Most of Slow Horses Season 5, Episode 3 takes place in two rooms. One of them is a dingy basement at Regent's Park, where Roddy Ho has been taken for interrogation by Lady Di herself.

We’ve got a lot to thank Shane Gillis for, not least the career of Shane Gillis, but of all his contributions to comedy, the mainstream...

My worry for Chad Powers is that it's a better, smarter show than its humour sometimes suggests.

I think I know who Cipher is, or at least who he’s a puppet of. The mysterious new dean of God U has been a...

Steve is named after Cillian Murphy’s character, a spiralling reform college headteacher who’s in the midst of a substance abuse-accelerated mental breakdown. The movie isn’t...

It might have taken ages for Peacemaker Season 2 to finally get good, but now that the ball’s rolling, it has quickly generated enough speed to carry right through into the finale.

You can’t keep a good Supe down, or so the saying that I’ve just made up goes, and it’s similarly difficult to keep them locked up, too.

We all know a Roddy Ho, and we all went to kill him, so you can understand why the first order of business in Slow Horses Season 5 has been to determine whether Roddy’s attempted assassination is part of some wider scheme.

I can’t help but think that Sylvia and Will aren’t very good for each other. The point of Platonic is supposed to be the opposite, even though...

I can totally see why someone might not like Chad Powers, the Hulu comedy co-created by Glen Powell and Loki’s Michael Waldron that relies on a latex mask and a bad wig for a good percentage of its laughs.

I’ve been waiting ages for Peacemaker Season 2 to really get going. I thought the process might be incremental, but in Episode 6, it happens all at once.

Cipher, the new dean of God U, immediately became one of the more interesting figures in Season 2 of Gen V.

It has taken almost the entirety of Season 2 for Platonic to feel worthwhile, but here we are.

Season 5 of Slow Horses is based on Mick Herron's 2018 novel London Rules, so it's arriving seven years late but right on time given the U.K.'s currently combustible political climate.

I’m a bit mixed on Cristela Alonzo. I don’t find her that funny, aside from the odd well-observed throwaway punchline that tends to punctuate longer...

Peacemaker has spent most of Season 2 in the grip of a holding pattern, one that is very funny and silly in the moment but has largely only achieved reiterating its clutch of underlying character ideas (you’ll notice that there’s no real overarching plot or villain this season).

Prime Video’s spin-off from The Boys returns for Season 2 with several pretty important mandates.

The obvious joke is that I'd rather read Charlie's Brett Coyote legal thriller than watch any more Platonic.

The pacing of Peacemaker Season 2 is a little weird, right? Every episode seems like filler, setting up the next key moment, which never seems to arrive when you think it will.

Sometimes, even when a show isn't at its best, it can still be pretty good. Platonic has always been like that, which is why it's sometimes difficult to talk about.
