most of it is entirely fictional. And this largely...

It takes some real stones to pitch a movie like Good News (2025). Sure, retellings of vital historical events are ten-a-penny, so the idea of...

Not to say I told you so, but, well, I told you so. It isn’t like Gen V Season 2 had been especially subtle about what was really going on with Cipher and Thomas Godolkin, but it’s nice that Episode 7 clarifies it – and with immediately chilling effect.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.

The thing about Loot, which remains as true in Season 3 as it was in the previous two, is that it’s funny enough to not really need much of a plot.

Slow Horses is a very smart show about people who're indescribably stupid or much cleverer than they look.

DMV seems built on the question of what a single-camera workplace sitcom looks like when everyone hates the workplace.
