‘All’s Fair’ Episode 5 Recap – Did Carrington Lane Really Need Humanizing?

November 18 2025

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

‘I Love LA’ Episode 3 Recap – A Lesson In Crisis Mismanagement

November 17 2025

I’m not the type to ever be caught in the heart of a scandal – unless there’s a group of people somewhere who really care...

‘The Chair Company’ Episode 6 Recap – Misplaced Focus Creates A Step Down

November 17 2025

The Chair Company isn’t getting worse in any meaningful sense, but I think Episode 6, “Happy Birthday, a friend”, is the point where it has reached the outer limit of how much great throwaways and weird juxtapositions alone can sustain it.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 4 Recap – How Nasty Can This Show Get?

November 17 2025

It’s hard to critique It: Welcome to Derry. It has been since the beginning, really. On the level of its broad storytelling, it leaves a lot to be desired, with two pretty ill-fitting concurrent storylines playing out simultaneously, and little overlap as yet.

‘Typhoon Family’ Episode 12 Recap – Has This Show Lost Its Way?

November 16 2025

Sixteen episodes is too many, isn’t it? I don’t mean all of the time, but generally speaking, especially for a K-Drama running 65-75 minutes per outing.

‘Billy the Kid’ Season 3, Episode 7 Recap – We’re Rewriting History

November 16 2025

The penultimate ever episode of Billy the Kid feels pretty unmistakably like a side quest.

‘Robin Hood’ Episode 4 Recap – Fleshing Out the Ranks

November 16 2025

A pretty big deal is made about the forest in Episode 4 of Robin Hood. Norman military might has no answer for it.

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Episode 5 Recap – Splitting the Difference

November 16 2025

When Talamasca: The Secret Order started, it was quite enjoyably serious.

‘Landman’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – And There’s Still No Plot

November 16 2025

‘Tulsa King’ Season 3, Episode 9 Recap – Hey, Look, It’s Samuel L. Jackson

November 16 2025

“Dead Weight” is the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3, but it doesn’t feel like it.

‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 4, Episode 4 Recap – The Calm Before the Storm

November 16 2025

There has been quite a lot of death in Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 thus far.

‘Typhoon Family’ Episode 11 Recap – Government Contracts Aren’t Much Fun

November 15 2025

The last thing Typhoon Family needed was to get drier, but here we are in Episode 11, “Tomorrow Comes Love”, with Tae-poong trying to secure a government contract.

‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 5 Recap – Everything About This Show Works

November 15 2025

People are sleeping on Sheriff Country. I’m not suggesting it’s secretly a prestige drama or anything, but as far as procedurals go, it’s really a very fine version of that oh-so-familiar format, and I think you can see it quite clearly in Episode 5, “Expecting Trouble”.

‘Boston Blue’ Episode 5 Recap – Thank Goodness, People Aren’t Getting On

November 15 2025

You see how much difference a bit of disagreement makes? For all its strengths as a procedural, this is the one area where Boston Blue...

‘Malice’ Ending Explained – Sometimes the Villains Get to Win

November 14 2025

In most shows, the finale of Malice would constitute a happy ending. The pampered, privileged family is taken to task for their selfishness, after all,...

‘Malice’ Review – Somehow, Jack Whitehall’s First Dramatic Role Really Works

November 14 2025

‘Pluribus’ Episode 3 Recap – Taking A Breather (And Setting Off Explosives)

November 14 2025

Well, I think it’s safe to say that the launch of Apple TV+’s Pluribus was quite the success. Its deeply mysterious two-episode premiere was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews and word of mouth, despite a degree of hype I rarely recall seeing in recent times.

‘The Last Frontier’ Episode 7 Recap – There’s A Pretty Big Problem Here

November 14 2025

In many ways, “Change of Time” is the most significant episode of The Last Frontier thus far. It’s the one with the big reveal about Frank’s past, including the meaning behind the gun he’s keeping hidden in that copy of Walter Coates’s Alaska.

‘Last Samurai Standing’ Ending Explained – How the Action-Packed Finale Sets Up Season 2

November 13 2025

Nowhere are the intentions of Last Samurai Standing – Netflix’s fusion of Squid Game and Shogun – clearer than in its ending, which completely abandons...
