Drama

Halfway between the continuation of Blue Bloods and the introduction of a completely new show, the premiere of Boston Blue has that classic “same but different” quality you probably expect from a spin-off to a beloved procedural.

The hook of Sheriff Country is that it’s about a sheriff for whom the law is the least of her problems.

There are few things more satisfying than a legal drama that lets the good guys win. In the case of The Rainmaker, I don’t use...

The Perfect Neighbor is an engaging and quite uniquely constructed true-crime documentary that, at about the midpoint, morphs into one of the most harrowing films...

Alaska is full of amazing sights. Caribou roaming the tundra.

Invasion Season 3 has been all over the place, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise since the first two seasons weren't exactly coherent either.

Most people, I suspect, watch Murder in a Small Town for the murders.

Not to say I told you so, but, well, I told you so. It isn’t like Gen V Season 2 had been especially subtle about what was really going on with Cipher and Thomas Godolkin, but it’s nice that Episode 7 clarifies it – and with immediately chilling effect.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.

I was just about ready to declare Episode 5 of The Morning Show Season 4 a bit of a dud.

Slow Horses is a very smart show about people who're indescribably stupid or much cleverer than they look.

The worst thing that ever happened to Watson was Brilliant Minds. Both shows are similar enough that the comparisons are unavoidable; medical procedurals with a focus on very strange, often brain-related cases of the week.

Look, nobody, least of all me, thought that Everybody Loves Me When I’m Dead was going to have a happy ending. But I didn’t expect...

There’s no such thing as a victimless crime, which seems to be the underlying point of Netflix’s demented, bleak, hyper-violent Thai thriller Everybody Loves Me...

Brilliant Minds has always been good, and sometimes it has been very good, but in Season 2, it really might be at its peak.

People die. This is true in real life and even truer in television shows, since drama needs conflict, and conflict is invariably kicked off and concluded with violence.

Season 3 of Billy the Kid seems best characterised as “the one where he gets ambushed everywhere he goes”, which must be demoralising when you’re trying to organise a resistance movement.

Well, we’re in the ‘90s, of that there can be no doubt. The whole aesthetic of Typhoon Family reflects the period in which it’s set, but it’s not all in service of chintzy nostalgia.

While not quite the standout that the wide-scale defence of Solaz and Daryl’s solo train side quest were, Episode 6 still feels like Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon operating at a pretty high standard.

Jeremiah Dunmire’s goons stealing the Montague 50 seemed like a much bigger deal than it ends up being in Tulsa King Season 3, Episode 4.
