For a while now, I’ve been complaining about Bon Appetit, Your Majesty wasting time on this damn cooking competition.

There has long been a cliché about rich people and buying immortality. Popular tropes involve cryogenic freezing, downloading consciousnesses into AIs, and so on, and...

Some shows get people in the door with a premise alone, and such is the case with Billionaire’s Bunker, another effort from beloved Spanish creative...

Peacemaker has spent most of Season 2 in the grip of a holding pattern, one that is very funny and silly in the moment but has largely only achieved reiterating its clutch of underlying character ideas (you’ll notice that there’s no real overarching plot or villain this season).

When you think about it, Invasion has always been an extremely simple story told in the most needlessly complex way possible.

Prime Video’s spin-off from The Boys returns for Season 2 with several pretty important mandates.

In many ways, we’ve all been waiting for the Lost Boys to turn on Boy Kavalier and Prodigy and facilitate some kind of escape, possibly aided by Kirsh for bonus catharsis points.

Oh, we’re not doing the whole “Carol has a dead daughter” thing again, are we?

And here I was, complaining about how long it took Bon Appetit, Your Majesty to finally get around to the cooking competition.

I’ll be the first to admit that I thought a cooking competition was a good idea for Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. It might still be. We wouldn’t know, since it still hasn’t happened yet.

The pacing of Peacemaker Season 2 is a little weird, right? Every episode seems like filler, setting up the next key moment, which never seems to arrive when you think it will.

There’s a feeling of getting the gang back together in Episode 4 of Invasion Season 3, which would be ideal if Nikhil weren’t a part of that gang.

Earlier in this season, I said half-jokingly that the Xenomorphs were the good guys in Alien: Earth, but frankly, I’m starting to believe it more and more.

For two seasons, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was inseparable from its French setting.

As expected, Episode 6 of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty revolves around Ji-young rising up to defend Joseon’s reputation in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has been pretty knockabout so far, but the margins have always contained a much more serious show.

The more it goes on, the more it seems like Peacemaker Season 2 is pretty specifically about Chris Smith’s relationship with Emilia Harcourt.

Generally speaking, I don't like Invasion very much. Never have, really. And the first two episodes of Season 3 have largely been really good examples of why.

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.

Wednesday is about werewolves and zombies and death; about Gorgons and Sirens and mad scientists. But it’s mostly about friendship and family, especially in Part...
