Comedy

Truth being told, I don't know what people don't like about Chad Powers. As far as comedies go, it does more or less everything right.

The clue is in the name, sometimes. Even if you didn’t know that HBO’s The Chair Company comes from I Think You Should Leave’s Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, the simple fact that it’s called The Chair Company should be a bit of a giveaway that it’s slightly off-kilter as far as comedies go.

In many ways, the ending of Peacemaker Season 2 is exactly the opposite of what audiences have come to expect from the finale of a...

There is no way to scientifically measure this, but I reckon Maintenance Required is the most derivative romantic comedy ever made. It’s You’ve Got Mail,...

Gen V Season 2 continues to lean on more explicit cameos and connections to The Boys.

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...
