Weak Hero Class 2 picks up right where it left things in Episode 2, but it messes with expectations a little. The obvious and expected showdown...

Let’s be frank — there wouldn’t be a second season of Weak Hero if Si-eun wasn’t going to eventually beat the brakes off every bully in his...

I don’t know how you will feel—you’re probably opposed to me—but I am glad that Netflix has finally decided to wrap up You. It has...

Let’s just clear up any confusion. Bullet Train Explosion is nothing to do with David Leitch’s demented 2022 action-comedy Bullet Train, though it would perhaps...

Only rarely will you see pre-release hype for a single hour of television as vigorous as what HBO was pushing for "Through the Valley".

If you squint a little bit, it’s kind of beautiful. Daredevil: Born Again is only vaguely what one would consider a comic book show, the...

The reason why The Last of Us worked as a live-action video game adaptation is largely because it knew it couldn’t just adapt the game directly.

I can say this for Season 7 of Black Mirror, if nothing else – it’s better than the last one. But that’s a low bar...

You have to wonder if the reason Black Mirror isn’t very good anymore is that the horrifying digital future it once imagined is now our...

A lot happens in Episode 8 of Daredevil: Born Again; people die, there's a prison break, a swanky ball, and the truth, finally, about what happened to Foggy Nelson is revealed.

Now that’s how you do a finale. The Hunting Party caps off a run of great form with a brilliant ending that weaves its case of the...

The White Lotus doesn’t do happy endings, which is by design. Each season begins with the promise of death and ends by delivering it.

Finally! Just like that, a meandering Season 2 of Surface starts to feel a lot more like a proper thriller with Episode 7, and it’s about time.

I’ve got to be honest; I’m starting to lose track of Yellowjackets a bit. Between the dual timelines, switching perspectives, surreal dreamscapes, dark side alter egos, and flesh-eating past and present, it’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s what.

After a banger double-bill, it’s easy to consider Episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again a bit of a step down.

It’s genuinely impressive how The Hunting Party keeps adapting its formula each week. Episode 9 continues a run of great form by finding another novel take on the procedural format while also making ground in the macro plot and Shane’s personal backstory.

We’re almost at the end of our third stay at The White Lotus, and we’ve reached the point in Season 3 where everything is knitting together and we’re right on the cusp of all-out disaster.

Surface Season 2 has been very strange, but with the way Episode 6 plays out, you can sort of see what it was all building towards.

One of the meta mysteries of Yellowjackets Season 3 has been who Hilary Swank is playing, and if nothing else, Episode 8, “A Normal, Boring Life”, answers that question.

And here I was wondering if Reacher could tie off every loose end in Season 3 in just a single episode. I needn’t have worried. Episode 8,...
