Crime

The morning after the night before is never easy. If you're a recovering drug addict who just had a few bumps of Class A narcotics, and if your friendship with your new bestie is liable to get her killed by her dangerous mobster boyfriend, the morning after is a whole new nightmare.

As someone who watches a lot of film and TV, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of undercover work. What I’m primarily interested in...

There’s a longstanding joke about how easily men make friends, but The Asset holds that the same is true for women. As it turns out, if your...

Who’s the best person to go undercover in a drug-smuggling syndicate? According to Episode 1 of Netflix’s The Asset, it’s a traumatized woman with no experience...

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...

You know Mayor of Kingstown is good, since its Season 4 premiere is riveting despite being, for most of its runtime, about one character bursting into the office of another character and having a passive-aggressive argument.

It’s hard not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston Blue. They’re pretty different shows on the face of it, sure, but are they really?

My biggest question about Boston Blue is when things are going to start going wrong.

Every week, I make a joke about how many murders can happen in a small town before they stop being noteworthy, so I feel fairly vindicated by “Strangers Among Us.”

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

Halfway between the continuation of Blue Bloods and the introduction of a completely new show, the premiere of Boston Blue has that classic “same but different” quality you probably expect from a spin-off to a beloved procedural.

The hook of Sheriff Country is that it’s about a sheriff for whom the law is the least of her problems.

There are few things more satisfying than a legal drama that lets the good guys win. In the case of The Rainmaker, I don’t use...

The Perfect Neighbor is an engaging and quite uniquely constructed true-crime documentary that, at about the midpoint, morphs into one of the most harrowing films...

Most people, I suspect, watch Murder in a Small Town for the murders.

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.

Look, nobody, least of all me, thought that Everybody Loves Me When I’m Dead was going to have a happy ending. But I didn’t expect...

There’s no such thing as a victimless crime, which seems to be the underlying point of Netflix’s demented, bleak, hyper-violent Thai thriller Everybody Loves Me...
