TV Recaps

I've had some pretty rough hangovers, but I can't imagine how Pine is feeling in Episode 3 of The Night Manager Season 2. Then again, considering he was miraculously able to maintain his cover story despite being drunk, drugged, and lovingly nursed by a dangerous gun-runner, he probably has quite the constitution.

For such a laidback show, Landman relishes chaos. There's something about the rhythm of an argument, the back and forth of problems being deliberated over and weighed up but never quite solved, that suits it. It lives in the space between problems, the snatched moments of uneasy peace until the next issue presents itself.

And we’re back, folks. The team is reunited in the Season 2 premiere of The Hunting Party, which is good news for fans of what was ultimately one of NBC’s better recent procedurals.

Some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because of hype, or because they’re arriving at exactly the right time at the forefront of some new prevailing trend or another. But some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because they’re expertly made on every level, and The Pitt is one of those.

Well, that felt good, didn't it? Personally, I thought Achillia would get the privilege of sorting out the Brothers Ferox, but given the events of the previous episode, Korris getting his hands on them felt right. And that's kind of the point.

The morning after the night before – or, I suppose, the moments after the moments before, if you’re in a bit of a rush – is always pretty sobering.

Now we’ve passed the midpoint of His & Hers, things are getting pretty serious. The bodies are piling up, suspicions are mounting, secrets are being revealed, and, crucially, some earnest emotional sentiment is beginning to creep to the forefront.

You might be wondering at what point we're supposed to feel any kind of sympathy for the predicament the leads of His & Hers find themselves in.

If the first episode of His & Hers was about making Anna look guilty, then Episode 2 is about making Jack look equally suspicious.

His & Hers makes a point of reminding everyone that there are two sides to every story, which means someone is always lying.

High Potential is pretty good at these two-parters, isn’t it? In case you needed a refresher, Season 2’s midseason finale left Morgan with a bit of egg on her face, since it turned out she was frolicking with the prime suspect in the case of a stolen Rembrandt and the murder of a museum curator.

New Vegas was the clear selling point of Fallout Season 2, so it’s nice that in Episode 4, “The Demon in the Snow”, Lucy and the Ghoul finally arrive there.

In case you didn't know there was a finale coming up, Episode 9 of Palm Royale Season 2 makes it pretty clear.

Most shows benefit from a change of scenery, but Palm Royale benefits pretty considerably in “Maxine Hits the Slopes”.

In my recap of that powerful Eric Dane episode, I said that sometimes Brilliant Minds just decides to drop an hour of emotional torture out of nowhere.

If you didn’t know that Best Medicine was a remake of the cosy British hit Doc Martin, you’ll figure it out pretty soon into Episode 1, which is basically a carbon copy of the original show’s pilot.

I hate to say I told you so, but I did. To be fair, Brilliant Minds Season 2 hasn’t exactly been secretive about Charlie Porter’s ill intentions, and the Halloween special dropped a pretty big clue about his real motivations.

Oh, boy. Every now and again, Brilliant Minds delivers an episode like “The Fire Fighter”, seemingly just for its own sick pleasure.
