Things are not going well for Mike McLusky. To be fair, things are never going well for Mike, but it seems the main objective of Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 is to have things go as badly for him as humanly possible.

I knew things weren’t going to work out for Cooper. Landman isn’t the kind of show that would allow an idealistic young man to consistently strike gold, make a fortune, and live happily ever after.

If the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3 didn’t quite feel like a penultimate episode, that’s counterbalanced somewhat by the fact that the ending really does...

As we approach the end of Typhoon Family, Episode 13 regathers a bit more energy and zing, which is probably just as well. It was...

A film about the Nuremberg trials is unlikely to achieve near-perfection; the task is too great. For a start, a director has to encapsulate the...

I should be clear that Clint Bentley’s Train Dreams is a fine film, one of beauty, lyricism, and poignancy, boasting impeccable performances and striking imagery....

Pluribus makes the cold open an art form. There have been some all-timers already in this season – the one in Episode 2 springs to mind – but the first ten minutes of “Please, Carol” take the cake for me.

"L'air Perdu" is the last thing that The Last Frontier needed so close to its finale.

It’s pretty uncontroversial to describe John Watson as a bit of a do-gooder.

I know I’m always moaning about this show for reasons that it sometimes can’t even help, but “Masterpiece” – a provocative title in itself, I think – doesn’t really feel like Murder in a Small Town, you know what I mean?

All the gonzo merits of Palm Royale are very evident in “Maxine Serves A Swerve”.

Streaming’s a mixed bag, isn’t it? While Netflix is over here releasing Marine Corps recruitment propaganda in the guise of documentaries, Apple TV+ is teasing out a show in which the British government tested chemical weapons on its own troops.

Season 4 of The Morning Show has been, let’s face it, pretty all over the place. And while all the disparate character arcs and subplots have yielded...

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

It’s hard to critique It: Welcome to Derry. It has been since the beginning, really. On the level of its broad storytelling, it leaves a lot to be desired, with two pretty ill-fitting concurrent storylines playing out simultaneously, and little overlap as yet.

Sixteen episodes is too many, isn’t it? I don’t mean all of the time, but generally speaking, especially for a K-Drama running 65-75 minutes per outing.

The penultimate ever episode of Billy the Kid feels pretty unmistakably like a side quest.

A pretty big deal is made about the forest in Episode 4 of Robin Hood. Norman military might has no answer for it.

When Talamasca: The Secret Order started, it was quite enjoyably serious.

Landman is the best show in the world at being compelling without anything really happening in it. It managed to get through its entire first...
