Smoke has been a risky show since the beginning, especially since it waited until the final scene of its second episode to become interesting.

You’d need both hands and at least half a foot to count all the cool stuff in Leviathan, Netflix’s anime adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s World...

Occasionally, there’s a situational thriller, like say, Panic Room, that pays off with a supporting premise. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Netflix’s Brick...

To give credit where it’s due, I didn’t expect The Buccaneers to rocket through Season 2’s overarching plot the way it does in Episode 4.

I knew this already, but Stick is a nice reminder that nobody plays smug better than Timothy Olyphant.

Jurnee Smollett is very good in Episode 3 of Smoke, which I think is important to point out, since I spent most of it being disappointed that more attention wasn’t being paid to Dave.

Murderbot is a weird show. I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before, but it’s worth reiterating, since even this deep into the season – Episode 9 is the penultimate outing – I’m still not sure what works best about it.

Demonic possession peaked in the ‘70s with The Exorcist and hasn’t been bettered since, which means that every movie about the subject is necessarily derivative...

Love is a complicated thing, and The Buccaneers is struggling to keep track of it in Season 2.

And just like that, it’s over. Feels weird, doesn’t it? Ironheart debuted with the first three episodes, and the ending arrives just a week later....

Grief isn't an emotion you feel; it's a prison you live inside. Sometimes it feels like home.

The segment of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon that opens Episode 8 of Murderbot goes on for so long that I genuinely worried that it would constitute the entire 22-minute runtime.

Apple TV+ tends to premiere new shows with multiple episodes at once, and nowhere has that strategy paid off more than in Smoke.

You have to wonder what Marvel Studios is hoping for with Ironheart. I’m a professional film and TV critic, and someone had to tell me it was out.

Sending letters is a nightmare, isn’t it? You never know who might read them, for one thing, and then there’s the not insignificant fact that they take ages to get where they’re going.

I was very surprised by how suddenly Stick got good. But I wasn't entirely surprised to discover that Episode 6 takes a bit of a downturn.

I could not help but have a slight smile during my screening of F1 The Movie, seeing fans donning outfits for their favourite motor racing...

Look, I’m a reasonable man, so there’s no way I was expecting the ending of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 to be any good. Too...

You can make a lot of simple declarative statements about Episode 7 of Murderbot.

E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars is famous in large part for a significant last-minute twist which completely recontextualises the entire story, and fans of the...
