Drama

Just like with Boston Blue, the midseason finale of Sheriff Country is one of its stronger episodes – and right on the back of an...

It took all season for Boston Blue to get good, only for it to reach its dramatic high point just in time for the midseason...

The Great Flood starts out as a very compelling disaster movie, but it almost becomes a disaster of a movie on the back of its...

A lot has been made of Ashur's suitability as the protagonist of a Spartacus spin-off, but as of Episode 4 of Spartacus: House of Ashur, I'm starting to see the logic.

The more you think about Pluribus, the better it gets. This isn’t true of very many shows these days, since a lot of shows – even the enjoyable ones – are conceptually fraudulent rubbish.

If you were expecting the 10 Dance competition to feature in the ending of the movie 10 Dance, well… more fool you. Do I really...

I will concede that I’m not in the target audience for 10 Dance, a Netflix film from Keishi Otomo, adapting the BL (boys’ love) manga...

Back in the Wasteland, heading to New Vegas, and it feels like there’s a lot on the line for Fallout Season 2.

For the first time in Palm Royale Season 2, the pacing begins to flag in Episode 6. Don’t get me wrong, “Maxine Finds Herself” – a double entendre title that’ll become clear – has its fair share of upsides, including a lot of slapstick-y physical comedy and a great drunk performance from Kristen Wiig.

I’m pleased to report – albeit behind schedule – that Wake Up Dead Man, the third in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out mysteries, is probably the...

Wake Up Dead Man is the first Knives Out Mystery to realise that Daniel Craig’s eccentric detective Benoit Blanc is the least interesting thing about...

Every time Sherlock Holmes has shown up in Watson Season 2, it has heralded bad news.

There are two constants in Stephen King’s work: Fear and evil. Both are eternal. The very idea of Pennywise – or “The Entity”, or simply...

I’d like to be wrong about this, but Pro Bono strikes me as the kind of weekend K-Drama that is perfectly fine and serviceable, but one that, for some hard-to-articulate reason, never really resonates with people.

Can you call yourself a proper outlaw if you lose a sword fight to Sean Bean? It’s worth thinking about. The guy dies in everything he’s in.

I’m beginning to really enjoy the rhythm of Landman Season 2. This is perhaps because it hasn’t always had a discernible one.

You could feel it coming, couldn't you? All throughout Mayor of Kingstown Season 4, that feeling of impending calamity has been building, and building, and here in Episode 8, "Belleville", it arrives.

I do love a subplot that feels very specific, and Sheriff Country has had its share of those already. But it has a really good one in Episode 8, appropriately titled “Death & Taxes”, which really enjoyably leans into the show’s very specific vibe and sense of place.

I’ve been moaning about Boston Blue’s lack of meaningful conflict. But I’m beginning to wonder if maybe the real thing that was missing was depth.

There’s a lot of fire in City of Shadows. Flames form a recurring motif; for revenge, for rebirth, for all kinds of the usual ideas...
