Drama

The most apt description of any episode of Invasion generally begins with, "Not much happened, but...". This holds true in the Season 3 premiere, "The Ones We Leave Behind", which has the unenviable task of setting up a new status quo after the Season 2 finale.

There isn't a great deal that happens in Episode 5 of Chief of War, but there's a tremendous amount implied, which is sometimes more important.

There's no vehicular combat in Episodes 8 & 9 of Twisted Metal Season 2, which, for an adaptation of a video game franchise built entirely around vehicular combat, seems a tad concerning.

It’s hard for a show like Rivers of Fate, which largely traffics in outright misery, to have anything even resembling a happy ending. But these...

Rivers of Fate seems sprung to life as a dare, almost as if directors Fernando and Quico Meirelles were trying to win a bet about...

“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.

One suspects that Episode 2 is the showpiece hour of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.

There's a surprisingly light touch to the earliest portions of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, Hulu's adaptation of Knox’s 2013 memoir, Waiting to Be Heard.

John Grisham’s novel The Rainmaker has always been popular as an indictment of the legal system at every level, and it’s probably telling that it...

I’ve said this before, here and on various social media platforms, but it’s worth repeating — The Winning Try is much more than a sports drama. You...

I’m as surprised as you are, but Season 2 of Fatal Seduction is pretty good. It’s certainly a major improvement over the first season, even if that’s...

Hey, credit where it’s due. Fatal Seduction Season 2 isn’t just a significant improvement over its predecessor, but it also has a proper ending, which,...

The first season of Fatal Seduction, which was unashamedly an almost shot-for-shot remake of Netflix’s Mexican telenovela Dark Desire, had its fans. I don’t know...

Part of the fun of any Dexter show is wondering how he’s going to keep getting away with it, but even by franchise standards, Episode 7 of Dexter:...

You can tell that the ending of Smoke is going to be one of those that defines how people feel about the show overall. It might retroactively...

In another relatively subdued chapter, Chief of War continues to skillfully set the stage for enormous conflicts to come.

The first major round in the Twisted Metal tournament isn't especially interesting, which, it turns out, is by design.
