After a phenomenal first season, we’ve all been anxiously awaiting the season two premiere of Killing Eve. Will it live up to the hype, or will it struggle to maintain its momentum? Will it continue to keep us on the edge of our seats, or will it go hopelessly off the rails after showing so…

I get sad on New Years. It happens, every year, without fail – December 31st through January 1st, I’m depressed, even by morose, goth standards. Through a very long history of this, there has been one thing that reliably makes me feel better and damn near human (a generally preferable way to start a year,…

To turn any beloved cult property – a book, a movie, a video game – into a tv show is an act that falls squarely between needlessly risky and wildly arrogant. There is so much that can go wrong. You are already assuming the participation of fans who are traditionally more militant than most, and…
