It’s fair to say that every human on Earth knows that Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, so it’s a mercy...

Episode 11, “The Sauna at the End of the Stairs”, could go either way. It isn’t like the previous episode, which just seemed to pivot to a different genre entirely, but it has a similar try-hard quality that I found off-putting.

Episode 3, “The Sequence”, rids itself of the advantage of Taylah’s charisma and energy by saddling her with Ed, as the two of them are forced on the run together.

“The Architect of Social Well-Being” widens the scope a little more to reveal more about Tarabi, provide some illuminating background on Collins’s relationship with his father, and once again deliver a game-changing last-minute twist.

Paradise already upended the entire show at the end of its premiere, so it’s no surprise that Episode 2, “Sinatra”, doesn’t have quite the same wow factor.

Dan Fogelman has a thing for flipping a premiere on its head, and the last-minute twist of Paradise is an absolute doozy.

CBS is hoping the Sherlock well hasn’t run dry after Elementary, but crucially that show had Holmes in it. The premiere of Watson opens with his apparent demise after a tumble down a waterfall in pursuit of James Moriarty (who else?).

The most interesting thing that happens in Episode 4 of Mayfair Witches Season 2 happens at the very end, and then “Double Helix” ends before doing anything with it.

Given how much I didn’t like The Agency when it started, it’s kind of remarkable how good the first season’s ending is. Episode 10, “Overtaken...

After an excellently mysterious premiere reintroduced viewers to the world of Severance in its much-anticipated Season 2, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig” does the same thing from the opposite angle.

It isn’t as easy as it looks to make something generic, especially on a streaming platform. A lot of hacks take shelter in genre, believing...

Given the immense popularity of The Night Agent, it was virtually inevitable that its ending wouldn’t really be an ending. Just like how the first...

With the end in sight, The Night Agent Season 2 pulls no punches in Episode 9. There’s at least one major death here, several hair-raising set-pieces, an out-of-nowhere turnaround in the Iranian subplot, and some genuine emotional catharsis to seal the deal.

There it is – that end of season feeling. It took a while, but Episode 8 is where The Night Agent Season 2 really kicks into gear, delivering significant character turns and major twists to build the stakes ahead of the final two episodes.

There’s quite a bit going on in Episode 7 of The Night Agent Season 2. “Tilt” is, I think, the densest chapter so far, the one most full of key developments and crucial turning points in virtually every ongoing subplot.

What makes a good agent? Given that’s the title of Episode 6 of The Night Agent Season 2, it’s a worthwhile question to ask, since it also forms the thematic basis of another hour that takes things pretty slowly and then explodes into action towards the end.

By the standards of most episodes of The Night Agent, “A Family Matter” is pretty tame for most of its runtime. But don’t be fooled....

Episode 4 is easily the best installment of The Night Agent Season 2 thus far. As we approach the midpoint and have a clearer sense...

Episode 3 of The Night Agent Season 2 feels like a table-setting installment, an hour dedicated to putting all the right pieces in position and...

While some of the complexity, mystery, and even urgency of The Night Agent’s first season was a little absent in its Season 2 premiere, Episode...
