‘Pluribus’ Episode 7 Recap – The Real Horror Is Being Alone

December 12 2025

For a while, the hook of Pluribus was that Carol was completely alone. This quickly turned out to be an exaggeration. She was introduced to other English-speaking survivors almost immediately, and even made friends, sort of, with the Others themselves.

‘Merv’ Review – Proof That Dogs Improve Even Bad Movies

December 10 2025

Much like how “horror movie, but with a dog” was more than enough of an elevator pitch for Good Boy, “rom com, but with a...

‘Palm Royale’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Love Is Very Much Not in the Air

December 10 2025

You can describe Palm Royale as many things, but romantic isn’t one of them. There are lots of romances, sure, but they’re always silly, or scandalous, or transactional, which has been as true in Season 2 as it was in the first outing.

‘Down Cemetery Road’ Ending Explained – A Satisfying But Unsurprising Finale

December 10 2025

After an outing that felt like a penultimate episode but wasn’t, then a penultimate episode that felt like a finale, it’s probably only right that...

December 10 2025

‘All’s Fair’ Ending Explained – As Utterly Ridiculous As Expected

December 9 2025

‘I Love LA’ Episode 6 Recap – The Darkness Is Emerging

December 8 2025

I Love LA has been a comedy since the beginning, and it’s still a comedy in Episode 6, but only just.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 7 Recap – Two Clowns for the Price Of One

December 8 2025

Whenever people think of It, they invariably think of a scary dancing clown, but if Welcome to Derry is proving anything, it’s that Pennywise is the least of Derry’s problems.

‘Pro Bono’ Episode 1 & 2 Recap – A Familiar-Feeling Procedural With Charm

December 7 2025

Pro Bono feels like a pretty safe bet for fans of Jung Kyung-ho and the kind of weekend streaming K-Dramas that feel more like a reassuring hug than anything genuinely provocative.

‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Premiere Recap – Back Like It Never Left

December 7 2025

Spartacus: House of Ashur is a story about second chances. For one thing, it’s a return to Starz’s beloved, ridiculous historical epic, one of the shows on which the platform built its reputation for blood by the bucket-load and boobs by the barrel.

‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 4, Episode 7 Recap – A Plan Is Coming Together

December 7 2025

The old chess metaphor is pretty played out, but it's by far the most appropriate one to describe what's happening in Mayor of Kingstown Season 4.

‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 7 Recap – Things Aren’t Done Between Mickey and Travis

December 6 2025

Sheriff Country has some mixed subplots in terms of quality, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s similarly inarguable that the main thrust of it is really very good.
