I’ve been a fan of Chad Powers since the beginning, but I’m quite happy to admit that the one thing it hasn’t been is unconventional. A hodgepodge...

Episode 5 of Chad Powers begins with two back-to-back moments of excruciatingly awkward cringe comedy, but it ends with serious, unexpected character drama, and that's probably Hulu's comedy in a nutshell.

Truth being told, I don't know what people don't like about Chad Powers. As far as comedies go, it does more or less everything right.

My worry for Chad Powers is that it's a better, smarter show than its humour sometimes suggests.

I can totally see why someone might not like Chad Powers, the Hulu comedy co-created by Glen Powell and Loki’s Michael Waldron that relies on a latex mask and a bad wig for a good percentage of its laughs.

There was never a doubt in my mind that The Winning Try would stick the landing and deliver a satisfying ending, but even I was surprised by the sheer quality of its finale.

I struggle to think of a TV show in recent years that has charmed and delighted me quite as much as The Winning Try.

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...

Since the very beginning, The Winning Try has been a superb show, but here in Episode 10, it reaches its zenith. Several developing subplots intertwine for a key cliffhanger, but that comes after several beautiful character moments.

The Winning Try's sudden pivot into more serious and compelling drama continues apace in Episode 9, a brilliant hour dense with interlocking subplots and heightening stakes.

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.

As far as subject-approved, rather curtained docuseries go, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is closer to something like WWE: Unreal than anything else....

I'll level with you, readers -- I wasn't expecting half of what happens in The Winning Try Episode 7.

I’ve said this before, here and on various social media platforms, but it’s worth repeating — The Winning Try is much more than a sports drama. You...

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

Killing off major characters is often seen as a pretty cheap way of farming audience engagement.

It wouldn't be fair to claim that The Winning Try has been unserious to this point, because it had me pretty much sobbing already, but it definitely hasn't been as serious as it is in Episode 6.

While it's ostensibly a show about rugby, The Winning Try is really a show about people. And this is becoming more and more obvious as we progress, with Episode 5 being perhaps the best example of it.

Drivers, start your engines -- the Twisted Metal tournament is officially underway.

Tortured vehicular metaphors being my speciality, I'm happy to say that Twisted Metal pumps the brakes a little here in "LZGTBZY".
