Paradise is much more than a murder mystery, but its ending is very much in the style of the classics. Episode 8, “The Man Who Kept...

The Hunting Party unfortunately ends its run of improving form in Episode 5. "Roy Barber" isn't a bad episode, by any means, but it is one that seems to miss the point of NBC's high-concept procedural.

The Plastic Men is certainly a psychological film that evolves as it progresses into its second and third acts. More poignantly, it is clear that...

At a pinch, you could quite easily forget that The White Lotus is still a murder mystery in Season 3. It’s the only show that can devote an episode to characters lounging around poolside and doing basically nothing and still be considered prestige TV.

There might come a time in the not-too-distant future when I’m able to look back and say Watson got good around Episode 4. It’s weird, though, because “Patient Question Mark” isn’t even a hugely notable improvement over the first few episodes.

I think we can all agree that the Suits LA premiere was a little too chaotic for its own good. The good news is that things settle down a little bit in Episode 2, “Old Man Hanrahan”.

I know it say it all the time, but Taylor Sheridan’s fascination with animal-based peril is getting hilarious. Not that there’s a great deal of humour to be found in an episode titled “The Rapist is Winter”, to be fair.

Oddly, my concern with The Potato Lab is now that the weirdness of it might put people off. And that’s an interesting position to be in as early as Episode 2, since I’m still making a few assumptions about where it might all be heading.

Let’s be frank here – the ending of Mayfair Witches Season 2 is a mess. It’s full of action, deaths, twists, and moral ambiguities, and...

What is it with K-Dramas these days? The concepts seem to be getting more and more bonkers. Now seems an odd time to suddenly decide that a good old rom-com isn’t enough anymore; there needs to be some kind of unique qualifying gimmick.

Yellowjackets Season 3 has been strange and inscrutable so far, and it isn’t like things get suddenly clear in Episode 4.

The unexpected return of a familiar face is the gotcha moment of “Speak of the Devil”, but until then Episode 2 feels a little too glossy to be engaging.

What is Lumon up to? This is the question that powers a lot of Severance, and rightly so, since the mega-corp is central to everything despite their motives always seeming elusive.

I’ve been thinking about Persuader a lot. That’s the book that Reacher Season 3 is based on, the seventh in Lee Child’s series and one that nobody really talks about.

The latest in an increasingly long list of power-to-the-people British dramas platforming inspiring true stories and underrepresented parts of the U.K., Toxic Town joins Mr....

Early into Toxic Town, it got me thinking about Bank of Dave, and that’s before Rory Kinnear (The Imitation Game, The Diplomat) showed up. Both...

Adulthood is complex—at least, that’s the main message of the Norwegian Netflix film The Wrong Track. I also believe that labeling this movie solely as...

Can you recall a penultimate episode of any series being less urgent than "Prime Finder"? I don't think I can. Although I'm hardly surprised at this point.

The premiere of Suits LA is like someone dared NBC to cram every character and subplot they plan to use in Season 1 into a single episode.

This is a big statement, but Episode 7 of Paradise is probably going to end up being the best hour of television of 2025.
