We’re finally on the penultimate episode of Typhoon Family, and about midway through, I realised I’ve checked out.

When it’s firing on all cylinders, Sheriff Country is a superb procedural, as evidenced by its previous outing.

It definitely feels like Boston Blue is learning. Like the previous episode, which for the first time attempted to meaningfully challenge almost all of its characters, Episode 6, “Code of Ethics”, throws in a few new wrinkles, especially for Danny and Baez.

Stranger Things is synonymous with Netflix. It has been the crown jewel in the streamer’s offerings since it debuted in 2016, and has surely turned...

Let me be the first to say that I’m no fan of Netflix releasing its big shows in volumes. Splitting up a season kills a...

Stranger Things Season 5 hasn’t quite felt like Stranger Things of old yet, something remedied by Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap”.

You could make a case, if you were so inclined, that the Season 5 premiere of Stranger Things felt every second of its runtime because it was trying a bit too hard to settle us back in.

It takes an effort to remember this now since it was roughly a lifetime ago, but the abduction of Will Byers in Season 1 of Stranger Things remains the most important component of the narrative.

Unpopular opinion though it might be, I think Mayor Christie Holman has been my favourite character in Murder in a Small Town Season 2.

In hindsight, Palm Royale delivered one of its best ever episodes last week, setting a high bar for Season 2, and it was very unlikely that Episode 3, “Maxine Solves a Murder”, was going to clear it.

Mileage may vary, but I think it has taken until Episode 9 for The Last Frontier to figure out the mode it operates best in.

We’ve got a lot to thank Rhea Seehorn for, for obvious reasons, but one of the biggest is carrying an entire episode of Pluribus on her own.

You might be surprised to learn that Episode 7 is not the penultimate episode of Down Cemetery Road, which is weird since it really feels like it is.

Just in case you needed any more evidence that Watson works best as a straight-up medical drama that has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes, look no further than “Giant Steps”, which is, by my count, the first and thus far only genuinely good episode of Season 2.

Remember when Ryan Murphy inexplicably spent a whole hour of All’s Fair trying to make us feel sorry for Carrington Lane? That was weird, right? Then again, the whole show’s weird, so what can you do? Episode 6 wants you to forget about that anyway.

It: Welcome to Derry has held off on leveraging the iconic smirking visage of Bill Skarsgård’s bulbous-headed Pennywise the Clown.

You wouldn’t think that Episode 14 of a 16-episode run was necessarily the right place for a significant change of pace, but Typhoon Family has other ideas.

Talamasca: The Secret Order has one of those endings. You know the kind I mean. Episode 6 – in hindsight, six episodes were nowhere near...

As soon as it turned out that Billy the Kid survived the incident that killed him in real life, it was obvious where Season 3...

In an article for TechRadar, Jasmine Valentine talks about how the supposedly grounded sex scenes of Robin Hood are a little weird.
