Nowhere are the intentions of Last Samurai Standing – Netflix’s fusion of Squid Game and Shogun – clearer than in its ending, which completely abandons...

It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...

When a show like Murder in a Small Town has an episode like “This, That, and the Other Thing” in its locker, it can sometimes make you wonder why it’s so content to be mediocre most of the time.

I'm often claiming that episodes pick up where the previous one left off, but it's rarely ever as literal as it is in Down Cemetery Road.

Most shows require a bit of detective work when they return after some time away, but it took me longer than usual to reacclimatise to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale.

I can’t say I didn’t warn you, but Episode 9 of Typhoon Family hits the wall I expected it to. It isn’t a bad outing,...

I know I keep going on about it, but you’ll have to forgive me, since it’s really difficult not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston...

It’s a good job Boston Blue is a decent procedural, because if it weren’t for the cases of the week, it’d be the dullest, most...

Call me naive, but I genuinely thought that Mango was going to be a deceptive title laced with some kind of hidden meaning. But no...

Even before its release, Pluribus was being hailed as proper event television, the kind of watercooler show we don’t get anymore from the man responsible...
