You can always tell a Spike Lee joint, even if those very words didn’t reliably pop up in the opening credits every time. There’s always...

The more it goes on, the more it seems like Peacemaker Season 2 is pretty specifically about Chris Smith’s relationship with Emilia Harcourt.

Anyone expecting any major surprises from the ending of Dexter: Resurrection is likely to leave “And Justice For All…” a little disappointed. But, based on that title...

Despite being the shortest and most contained episode of Chief of War thus far, "Day of Spilled Brains" might nonetheless be the outing that best sums up the story's essentials.

Generally speaking, I don't like Invasion very much. Never have, really. And the first two episodes of Season 3 have largely been really good examples of why.

I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.

If The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is proving anything, it’s that joint CIA/Mossad black ops are a little bit tumultuous, which, to be fair, probably shouldn’t come...

The truth is a fluid thing, wriggly and uncertain. It’s time-sensitive, open to interpretation, and matters less than the story it’s wrapped in. When you...

How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.

Once again I’m confronted with the possibility that Beyond the Bar might be responding to these recaps directly.

It took until Episode 9, but Beyond the Bar fiddles with its structure a little bit here, splitting its time between two cases, one of which isn’t entirely resolved by the end.

There was never a doubt in my mind that The Winning Try would stick the landing and deliver a satisfying ending, but even I was surprised by the sheer quality of its finale.

The Rainmaker has been a pretty good adaptation so far, different enough from the 1997 film to justify its existence but not so out-there as to feel like a different story entirely.

I struggle to think of a TV show in recent years that has charmed and delighted me quite as much as The Winning Try.

For a comic book show, Peacemaker is becoming surprisingly character-driven in Season 2, and for such a funny comedy, it’s also deeply sad at its core.

Living a lie is a difficult thing to do, especially when you're living several at once, but this is precisely the predicament that Dexter has found himself in all throughout Dexter: Resurrection.

War is coming, of that there can be no doubt. I suppose Chief of War would be a bad title if it weren't.

I don't think there's much point in moaning about Invasion's pacing anymore.

The final round of the Twisted Metal tournament performs as advertised. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are carnage from top to bottom, killing off the...

I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.
