Drama

"L'air Perdu" is the last thing that The Last Frontier needed so close to its finale.

It’s pretty uncontroversial to describe John Watson as a bit of a do-gooder.

I know I’m always moaning about this show for reasons that it sometimes can’t even help, but “Masterpiece” – a provocative title in itself, I think – doesn’t really feel like Murder in a Small Town, you know what I mean?

All the gonzo merits of Palm Royale are very evident in “Maxine Serves A Swerve”.

Streaming’s a mixed bag, isn’t it? While Netflix is over here releasing Marine Corps recruitment propaganda in the guise of documentaries, Apple TV+ is teasing out a show in which the British government tested chemical weapons on its own troops.

Season 4 of The Morning Show has been, let’s face it, pretty all over the place. And while all the disparate character arcs and subplots have yielded...

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

It’s hard to critique It: Welcome to Derry. It has been since the beginning, really. On the level of its broad storytelling, it leaves a lot to be desired, with two pretty ill-fitting concurrent storylines playing out simultaneously, and little overlap as yet.

Sixteen episodes is too many, isn’t it? I don’t mean all of the time, but generally speaking, especially for a K-Drama running 65-75 minutes per outing.

The penultimate ever episode of Billy the Kid feels pretty unmistakably like a side quest.

A pretty big deal is made about the forest in Episode 4 of Robin Hood. Norman military might has no answer for it.

When Talamasca: The Secret Order started, it was quite enjoyably serious.

Landman is the best show in the world at being compelling without anything really happening in it. It managed to get through its entire first...

“Dead Weight” is the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3, but it doesn’t feel like it.

There has been quite a lot of death in Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 thus far.

The last thing Typhoon Family needed was to get drier, but here we are in Episode 11, “Tomorrow Comes Love”, with Tae-poong trying to secure a government contract.

People are sleeping on Sheriff Country. I’m not suggesting it’s secretly a prestige drama or anything, but as far as procedurals go, it’s really a very fine version of that oh-so-familiar format, and I think you can see it quite clearly in Episode 5, “Expecting Trouble”.

You see how much difference a bit of disagreement makes? For all its strengths as a procedural, this is the one area where Boston Blue...

In most shows, the finale of Malice would constitute a happy ending. The pampered, privileged family is taken to task for their selfishness, after all,...

Nothing about Prime Video’s Malice should work. It’s very silly, totally implausible, and stars Jack Whitehall, of all people, not as bumbling comic relief but...
