You could write what I know about American Football — even calling it football makes me wince — on the back of a postcard, but...

The Winning Try doesn't have much rugby in it, which is surprising for a show ostensibly about the sport, so it says a lot about the underlying quality of this K-Drama that I'm starting to wonder whether it even needs it.

The Winning Try never ceases to amaze me. After the premiere suggested we had a great show on our hands, and the second episode proved that quality...

Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen. Twisted Metal is back for Season 2, and it’s bigger and better than ever. This might not be immediately apparent in...

Two years after Season 1 turned out to be surprisingly good, and thirty years after the debut of the long-abandoned PlayStation series on which it’s...

There’s a concept in professional wrestling – or “sports entertainment”, whatever you prefer – known as “kayfabe”. In simple terms, it’s the idea of keeping...

Bucking the trend of video game adaptations being woeful, Peacock’s Twisted Metal was a good time. This is especially surprising considering it was based on...

When Santi’s dad turned up in the penultimate episode, I think everyone knew that Stick was venturing into predictable territory just in time for its ending. And...

I could not help but have a slight smile during my screening of F1 The Movie, seeing fans donning outfits for their favourite motor racing...

I get it now. Stick has been an incredibly mixed bag so far, with a derivative vibe, two-dimensional characters, and diminishing charms.

I caught myself thinking during Episode 4 that Stick has made a pretty fundamental miscalculation.

It’s impossible to talk about Stick without mentioning Ted Lasso, since the rubric for beloved sports comedies was defined by AFC Richmond’s adventures on Apple TV+.

Well, we’d better be careful with this one, folks. You can say a lot about Brett Favre, but at least you can’t accuse him of...

Having thought about it a bit, I’m still not sure whether Football Parents has a happy ending or not. I suppose it depends on who...

I am, for my sins, a football parent, so there’s a lot I find familiar about the Dutch Netflix comedy Football Parents. The general inability...

It wouldn’t quite be accurate to call Untold: Shooting Guards a tale of two halves, but it’s pretty close. At a certain point in the...
