A few hours ago

I think it’s fair to say that Spartacus: House of Ashur has earned a finale like Episode 10, “Hail Caesar”. Things haven’t been going especially well for...

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Learning on the Job

A few hours ago

Having just spent 13 consecutive hours in a hospital, I was particularly sensitive to The Pitt in "11:00 A.M.", perhaps more so than any other episode in Season 2 thus far. This is likely because Episode 5 has a strong undercurrent of time-management, or perhaps more accurately how impossible it is to manage time in a clinical setting.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Episode 5 Recap – A Coming Of Age Tale With Real Reverence for DS9

February 5 2026

If there has been a persistent complaint about modern Star Trek, it’s that it doesn’t feel very much like Star Trek of old. This accusation has been levelled at Starfleet Academy with great gusto, so it’s probably no surprise that Episode 5, “Series Acclimation Mil”, seems designed to be a deliberate counter to it.

‘The Beauty’ Episode 5 Recap – Of Course It’s the Billionaires

February 5 2026

Of course it’s the billionaires! If you were going to sell an experimental trial drug that radically rewrote your DNA for an unfeasibly large amount of money, it’d make complete sense to pitch it directly to people with more money than sense, those to whom small matters like FDA approval – you know, the rules that the plebs are bound by – are small concerns.

‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Continuing to Improve

February 4 2026

The hook of Hijack has always been a claustrophobic setting. In Season 1, it was a plane, while in Season 2, it’s a train, but ironically, this season has started to improve by expanding its viewpoint.

‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Growing Up (And Old) Gracefully

February 4 2026

‘Mo Gilligan: In the Moment’ Review – An Evolved Musical Special That’ll Be Difficult to Top

February 3 2026

Mo Gilligan is a very good comedian. It’s worth reminding people of this out of the gate, since when a very specific act makes their...

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 6 Recap – These Guys Are Growing Up (Sort Of)

February 3 2026

A themed party, a drinking game, and a lot of questionable decision-making -- at first blush, "I Don't Cry When I'm Sad Anymore" is Tell Me Lies performing precisely as advertised.

‘Brilliant Minds’ Season 2, Episode 14 Recap – Gas Leaks and Imaginary Friends

February 3 2026

You can always tell when Brilliant Minds is due to go on hiatus, since that’s when it wheels out the big guns. Season 2 hasn’t had very...

‘Vanished’ Episode 1 Recap – I Mean, the Red Flags Were There, Right?

February 2 2026

You can tell that Vanished is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest, since after Episode 1, “Rosefinch”, I still couldn’t say with any real certainty that I know more about what’s going on than when I started.

February 2 2026

‘Return to Silent Hill’ Review – A Dreadfully Dull and Nonsensical Adaptation
