February 12 2025

If nothing else, Prime Target has a sense of irony about it. The Apple TV+ "thriller" has been dumb from the beginning, but it is perhaps the most stupid in Episode 5, "House of Wisdom", which is the closest Season 1 has come to a joke.

‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 11 Recap – A Brilliant Case Study Of Why This Show Sucks

February 11 2025

If you asked me to design an episode of Poppa's House that perfectly exemplified all of the show's myriad issues, it'd look a lot like Episode 11, "Dirty Laundry".

‘The Hunting Party’ Episode 2 Recap – Formula Is Already Beginning to Creep In

Netflix’s animated spin-off The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is based on one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s most beloved short stories, “A Little Sacrifice”, from the...

‘The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep’ Review – Serviceable Spin-Off Proves Netflix Don’t Witcher Have a Clue

February 11 2025

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is mostly fine, from a casual point of view, but it also serves as a reminder that Netflix don’t...

‘Paradise’ Episode 5 Recap – Another Major Twist Caps Off A Solemn But Brilliant Outing

February 11 2025

The title of Paradise Episode 5 is taken from a line in Darkness, the hauntingly beautiful Lord Byron poem that bookends this solemn chapter of what is becoming the best TV show of a still-young year.

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 12 Recap – It’s Just Impossible to Care at This Point

February 9 2025

Given I’m professionally obligated to persist with shows long beyond their expiration dates, it isn’t a new feeling to be almost resentful of the time I spend with When the Stars Gossip.

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 11 Recap – How Are There Still Five Episodes of This Show Left?

February 8 2025

Remarkably, as of Episode 11, there are still five episodes of When the Stars Gossip remaining. What on earth are they going to be about?

‘Severance’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – A Team-Building Exercise Leads to a Big Reveal

February 7 2025

“Woe’s Hollow” is a surprisingly horror-tinged masterclass of a Severance episode, and the best of Season 2 thus far by a margin.

‘Unmasked’ Episode 7 & 8 Recap – Good Character Work Still Can’t Quite Make Things Cohere

February 6 2025

Unmasked continues to be a confounding show in Episodes 7 & 8, and it remains difficult to know what to make of it

‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Episodes 3, 4, & 5 Recap – Hey, This Is Pretty Damn Good

February 6 2025

It was obvious from the double-bill premiere that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was a pretty good show, but Episodes 3, 4, & 5 really make it clear.

‘High Potential’ Episode 12 Recap – Meaningful Character Development Improves a Mundane Mystery

February 5 2025

Episode 12, “Partners”, proves that the show is much more interesting when it’s using that as a starting point for meaningful character development.

‘Prime Target’ Episode 4 Recap – This Show About Clever People Thinks You’re Stupid

February 5 2025

With a remarkable lack of self-awareness, Apple TV+’s impressively boring thriller Prime Target bases Episode 4, “Kaplar”, around a twist so laughably obvious that when it was eventually deployed as a last-minute cliffhanger, I laughed out loud.

‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 10 Recap – That Was Almost a Decent Episode

February 4 2025

Episode 10 of Poppa’s House is so close to being a decent episode that the fact it remains pretty rubbish is genuinely frustrating.

‘Paradise’ Episode 4 Recap – Hulu’s Twisty Thriller Continues to Surprise

February 4 2025

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 10 Recap – The Return to Earth Has Not Improved the Drama

February 2 2025

As expected, Episode 10 of When the Stars Gossip brings the action back down to earth but makes some extremely questionable decisions when we get there.

‘Mayfair Witches’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – A Decent Concept Improves Things a Little

February 2 2025

I’ve been a vocal critic of Mayfair Witches Season 2 and, to be fair, I still think it’s a bit rubbish. But Episode 5, “The Thrall”, was okay!

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 9 Recap – A Daring Rescue Brings the Show’s Drama Back Down to Earth

February 1 2025

As of Episode 9, When the Stars Gossip has pretty much lost me. It’s a shame, really, since there have been so many glimmers of potential that the fact the K-Drama doesn’t seem to be cohering into anything feels like a waste.

‘Unmasked’ Episodes 5 & 6 Recap – A Late Twist Livens Things Up a Bit

January 31 2025
