‘Girl from Nowhere: The Reset’ Episode 3 Recap – A Muddled Message Makes For A Weak Outing
I haven’t exactly been complimentary of the first couple of episodes of Girl from Nowhere: The Reset, but after Episode 3, I wish we could go...
‘The Madison’ Episode 5 Recap – This Is the Angry Stage of the Grieving Process
To be honest, I was expecting Paul and Preston’s funeral to be sadder. This isn’t a criticism, though. The Madison has delivered enough sadness already,...
‘The Madison’ Episode 4 Recap – A Surprisingly Nuanced and Effective Display of Grief
I’ve had my fair share of problems with The Madison thus far, but I have no shame in admitting that Episode 4, “Tomorrow is Goodbye”,...
‘American Classic’ Episode 4 Recap – Maybe There’s Hope After All
Hey, I liked this one! American Classic is always going to feel like something of an acquired taste given its esoteric essential nature, but Episode...
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – These People Are So Dull
I’ve long since given up trying to figure out what The Last Thing He Told Me is doing with this story in Season 2, so...
‘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. "Trespass" doesn't quite have the character depth of the previous installment, and the flashbacks have almost entirely dried up now that we've established how Titan X connects to Santa Soledad and, of course, what happened between Lee and Keiko.
‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 11 Recap – Ice Saves A Life, and ICE Risks One
A lot can happen in two hours. Nobody is learning this quicker than the staff at PTMC, who keep reminding everyone that they're only a couple of hours away from the end of what has been a veritable shift from hell. But we're not there 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...
‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ Episode 5 Recap – This Show Is Very Good
I’ve seen some mixed opinions on Episode 5 of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, so let me just throw mine into the mix...
‘DMV’ Episode 13 Recap – This Might Be the Best One Yet
“Test Drive” might be the best episode of DMV yet. It’s a close-run thing, granted, largely because most of these instalments are of roughly equivalent...
‘DMV’ Episode 12 Recap – A Guest-Starring Anna Camp Steals the Show
DMV always being better when a guest star is involved kind of proves my point that it’s at its best when it focuses on anything...
‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 7 Recap – The Walls Are Closing In Rapidly
Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse for Angelo in Memory of a Killer, Episode 7 comes along. “Dr. Parks” is the first...
‘Marshals’ Episode 3 Recap – Progress Is A Bad Word In Montana
“Progress” is a nebulous term at the best of times, especially given the wavering politics of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, so it’s little surprise that Marshals...
‘Rooster’ Episode 2 Recap – Wonderfully Consistent Comedy, Questionable Drama
Steve Carell made a handy focal point for Rooster, and his reluctant bumbling is what helped to situate us at Ludlow and get a sense...
‘Paradise’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – So Jane Has Always Been Bonkers
Paradise has always been resistant to the idea of a simple antagonist. We’ve seen this play out a number of times with even the show’s...
‘DTF St. Louis’ Episode 3 Recap – This Show Is Better and Weirder Than We Thought
DTF. St Louis has been pretty good since it started. Odd, sure, and unconventional enough for its ultimate destination to feel sometimes worryingly elusive. In...
