I do wonder if Heavenly Ever After might be too mawkish for its own good. I continue to enjoy the K-Drama, don’t get me wrong, but in Episodes 5 & 6, I began to drift a little.

The Last of Us, as a game and a TV show, is bleak to an extent that borders on parodical, like a social experiment designed to psychologically break huge swathes of people with their so-called entertainment.

I’m not sure what I was expecting from the ending of The Eternaut, but it probably wasn’t what we got. The Netflix series entered Episode 6...

Just when you thought you had things a little figured out, The Eternaut throws you for another loop. The previous episode revealed that bug-like aliens were invading.

Just in case you were wondering what the creature we glimpsed at the end of the previous episode was, we now have an answer.

Episode 3 of The Eternaut, "Magnetism", is about widening the show's scope geographically and in terms of its mythology.

There must be something compelling about the end of the world, since nothing seems more popular in our entertainment these days than the brutal post-apocalypse....

If the first episode of The Eternaut was about the slow, creeping paranoia of questions without answers, Episode 2 is about how that paranoia spills out into violence and chaos at a moment's notice.

People are always calling me a killjoy for disliking snow, but I’d like to point my detractors to The Eternaut. In this Argentinian Netflix series, the...

There's usually a calm before a storm, but The Last of Us Season 2 provided enough storm in its previous outing that everyone spends Episode 3 reeling from it.

There’s a popular Kierkegaard quote about how life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards, and this popped into my mind during Episodes 3 & 4 of Heavenly Ever After.

The concept of heaven is in itself a cliché. Think angels playing harps on clouds, tearful reunions with your loved ones who haven’t aged a day, family pets frolicking through fields – you get the idea.

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.

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

The last ten minutes of “Excessive Force”, in particular, felt like everything long-time fans of the Netflix shows want from these characters.
