Drama

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.

That excitable, itchy feeling of a penultimate episode definitely creeps into The Rainmaker here, and it’s perhaps just as well, since it hasn’t always been...

The ending of The Woman in Cabin 10 has the curious distinction of being both too silly and ridiculous to be believed but also nowhere...

Given what The Woman in Cabin 10 is about and where it’s set, it’s hard not to feel like it misses some open goals. A...

In many ways, the ending of Peacemaker Season 2 is exactly the opposite of what audiences have come to expect from the finale of a...

If you want to build sympathy for anything in film and TV, you make it resemble an animal.

It would have been difficult for The Last Frontier to compete with its premiere in pure action terms, so in Episode 2, "Wind of Change", it doesn't bother.

If nothing else, The Last Frontier is going to be another hit for Apple TV+.

The Resurrected is an exercise in endurance from beginning to end, but the ending itself is particularly guilty of compounding one awful revelation on top...
