On paper, Criminal Record, AppleTV+’s new crime thriller, sounds like a sure bet. The series, which twists and turns through a rehashing of a past murder investigation that might have landed the wrong man in prison, stars the exceptional pairing of Peter Capaldi in the role of grizzled elder Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty and […]
Slow Horses, the British spy series that has, calmly and quietly, becomes the best thing on AppleTV+ by a mile, is back for another round of intrigue and head-shaking screw-ups as the team of Slough House try to outsmart their latest adversaries and try not to take down all of MI5 with them. If you’ve […]
Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer a quick note regarding my past experience with Godzilla-related media. I’ve never seen a single Godzilla film (or King Kong, or any other giant monster wreaks havoc on mankind film). So, while I will absolutely tell it like it is when it comes to the […]
I think we can all agree that season three of For All Mankind took a massive step back in storytelling acumen following the pretty darn perfect second season of the series (which, for my money, remains one of the best seasons of television in recent memory, save for one misstep – which, in turn, led […]
For the initial six episodes of Lessons in Chemistry’s eight-episode run, I found myself disappointed by the series. The performances – namely star Brie Larson’s turn as Elizabeth Zott, the writing (the series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name), and the structure of the series as a whole all felt off.

A few episodes into The Changeling, the new AppleTV+ adaptation of the novel of the same name, I didn’t know quite what to make of the series. Was it the story of new parents, torn asunder by a horrific bout of post-partum depression? Was it a horror story of a child that wasn’t a child, […]
When I reviewed the first season of AppleTV+’s big IP series Foundation back in 2021, my main criticism was that the series didn’t take the time to ground its narrative and develop its characters, choosing instead to churn through centuries of plot in at attempt to give us an understanding of this world but less […]
If you’re a suspect in one murder case during your life, that’s bad luck, but to have it happen a second time? Well, then it might be something about the company you keep. But that’s the situation Aniq (Sam Richardson) and Zoë (Zoë Chao) find themselves in in season two of AppleTV+’s The Afterparty. The […]
Hijack, the new thriller from AppleTV+, isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with its story. After all, it gives away the main hook of the narrative in its title. But with a cast lead by Idris Elba, I was hoping that the series would turn out to be more than a run-of-the-mill hijacking story and […]
It’s rare that I get angry while watching a series, but I was definitely angry whilst watching The Crowded Room, the new mystery box drama from AppleTV+. Now, over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out twists and turns in shows. Part of that comes from having to watch so much television for […]
