The fact that Las Vegas is nicknamed “Sin City” should probably be a clue that hosting anything important there is a bad idea, especially if that important thing needs a lot of egoists to sell it.

Tastefully Yours has a comfort that comes from familiarity. In Episode 2, it’s largely going through the motions, opening the story up a little and shunting it forward, but not threatening to veer off in any unexpected directions.

Sometimes what people want from their entertainment is comfort and familiarity, and that definitely seems to be the kind of audience Tastefully Yours is courting, at least as far as Episode 1 is concerned.

It was always going to be difficult to adapt The Last of Us Part II, which is a game that relies on the fundamental expectations of video games as a medium to tell a pretty complex story about grief, revenge, and various other attendant matters, none of them particularly positive.

Maybe it’s just me, but Heavenly Ever After is starting to feel like a lot. It could be the episode runtimes, granted, which stretch to almost feature-length twice a week.

I've never been on board with the idea of hate-watching something. It seems like a waste of time to me.

Until now, MobLand has been a tale of two families who each possess a relatively even share of London’s criminal underworld, but Episode 7, “The Crossroads”, introduces much bigger fish to that relatively tiny pond.

I know what you’re thinking – a teen romance about two radically different but implausibly attractive people has to have a happy ending, right? The...

There’s a very simple and obvious formula for a movie like Bad Influence, which shouldn’t be confused with Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, a...

If we're being frank, Your Friends & Neighbors hasn't been an especially contemplative show, which is perhaps why Episode 6 is such a standout installment.

It has taken Your Friends & Neighbors five weeks to circle back to the brutal crime scene it began with, but Episode 5 finally gets us there with a little more context.

The Studio is a show about Hollywood that clearly enjoys an impressive amount of access to its stars and executives, but it has rarely felt quite as insider-y as it does in Episode 8, aptly titled “The Golden Globes”.

Conceptually, The Walking Dead: Dead City was supposed to capitalize on the unresolved and oddly sexually charged relationship between Maggie and Negan.

I do wonder if Heavenly Ever After might be too mawkish for its own good. I continue to enjoy the K-Drama, don’t get me wrong, but in Episodes 5 & 6, I began to drift a little.

After MobLand revealed that we’d been following the bad guys all along, Episode 6 completely doubles down on the idea, as well as taking the Harrigans’ nonsense international (hence the title, “Antwerp Blues”).

The Last of Us, as a game and a TV show, is bleak to an extent that borders on parodical, like a social experiment designed to psychologically break huge swathes of people with their so-called entertainment.

A cliffhanger ending really doesn’t suit Happy Face, and I spent most of Episode 8, “The Star”, believing that it wasn’t going to get one....

I’m not sure what I was expecting from the ending of The Eternaut, but it probably wasn’t what we got. The Netflix series entered Episode 6...

Just when you thought you had things a little figured out, The Eternaut throws you for another loop. The previous episode revealed that bug-like aliens were invading.

Just in case you were wondering what the creature we glimpsed at the end of the previous episode was, we now have an answer.
