“Ozark” Season 2 rides a wave of pure competence. And yet “competent” is not always praise.

“Insatiable” feels like a dozen different and equally bewildering shows happening all at once.

The Netflix series from “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening shows promise, but needs to give its medieval characters room to grow.

Even though the show’s occasional dips into magical realism can be welcome breaks, it’s never clear what it’s trying to do.

Baz Luhrmann’s iconic, trippy movie comes to the stage with its grandeur and craziness intact.

Graft some hits from the Go-Go’s songbook onto an Elizabethan prose poem and you get a lot of silly stuff.

A musical take on the Bard offers the spirit of community, a lesson in gender identity and an infectious good time.

In this patriotic fable, it’s hard not to see a resemblance to the White House’s real-life occupant.

Nicki Minaj’s 19-track “Queen” is epic and overstuffed, but stands as her best and boldest album to date.

Listening to “Scorpion” feels less like taking a journey than circling around and around on a cul-de-sac in a luxurious gated community.

How does Beyonce and Jay-Z’s “Everything Is Love” rate as an album? Solid and generally satisfying, but not the best from either.

On Christina Aguilera’s “Liberation,” it’s clear she wants to move further toward hip-hop … and that she isn’t missing “The Voice,” at all.
