A question that occurred to me midway through When the Stars Gossip Episode 4 – what, exactly are we supposed to be latching onto here? It’s a worthwhile question.

“Ten of Swords” lacks most of the gothic atmosphere that the premiere was able to create, and instead settles into an odd rhythm of concurrent storylines, some real and some more esoteric, none of which are especially interesting.

Nobody was expecting a happy ending to Landman, and Episode 10, “The Crumbs of Hope”, is the furthest thing from one. But I was pretty...

When the Stars Gossip has been, thus far, a very strange and silly show, with a far-out premise about fertilizing eggs in space and a lot of low-stakes slapstick to pad out the episode runtime.

Ad Vitam isn’t a very good movie, and its ending helps to illuminate precisely why that is. After a stellar start and then an incredibly...

Ad Vitam plays out like someone challenged director Rodolphe Lauga to make a very simple film as needlessly, off-puttingly convoluted as possible. It starts out...

The premiere of The Pitt covers 07:00-08:00 and 08:00-09:00 of a single continuous shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.

The turnaround that The Agency has made in the last few episodes is pretty remarkable given how bad it was when it started.

“The Safeguard” is probably the best episode of Silo Season 2 thus far. This is perhaps not the highest of praise given the sophomore run hasn’t been perfect and has started to sag in its most recent episodes.

Subteran avoids the easy, happy ending, which holistically is one of the bolder things about it. Netflix’s first Romanian original series is mostly content to...

Subteran is, to my knowledge, the first Romanian Netflix original series, and you know what? It’s a pretty good debut effort. It’s not perfect, obviously;...

Netflix’s brutal Western American Primeval spins a complex web around the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a real event that occurred in the Utah Territory in 1857....

Dick Wolf’s Prime Video procedural On Call condenses a classic format into an ideal streaming binge, delivering eight trim episodes of policework knitted together by...

Pretty much everyone dies in American Primeval, which is to be expected. Nobody thought a happy ending was coming to any of these characters, even...

American Primeval is awful, but largely in a way that’s terrifically entertaining. It’s about a lot of horrible people doing a great many heinous things,...

Dick Wolf’s contributions to the network TV procedural are undeniable, but streaming is a first for the veteran producer, and On Call represents not just...

It takes a fair amount of time and a lot of concentration to get to the climax of Hound’s Hill, so most viewers will enter...

Hound’s Hill is the kind of bleak small-town mystery that dumps you in the middle of a world and lets you acclimate on your own...

“Obsessed” is a fitting title for the midseason premiere of High Potential. Morgan is obsessed, for instance, with solving crimes, spouting off random facts about everything.

The Breakthrough has an ending that’s a little like releasing a long-held intake of breath. It isn’t the usual kind of crime drama tension, I’ll...
