‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – New Faces, Old Problems
Your Friends & Neighbors returns for Season 2 with a reassuring premiere, since most of Episode 1, “We’re Here Until We’re Not”, is a reminder that no matter how much things have changed on the surface, they’re still going to remain more or less the same.
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – A Tale of Two Hotels
I don't typically do this, but allow me to share with you Apple TV+'s official logline for Episode 7 of The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2.
‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – Oops, Wrong Number
Just in case you were worried that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters might not commit to Hiroshi's death, fear not -- he's very much dead. You can't escape the spectre of his loss in the opening scenes of "Requiem", and it's clearly going to be an event that informs the rest of Season 2 going forward.
‘Imperfect Women’ Episode 4 Recap – A Welcome Change Of Perspective
Imperfect Women has very much been about Nancy since the beginning, which has made it a little awkward that she was killed off in the...
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 10 Recap – Jimmy Is Making Things Morbid

‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 9 Recap – Harrison Ford Steals the Show
Even at its worst, Shrinking is still better than most dramedies... ever, really, which is pretty high praise. Season 3 has already threatened to fall into a bit of a holding pattern once or twice, and it does so again for most of Episode 9, which is titled "Daddy Issues" because it finally finds Jimmy's dad, Randy, sticking around for a full episode.

‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Heists Are Always Fun
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn't been slacking in Season 2, but I still think Episode 4 is the best of this run yet.

‘Imperfect Women’ Episode 2 Recap – These Two Are Rotten
Episode 2 of Imperfect Women is built around the most obvious “twist” in the history of television, but if we’re being charitable, I’d suggest that the whole thing isn’t intended as a twist as much as a grim inevitability.
‘Imperfect Women’ Episode 1 Recap – I Don’t Think This Is How People Grieve
You can’t have a TV friendship without one of you dying. Those are just the rules, I think, and at least in Episode 1, Apple TV+’s Imperfect Women operates on the assumption that murder isn’t surprising to anyone, least of all the audience.
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 8 Recap – Boundaries and Bad First Dates
It’s a testament to how consistently well-written the characters in Shrinking are that the broad sweep of “Depression Diet” is obvious, even when the episode...
