Tell Me Lies is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen at being truly awful to watch. It’s a car crash – literally in...

I’m not averse to surprises, but I have to admit I’ve had better ones than this. Tell Me Lies was already squirm-inducingly awkward in Season 3, but Episode 3, “Repent”, takes it to new levels of self-loathing depravity and self-destructive behaviour.

We know Lucy and Stephen aren't going to last -- despite the fact that, even in the present day, they still can't quite leave each other alone -- but I thought their effort to do things differently in Tell Me Lies Season 3 would last more than a single episode.

I'm firmly of the belief that Tell Me Lies is the most infuriating show on television, a distinction which evidently still applies in Season 3, since ten minutes into the premiere, I was ready to punch my TV.

Guys, Brilliant Minds Season 2 might have peaked already. It was always going to be a tall order for Episode 12 to compete with one of the better outings in the show's history, but "The Rider" feels like a bit of a regressive step all the same, lacking the raw emotional sentiment of its immediate predecessor and a lot of the compelling overarching storytelling that has been threaded throughout the season.

As far as clear-cut climaxes go, you could probably see this one coming a mile away. Pro Bono is the sort of show that lends...

You might recall the ending of Industry Season 3, and if you're particularly asture you might recall that it really did feel like a proper, no take-back ending.

For its first couple of seasons, Industry kind of flew under the radar, being as it was the less popular of HBO’s audacious shows about...

I've had some pretty rough hangovers, but I can't imagine how Pine is feeling in Episode 3 of The Night Manager Season 2. Then again, considering he was miraculously able to maintain his cover story despite being drunk, drugged, and lovingly nursed by a dangerous gun-runner, he probably has quite the constitution.

For such a laidback show, Landman relishes chaos. There's something about the rhythm of an argument, the back and forth of problems being deliberated over and weighed up but never quite solved, that suits it. It lives in the space between problems, the snatched moments of uneasy peace until the next issue presents itself.

And we’re back, folks. The team is reunited in the Season 2 premiere of The Hunting Party, which is good news for fans of what was ultimately one of NBC’s better recent procedurals.

It’s difficult to pull off a happy ending in a show as bruising as A Thousand Blows, especially since Season 2 is notably darker than...

I’m personally of the opinion that Stephen Graham (Adolescence) is the most underrated actor in the world, so the fact that it’s Erin Doherty (Chloe), ...

From top to bottom, People We Meet on Vacation is a streaming movie. It has been produced as part of Netflix’s Sony deal, but it...

Some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because of hype, or because they’re arriving at exactly the right time at the forefront of some new prevailing trend or another. But some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because they’re expertly made on every level, and The Pitt is one of those.

Well, that felt good, didn't it? Personally, I thought Achillia would get the privilege of sorting out the Brothers Ferox, but given the events of the previous episode, Korris getting his hands on them felt right. And that's kind of the point.

Let’s be clear here: Girl Taken is a very bleak show. Refreshingly, most of its darkest details occur off-screen and are implied instead of shown,...

I’ve often wondered why Alfie Allen (Night Teeth),  pays his agent, since nobody seems to be cast as feckless creeps with more consistency than him....

A lot of shows have twists and turns. Some are completely contrived and difficult to predict because they don’t make any sense. But some shows...

The morning after the night before – or, I suppose, the moments after the moments before, if you’re in a bit of a rush – is always pretty sobering.
