Let’s be frank here – some, most, or indeed all of the ending of Vladimir could very well be a lie. It’s a possibility, is...

Vladimir might be the best TV show of the year thus far. It’s a big claim, that, but I think it’s quite defensible. Truly adult...

Shrinking isn't about death, per se, but it's certainly rather attached to the idea. It occurs to me that we're in Season 3 now, and none of the core cast has been killed off in any way, even the ones that have come close a few times, so perhaps the fake-out trick is wearing thin.

I’ve long held a personal theory that DMV is much better when it isn’t focusing on Colette, and Episode 11, “Power Shift”, makes me feel...

I can’t say that Arthur Tobin’s film about — all together now — The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will be any good, but in...

At first blush, DTF St. Louis is a show you've seen before. The HBO murder-mystery is about three people circling the drain of a sexless middle age, and one of them turns up dead, casting the other two in suspicion. It isn't the most unique of elevator pitches.

If nothing else, American Classic has a love for theatre in its very bones. It’s probably worth pointing this out, since so many shows are about things only cursorily, as a way to excuse the character-driven story really being told. At least in its two-part premiere (Episodes 1 and 2 of the eight-part MGM+ series dropped together), American Classic is the exact opposite.

Let me just get it out of the way: However you want to split hairs regarding whether Scrubs (2026) is Season 8, 9, or 10 of the original series, or whether it’s a completely new thing entirely – which, according to IMDb at least, is the case – there’s only one thing that really matters. Does ABC’s reboot recapture the tone of the show?

I love Shrinking more than just about anyone, but I think it’s fair to say that Season 3 was threatening to fall into a bit of a...

I mentioned this briefly when I wrote about the premiere, but any issues of premise, character development, or originality aside, The Fall and Rise of...

DMV has been off the air for a long while, and Episode 10 feels less like a triumphant return than a reminder that this show...

Among all the low-hanging comedic fruits, religion sits somewhere near the top. And you can understand why. So many people take religion so seriously — like, live...

Some shows are designed to push boundaries, to reinvent longstanding ideas about genre and form. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins isn’t one of them.

Paul has been talking about The Field since the start of this season, but he probably never expected to find the solutions to his own...

I don’t know how long you need to do something to be considered the “queen” of it, but Sommore is apparently the queen of comedy,...

Tyler Perry’s Joe’s College Road Trip – to give it its full, self-aggrandising title – is not your average Madea movie. For one thing, Madea...

There's a fine line between happiness and crippling trauma. It's a line that Shrinking has tiptoed along beautifully since the beginning, and never more so than in Season 3, which has an inescapable spectre looming over it that it won't allow us to forget.

I’ll be the first to admit that Shrinking Season 3 started so well that it’s basically impossible for the remaining episodes to consistently hit those heights.

When I first heard tell of a straight-to-streaming action movie starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, I feared the worst. And it’s on Prime Video,...

Wonder Man is proudly disconnected from the broader MCU, but make no mistake about it – this is set in the same universe as the...
