Crime

The premiere wasn't a fluke. Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection, aptly titled "Backseat Driver", feels like a return to the franchise of old with a tight focus on Dexter himself as he works to claim another victim.

I’m not going to lie to you, I had written Smoke off. The previous episode was so deeply awful and misguided that it seemed incomprehensible the show...

Credit where it’s due – Untamed hasn’t exactly been a remarkable crime thriller, featuring many of the overly familiar hallmarks of shows in the genre,...

“Terces” feels quite light for a penultimate episode, clearly saving up most of its big revelations and developments for the finale.

As it turns out, Vasquez’s near-death experience in the previous episode is the most major breakthrough of the case thus far.

This, I think, is more like it. With the identity of the mysterious Jane Doe having been discovered, several new lines of inquiry open up in Episode 3.

By the end of Untamed Episode 2, Vasquez has figured out who the mysterious Jane Doe is, which is good news.

The first thing you’ll notice about Untamed is that it doesn’t look great.

Untamed is a much less interesting show than I expected it to be. This is a criticism, I suppose, but it feels like more of...

Depending on who you ask, contemporary entertainment’s sheer unwillingness to let go of a recognisable IP may or may not be killing the film, TV, and video game industries all at the same time.

Buddy cop comedies used to be ten-a-penny, and a lot of them were great – Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, 48 Hours, Tango & Cash, the...

Smoke has been a risky show since the beginning, especially since it waited until the final scene of its second episode to become interesting.

Jurnee Smollett is very good in Episode 3 of Smoke, which I think is important to point out, since I spent most of it being disappointed that more attention wasn’t being paid to Dave.

And just like that, it’s over. Feels weird, doesn’t it? Ironheart debuted with the first three episodes, and the ending arrives just a week later....

Apple TV+ tends to premiere new shows with multiple episodes at once, and nowhere has that strategy paid off more than in Smoke.

You have to wonder what Marvel Studios is hoping for with Ironheart. I’m a professional film and TV critic, and someone had to tell me it was out.

You can’t trust a great cast these days. Fountain of Youth had a pretty good one, and it was rubbish, which is always the expectation...

There’s always a risk when you expand a universe–a fact that has sparked social media debate over the limits of the MCU–but Ballerina was the...

Cut off one head, and two more take its place. This is the central idea of the Hydra from Greek mythology – and the extreme...

Do you remember Criminal Code? It was a surprising international hit for Netflix when it first debuted in 2023, delivering eight episodes of rigorously intensive...
