I think Season 2 is making me hate Platonic a little bit. It's a weird thing to say because it remains a well-made show with a handful of very funny lines, and Rose Byrne is especially great in Episode 4, "Fore!", but I'm so, so sick of Will.

I'll level with you, readers -- I wasn't expecting half of what happens in The Winning Try Episode 7.

I’ve said this before, here and on various social media platforms, but it’s worth repeating — The Winning Try is much more than a sports drama. You...

The first part of Miss Governor — previously titled She the People, which has been annoyingly changed without explanation — ended on a rather promising note, with Antoinette,...

The first major round in the Twisted Metal tournament isn't especially interesting, which, it turns out, is by design.

Killing off major characters is often seen as a pretty cheap way of farming audience engagement.

Dogs have always been a movie-making cheat code, the easiest shortcut to making an audience laugh or cry – or both! – as necessary. The...

I get that Platonic is largely a show about college friends slowly realizing they’re not in college anymore, but by Season 2, you’d think it would have...

Jim Jefferies occupies a great place in comedy these days. Having made his name as a — all together now — “controversial” comic back when...

It wouldn't be fair to claim that The Winning Try has been unserious to this point, because it had me pretty much sobbing already, but it definitely hasn't been as serious as it is in Episode 6.

While it's ostensibly a show about rugby, The Winning Try is really a show about people. And this is becoming more and more obvious as we progress, with Episode 5 being perhaps the best example of it.

Drivers, start your engines -- the Twisted Metal tournament is officially underway.

Tortured vehicular metaphors being my speciality, I'm happy to say that Twisted Metal pumps the brakes a little here in "LZGTBZY".

Almost everything you need to know about The Pickup is that it has Eddie Murphy, one of comedy’s all-time icons, play the straight man to...

Let me just start by saying that I’m not a fan of reviewing half a season either. But if Netflix is going to be adamant...

As much as I despise Netflix’s new approach of releasing new seasons of key IP in several parts, Wednesday Season 2 is a good example of...

Allow me to start with something I neglected to mention in the previous episode, since it becomes important here in Episode 3, "Call of the Woe".

Wednesday Season 2 started as it means to go on, capably proved by Episode 2, which makes it clear that things aren't going to get any simpler as we go.

Students invariably spend the summer holidays getting into mischief, so on that level, at least, Wednesday Addams is pretty normal.

Episode 2 of Platonic Season 2 interestingly takes an almost opposite approach to its predecessor, which focused primarily on how Will's self-sabotage was threatening to upend his cozy life with Jenna through the medium of his relationship with Sylvia.
