‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 2 Recap – A Truly Demented Hour Of TV

January 19 2026

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – I Hope That Was A Prosthesis

January 16 2026

If there’s anything The Pitt consistently makes me think about – and, to be clear, it generally makes me think about a lot of different things, not least “is that a prosthesis?!” – it’s how hospitals are even able to run at all. The intake is never-ending.

January 14 2026

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 has returned to its standard case-of-the-week procedural format, with most of Episode 9, “Under the Rug”, proceeding as if the events of the solid second half of the art thief two-parter never happened.

‘Fallout’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Who Wrangles the Wranglers?

January 14 2026
