When a TV show creates a promotion that obscures the true nature of the story they are telling, it can be a gamble. It can pay off spectacularly - like Hulu’s Paradise (sci-fi emotional drama disguised as a political thriller) - or in the case of DTF St Louis, it can...

TV in 2025 has been a mixed bag. Mostly that's because a lot of our favourite shows or shows we'd been anticipating didn't live up to our expectations. Notably, the second season of The Last Of Us, I'm still not sure what happened there. The third season of The White...

This is incredibly awkward. I have to start this review by confessing to something. In my review for the first episode, I omitted what is clearly a hugely important plot point going forward. Robbie (Tom Pelphrey) isn't randomly scoping out these trap houses owned by...

The final episode of The Last of Us season 2 follows on from where episode 5 left off. While spending extended time with Ellie (Bella Ramsay) and Joel was nice, making their flashback the penultimate episode meant that any momentum built by Ellie's risky journey...

The first fifteen minutes or so of The Last of Us season 2 are quite discombobulating, even for someone who enjoyed the first. The long gaps between seasons of television is making it increasingly harder to remember where you left things with these characters. It soon...
What will happen today?” These are the words of the monk overlaying the opening scenes and match my own as I awaited the final episode of the season. He continues, “There is no resolution,”, at which point I started to panic, having spent seven hours investing in...
