Watson has always had a fairly detectable medical-mystery pattern, so it was perfectly fair to imagine that Season 2’s mid-season premiere would really embrace that...

John Dutton died, and then Yellowstone itself died shortly after him, but that doesn’t mean that Taylor Sheridan was ever going to leave the neo-Western...

There's a peculiar feeling you get when you know something awful is going to happen, but can't quite put a finger on it. There's probably some complex evolutionary explanation, a biological early-warning system that can detect dread in the atmosphere. Among its many other achievements, Paradise has managed to weaponise this feeling.

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.

Industry Season 4 was never going to have a happy ending, since happiness doesn’t exist in or indeed anywhere near this show. How can it? It’s...

Sheriff Country is making a big claim for itself in Episode 10. The midseason premiere, “Crucible, Part 2”, picks up five minutes after the midseason finale, and manages to not only immediately resituate us in that tense siege situation but also keep the suspense up unrelentingly for the entire episode.

And we’re back. After a several-month hiatus, Boston Blue returns in Episode 10 not just to conclude the cliffhanger left by the midseason finale, but also to tie up one of Season 1’s big overarching plots – the murder of Judge Ben Silver.

There’s something weird about The Last Thing He Told Me that is difficult to put a finger on. It has always been there, but it’s especially noticeable in Season 2. The best way of describing it would probably be a feeling of inertia, or glossy emptiness. It all just feels so rote, so artificial, that it’s really quite difficult to care about any of it.

In its first season, Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters made a surprisingly great case for itself as one of the better small-screen franchise tie-ins. And Season 2, despite a break lasting over two years, seems determined to live up to that reputation in Episode 1.

The Pitt always causes me some degree of anxiety, and Season 2 has taken great pleasure in doing that so far. But I must confess to being unusually susceptible to Episode 8, since "2:00 P.M." marks the start of an analogue stint that might last up to 24 hours.

The Hunting Party Season 2 is back after a little hiatus, and it’s back guest-starring Kelsey Grammer, which has to count for something. After all, who...

Evidently not finished with cameos from the broader franchise, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy provides another one in Episode 8, “The Life of the Stars”. But...

I’m always surprised when the latest episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy turns out to be an hour long. I’m not sure why, since they’re...

Whoah now, folks. I personally thought that The Beauty was finished with all of its body-horror transformations, and more to the point, I also figured it was...

Byron Forst is a bad guy in the most simplistic possible way, a greedy fatcat billionaire who is cruel to everyone and interested only in...

After arguably wasting an episode on backstory nobody needed, The Beauty had to bounce back in Episode 7. And it does. “Beautiful Living Rooms” initially...

I’m ordinarily the first person to forgive a good action movie for all kinds of sins, just so long as it delivers where it counts....

Cross Season 2 made a bit of a misstep recently, making its villain look a bit doltish by falling in love with a dude she’d...

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...

There’s a slight “too little too late” quality to the tail end of Hijack Season 2 — I think we can all agree that this probably didn’t...
