It’s worth wondering how someone gets into a position of power in a place like Gilead. Aunt Lydia, who’s very much the focal point of The Testaments Episode...

The ending of Imperfect Women isn’t about surprises. It became obvious several episodes ago who killed Nancy, and despite recent efforts to throw a new suspect into...

I’m firmly of the opinion that there has never been a puppet that wasn’t horrific, and I confess to being a tiny bit sceptical of...

Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 exists in “frozen time”, continuity-wise, so it’s no wonder that the ending sets up a second season. As we’ve already...

You didn’t think we had left Hawkins, Indiana, entirely, did you? These days, the idea of letting a franchise die is utterly unconscionable, not when...

Can you be nostalgic for nostalgia? This question was at the forefront of my mind while soaking in the ten episodes of Netflix’s animated spin-off...

You can tell that Daredevil: Born Again is reaching a fever pitch in Season 2, since “Requiem” feels in many ways like an effort to...
