Anyone expecting any major surprises from the ending of Dexter: Resurrection is likely to leave “And Justice For All…” a little disappointed. But, based on that title...

I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.

If The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is proving anything, it’s that joint CIA/Mossad black ops are a little bit tumultuous, which, to be fair, probably shouldn’t come...

Living a lie is a difficult thing to do, especially when you're living several at once, but this is precisely the predicament that Dexter has found himself in all throughout Dexter: Resurrection.

The final round of the Twisted Metal tournament performs as advertised. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are carnage from top to bottom, killing off the...

I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.

It occurs to me that The Terminal List: Dark Wolf suffers slightly from Ben Edwards and Raife Hastings being the least interesting things about it.

Maybe it's just me, but The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has real pacing issues.

Blimey, this is a bit serious, isn't it? The Terminal List: Dark Wolf lays its cards out on the table pretty early in Episode 1, and those cards read, roughly, "The American armed forces should be treated with paramount reverence and respect."

Stephen King is the most famous horror writer in the world, which is worth remembering sometimes, because The Institute isn’t really a horror story. It’s...

Dexter Morgan kills bad guys. He’s pretty particular about it, so it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking about Dex as if he’s a good guy.

Fall for Me is a tale of two sisters, both idiots, who find themselves ensnared in a sexy scheme to defraud them of an expansive...

The experience of watching Fall for Me is a lot like watching paint dry, with the semi-important caveat of someone getting their nipples out every...

There's no vehicular combat in Episodes 8 & 9 of Twisted Metal Season 2, which, for an adaptation of a video game franchise built entirely around vehicular combat, seems a tad concerning.

It’s hard for a show like Rivers of Fate, which largely traffics in outright misery, to have anything even resembling a happy ending. But these...

Rivers of Fate seems sprung to life as a dare, almost as if directors Fernando and Quico Meirelles were trying to win a bet about...

“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.

“Out of the frying pan and into the fire” comes to mind when watching Episode 7 of The Institute.

Part of the fun of any Dexter show is wondering how he’s going to keep getting away with it, but even by franchise standards, Episode 7 of Dexter:...

The first major round in the Twisted Metal tournament isn't especially interesting, which, it turns out, is by design.
