‘Wonder Man’ Ending Explained – The MCU’s Most Atypical Show Ends Ambiguously

January 30 2026

As if it wasn’t obvious that Wonder Man isn’t your typical MCU show, the ending should make it pretty clear. No mid-credits tease? No proper...

‘Wonder Man’ Review – A Marvel Series Without Any Superheroics… And It Works

January 30 2026

What if a Marvel series had none of the things that people have come to expect from a Marvel series? Before Wonder Man, that didn’t...

‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Episode 9 Recap – Well, I Guess the Marriage Is Off

January 30 2026

I think it's fair to say that you don't come to Spartacus: House of Ashur looking for depth of character. It's a show about copious amounts of blood and guts, full-frontal nudity -- I see you, Pompey -- and ridiculous quasi-Shakespearean dialogue.

‘The Hunting Party’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – The Cabin in the Woods

January 30 2026

The Hunting Party has been a little male-dominant in Season 2, so Episode 4 already wins some novelty points by revolving around a female spree killer. Thankfully, "Amanda Weiss" has a bit more going for it than that.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Worse Than the Worst Case

January 30 2026

I've never worked in a hospital, but I have seen one and a bit seasons of The Pitt, which I reckon is the next best thing. So, I can tell you with a reasonable degree of authority that 10:00 A.M. is where things start getting a bit nuts.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Episode 4 Recap – Something To Chew On

January 29 2026

The Klingons are one of the few alien races that even non-Star Trek fans have generally heard of. But the pop understanding is generally pretty simplistic – big-headed, angry warmongers, lots of makeup, deep voices.

‘The Beauty’ Episode 4 Recap – Containment Procedures and Naked Wrestling

January 29 2026

I know it has been a while since the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world, but The Beauty clearly hasn’t forgotten the panic and paranoia...

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Definitely Improving

January 28 2026

It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 3 Recap – Haven’t We Seen This Before?

January 28 2026

Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 11 Recap – A Love Triangle Is Emerging

January 28 2026

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.

‘Fallout’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – Canadians, Deathclaws, and Severed Heads

January 28 2026

The more I think about Fallout Season 2, the more I think I understand why it can’t quite reach the heights it’s capable of reaching, even when it’s pretty good.

‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – The Train Has Left the Station

January 28 2026

The train has finally left the station, so to speak. In this case, the train is Hijack, and the station is Season 2, in case that wasn't clear.

‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – The Best Show On TV Is Back

January 28 2026

Over the years, I've said some pretty hyperbolic stuff about Shrinking. Fair warning: That isn't going to change in Season 3.

‘Drops of God’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – That’s A Lot Of Wine

January 28 2026

Every time I watch Drops of God, I'm surprised again by how engaging it is. And it's about wine! I don't even drink wine; I don't understand or appreciate anything about it, yet I'm endlessly fascinated by everything that happens in this show.

‘Mike Epps: Delusional’ Review – A Full Career Retrospective On Fast-Forward

January 27 2026

You know where you stand with a Mike Epps special. He has been around for long enough that you know what to expect, and he...

‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 2 Recap – The Net Is Already Tightening

January 27 2026

Memory of a Killer has one of those premises that just resonates, which is probably why it has been adapted and remade so many times.

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 5 Recap – The Dysfunction Is At An All Time High

January 27 2026

Well, yikes. Just in case you thought Tell Me Lies wasn't uncomfortable enough to watch already, Episode 5 of Season 3, rather fetchingly titled "I'd Like to Hold Her Head Underwater", takes things up a notch.

‘Brilliant Minds’ Season 2, Episode 13 Recap – AI Is the Problem (Again)

January 27 2026

It used to be that zombies and Nazis were the most overdone, uncomplicated villains in media, but AI is definitely threatening to catch up.

‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 1 Recap – A Functional Pilot Shows Promise

January 26 2026

You might have a memory of Memory of a Killer, a Belgian novel that became a Belgian movie and was remade with Liam Neeson in 2022 under the simpler title Memory. If you don’t, Episode 1 will give you a familiar feeling either way.

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 3 Recap – Back to Business

January 26 2026

If Henry and Yasmin's extremely toxic and bizarre marital life constituted a bit of a break for Industry Season 4, then Episode 3, "Habseligkeiten", is HBO's drama getting back to business.
