TV Recaps

High Potential is an above-average procedural at the best of times, and that has been evident pretty regularly in Season 2. But only rarely does...

I’m not sure about “The Other Player”, truth be told. One has to wonder whether Fallout Season 2 really needs an episode like this so...

Just in case you thought Drops of God might have lost a step in the almost three years it has been away, just peep the opening scene...

If you were worried about Hijack Season 2, and there was reason to be given its relatively tame premiere, then Episode 2, “Control”, should hopefully provide a...

Tell Me Lies Season 3 is already darker and more thoughtful than previous seasons, but it still works in more or less the same way. It's about awful people doing awful things to each other.

Blimey, where to start? Industry doesn't do episodes like "The Commander and the Grey Lady" very often, since it's usually too firmly rooted in the real world -- albeit the grimmest corners of it -- to indulge in visions and metaphor.

Let's be totally clear here -- despite being set in the same brutal universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms really is nothing like Game of Thrones. And that's a good thing!

After three episodes of The Night Manager’s second season gradually morphing back into its first, Episode 4 makes that cycle of renewal feel complete.

I’ve always said that The Hunting Party does a good job of coming up with eerie concepts for its killers, and I’m glad to see this hasn’t diminished in Season 2.

If there’s anything The Pitt consistently makes me think about – and, to be clear, it generally makes me think about a lot of different things, not least “is that a prosthesis?!” – it’s how hospitals are even able to run at all. The intake is never-ending.

I was fairly sure I was going to hate Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Who can blame me? In Episode 1, “Kids These Days”, first impressions aren’t great, and kids these days seem to be the problem.

Good news! I think Episode 2 of Best Medicine is definitely better than the premiere, which is a good sign.

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 has returned to its standard case-of-the-week procedural format, with most of Episode 9, “Under the Rug”, proceeding as if the events of the solid second half of the art thief two-parter never happened.

Who’s being wrangled in “The Wrangler”? It’s more a case of what’s being wrangled, honestly, and the answer is pretty much every knotty plot thread that Fallout has been untangling in Season 2.

Let's be clear -- the premiere of Hijack Season 2 only works because it's called Hijack and, after the first season, we know what to expect.

I’m not averse to surprises, but I have to admit I’ve had better ones than this. Tell Me Lies was already squirm-inducingly awkward in Season 3, but Episode 3, “Repent”, takes it to new levels of self-loathing depravity and self-destructive behaviour.

We know Lucy and Stephen aren't going to last -- despite the fact that, even in the present day, they still can't quite leave each other alone -- but I thought their effort to do things differently in Tell Me Lies Season 3 would last more than a single episode.

I'm firmly of the belief that Tell Me Lies is the most infuriating show on television, a distinction which evidently still applies in Season 3, since ten minutes into the premiere, I was ready to punch my TV.
