Tulsa King: Stallone Makes Himself at Home

Sylvester Stallone gives Tulsa King's displaced mobster charm and menace. An entertaining crime comedy, with uneven writing and a very clear main attraction.

Fargo: Dark Humour in a Cold World

My Fargo review after watching all five seasons: dark humour, memorable performances and the question on the poster I have on my wall.

Escape at Dannemora: Boredom Is a Dangerous Thing

The Att reviews Escape at Dannemora: Patricia Arquette steals a gripping prison drama built on great writing, restless lives and institutional complacency.

Suburra: Blood on Rome — A City Worth Fighting Over

Suburra combines Roman beauty, criminal ambition and an absorbing central friendship. One of the strongest recommendations for fans of subtitled crime drama.

1923: The Duttons Have Something to Lose

My review of both seasons of 1923: Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and a sweeping Yellowstone prequel that earns its place beside 1883.

The Offer: Making a Film Nobody Could Agree On

The Offer turns the making of The Godfather into hugely enjoyable Hollywood drama, led by Miles Teller, Matthew Goode and Juno Temple.
