There are times in a TV critic’s life when a series to which they are assigned inspires them to write reams of text, sometimes because said series is good, sometimes because it’s bad. Then there is what I like to call critic purgatory, when the series inspires nothing. Neither impressive nor dreadful, the series is adrift in the doldrums of artistry.

The bromidic particulars: British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton (Suranne Jones) is dealing with…

Jack Roslovic and Vitali Kravtsov Thomas Drance of The Athletic: Now, the speculation of Jack Roslovic has gone on all summer. He is now 28 ahead of this year’s training camp. Also, the wait has seemingly gone on forever. Naturally, speculation will trend upward as September finally approaches. Already, several teams have inquired again. Vancouver is one of the teams along with the Toronto Maple Leafs and even the New York Rangers. Now, that fairly straightforward. The tendency for things to go a bit sideways is also not surprising.
