Drama

America is the land of opportunity. It’s also, apparently, the land of thieves, sexual deviants, racists, judgy bureaucrats, and very long-winded travel options.

I get it. I get why The Potato Lab works, and it’s a surprisingly obvious realization, highlighted really capably by Episode 3.

Ever proving that there’s more than one way to skin a cat – or, in this case, air a K-Drama – Netflix elected to release When Life Gives You Tangerines, the expensively-produced IU-starring drama doubling as a love letter to Jeju Island, in four four-part volumes.

Tyler Perry continues to torment streaming audiences worldwide with execrable garbage like Divorce in the Black and A Fall from Grace, but Beauty in Black...

It’s clear that Yellowjackets Season 3 has entered more exciting territory now. And yes, I agree it’s about time.

If there is ever a resounding example of a hidden gem on Netflix, look no further than the German thriller film Delicious. What makes it...

Surface Season 2 hasn’t been very good, at least not if you ask me, but Episode 3, “Kintsugi”, provides an interesting turning point.

Severance is a great show, of that there can be no doubt, and Season 2 is on track to exceed the freshman outing in almost every way. But Episode 8, “Sweet Vitriol”, doesn’t help its case.

There's something just a little bit off about Season 3 of Reacher, and now we've returned to the present day after an episode spent almost entirely in the past, I think I've figured out what.

As with all Harlan Coben thrillers, Just One Look is built on a nested series of twists and turns that gradually reveal the truth of...

We have long since reached a point where “It’s a Harlan Coben thriller” will pretty much suffice as a description of a TV show. But...

Let me just be clear out of the gate. Yes, they did it. Daredevil: Born Again is like the Netflix shows, which is worth mentioning...

Prime Target has been impressively bad throughout, so I wasn’t expecting its ending to magically turn things around, but Episode 8 is rubbish even by the...

Paradise is much more than a murder mystery, but its ending is very much in the style of the classics. Season 1, Episode 8, “The Man...

The Hunting Party unfortunately ends its run of improving form in Episode 5. "Roy Barber" isn't a bad episode, by any means, but it is one that seems to miss the point of NBC's high-concept procedural.

The Plastic Men is certainly a psychological film that evolves as it progresses into its second and third acts. More poignantly, it is clear that...

At a pinch, you could quite easily forget that The White Lotus is still a murder mystery in Season 3. It’s the only show that can devote an episode to characters lounging around poolside and doing basically nothing and still be considered prestige TV.

There might come a time in the not-too-distant future when I’m able to look back and say Watson got good around Episode 4. It’s weird, though, because “Patient Question Mark” isn’t even a hugely notable improvement over the first few episodes.

I think we can all agree that the Suits LA premiere was a little too chaotic for its own good. The good news is that things settle down a little bit in Episode 2, “Old Man Hanrahan”.

I know it say it all the time, but Taylor Sheridan’s fascination with animal-based peril is getting hilarious. Not that there’s a great deal of humour to be found in an episode titled “The Rapist is Winter”, to be fair.
