Drama

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...

Well, I think it’s safe to say that the launch of Apple TV+’s Pluribus was quite the success. Its deeply mysterious two-episode premiere was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews and word of mouth, despite a degree of hype I rarely recall seeing in recent times.

In many ways, “Change of Time” is the most significant episode of The Last Frontier thus far. It’s the one with the big reveal about Frank’s past, including the meaning behind the gun he’s keeping hidden in that copy of Walter Coates’s Alaska.

Nowhere are the intentions of Last Samurai Standing – Netflix’s fusion of Squid Game and Shogun – clearer than in its ending, which completely abandons...

It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...

When a show like Murder in a Small Town has an episode like “This, That, and the Other Thing” in its locker, it can sometimes make you wonder why it’s so content to be mediocre most of the time.

I'm often claiming that episodes pick up where the previous one left off, but it's rarely ever as literal as it is in Down Cemetery Road.

Most shows require a bit of detective work when they return after some time away, but it took me longer than usual to reacclimatise to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale.

The Morning Show has had its fair share of villains, but Season 4 has sorely lacked in this regard.

I’ll be the first person to admit that Watson doesn’t need Sherlock Holmes. It works better without him, actually.

The vitriolic criticism of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair has been more predictable than warranted.

What I liked about Talamasca: The Secret Order initially is that, despite being set in a world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural ephemera, it presented itself as a pretty straight-up espionage thriller.

I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.

Sometimes it takes failure to show you what success really looks like.

Billy the Kid is alive. I feel I should point this out since technically, Billy is supposed to be dead. Pat Garrett shot him twice,...
