    Netflix’s hit series about a stalker is more than meets the eye.

  • Dog-friendly is just fine, but human-friendly is better

    Nothing says ‘cosy pub’ like an old labrador dozing beneath a wooden table, but when that dog is exceptionally flatulent, it certainly does change the atmosphere. Even little dogs can be problematic. A few weeks ago a friend and I met at just such a warm and welcoming hostelry. While we perused the menu, a lady appeared with one of those handbag sized dogs, which she popped down. It promptly made for the very centre of the room and I think you can guess what happened next. It may have been tiny,...

  • A Condition Called Love ‒ SERIES PREMIERE

    At best, Hananoi comes off as incredibly codependent and unable to recognize someone setting a clear set of boundaries. At worst, this guy has all the charisma of a potential serial killer.

  • Fallout recap: "The One Where Matt Berry Plays A Very Polite Dissection Robot"

    [Editor’s note: This is a recap of Fallout episode four. The recap of episode five publishes April 16.] In talking about Prime Video’s Fallout over these last four episodes, we’ve largely skipped over its merits as Hollywood’s latest big, expensive video-game adaptation.
