‘Cross’ Season 2 Review – Aldis Hodge Shines Again in Prime Video’s Dependable, Unremarkable Thriller

February 11 2026

This is pretty reductive to say, and I’ll obviously expand on it, but the truth about Cross Season 2 is essentially this – if you...

‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Down to the Wire

February 11 2026

Honesty is the best policy, or so the saying goes, but I'm not sure Sam Nelson would agree. Throughout Season 2 of Hijack, he has been pretty understandably cagey, all the better to sell the inverted premise of Apple TV+'s claustrophobic thriller.

‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – New Beginnings and Coming Ends

February 11 2026

There's a fine line between happiness and crippling trauma. It's a line that Shrinking has tiptoed along beautifully since the beginning, and never more so than in Season 3, which has an inescapable spectre looming over it that it won't allow us to forget.

‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 4 Recap – I Think I Know Who the Ferryman Is

February 10 2026

Things are really starting to heat up in Memory of a Killer now. If Episode 3 was all about teasing out Angelo’s worsening Alzheimer’s issues, making vague hints about who the Ferryman might be and who might be double-crossing whom, Episode 4, “Unhappy Ending”, is about fleshing those lingering suspicions out into full-blown theories.

‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 3 Recap – Getting Too Close to Home

February 10 2026

I do like Memory of a Killer, and I think it has a fundamentally great premise, but you can feel it wearing a little bit in Episode 3, “Samurai”. This is partly the fault of Angelo himself, who is rather in denial about his worsening memory issues and keeps neglecting them, making his already complicated situation even worse.

‘Katt Williams: The Last Report’ Review – You Are Now Watching A Master At Work

February 10 2026

Katt Williams is one of the finest comedians who has ever lived, and his longevity has proved that better than I can. But in recent...

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 7 Recap – Everyone Is Deeply Awful

February 10 2026

Yeah, yeah, I know. Tell Me Lies is about highly dysfunctional people doing deeply deplorable things. Always has been. But even by those standards, Season 3 has...

‘Drops of God’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – A Trip to Georgia and a Touch of Danger

February 9 2026

No dog chasing a car ever stopped to consider what it might do if it caught it, and similarly, Camille and Issei never really thought...

‘Vanished’ Episode 2 Recap – I’m Not Sure I’m Buying This, Folks

February 8 2026

Things seemed bad enough for Alice Monroe. Her boyfriend, Tom, was not only afraid of commitment, but also missing. And she couldn’t seem to trust anyone she met to help her, which, in a show titled Vanished is kind of expected, but nonetheless constitutes a problem.

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Episode 4 Recap – A Gloomy Recruitment Drive

February 6 2026

In its limited screentime thus far, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has done a pretty remarkable job of communicating a much more hopeful tone than you’d necessarily expect from a show set in the same brutal universe as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 5 Recap – The Thing Is Nothing (And Other Revelations)

February 6 2026

There are a lot of good ideas in “Eyes Without a Face”. It's the first proper out-of-office hour of Industry Season 4, which is always nice, sending two underused characters to a far-flung location on a side mission that rattles the foundations of the main plot.

‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Ending Explained – That’s How You Do A Finale

February 6 2026

I think it’s fair to say that Spartacus: House of Ashur has earned a finale like Episode 10, “Hail Caesar”. Things haven’t been going especially well for...

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Learning on the Job

February 6 2026

Having just spent 13 consecutive hours in a hospital, I was particularly sensitive to The Pitt in "11:00 A.M.", perhaps more so than any other episode in Season 2 thus far. This is likely because Episode 5 has a strong undercurrent of time-management, or perhaps more accurately how impossible it is to manage time in a clinical setting.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Episode 5 Recap – A Coming Of Age Tale With Real Reverence for DS9

February 5 2026

If there has been a persistent complaint about modern Star Trek, it’s that it doesn’t feel very much like Star Trek of old. This accusation has been levelled at Starfleet Academy with great gusto, so it’s probably no surprise that Episode 5, “Series Acclimation Mil”, seems designed to be a deliberate counter to it.

‘The Beauty’ Episode 5 Recap – Of Course It’s the Billionaires

February 5 2026

Of course it’s the billionaires! If you were going to sell an experimental trial drug that radically rewrote your DNA for an unfeasibly large amount of money, it’d make complete sense to pitch it directly to people with more money than sense, those to whom small matters like FDA approval – you know, the rules that the plebs are bound by – are small concerns.

‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Continuing to Improve

February 4 2026

The hook of Hijack has always been a claustrophobic setting. In Season 1, it was a plane, while in Season 2, it’s a train, but ironically, this season has started to improve by expanding its viewpoint.

‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Growing Up (And Old) Gracefully

February 4 2026

I’ll be the first to admit that Shrinking Season 3 started so well that it’s basically impossible for the remaining episodes to consistently hit those heights.

‘Fallout’ Season 2 Ending Explained – Setting the Stage For Season 3

February 4 2026

People haven’t been especially keen on Season 2 of Fallout, for some reasons that make a degree of sense and some that don’t, but it’s...

‘Mo Gilligan: In the Moment’ Review – An Evolved Musical Special That’ll Be Difficult to Top

February 3 2026

Mo Gilligan is a very good comedian. It’s worth reminding people of this out of the gate, since when a very specific act makes their...

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 6 Recap – These Guys Are Growing Up (Sort Of)

February 3 2026

A themed party, a drinking game, and a lot of questionable decision-making -- at first blush, "I Don't Cry When I'm Sad Anymore" is Tell Me Lies performing precisely as advertised.
