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’ Season 1, Episode 12 Recap – Meaningful Character Development Improves a Mundane Mystery

‘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

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’ Season 1, Episode 4 Recap – Hulu’s Twisty Thriller Continues to Surprise

February 4 2025

“It’s the not knowing.” This is a line repeated a few times in Season 1, Episode 4 of Paradise. In context, it’s about the difficulties...

‘Bogota: City of the Lost’ Review – What if ‘Scarface’ Was Korean and Rubbish?

February 3 2025

If you wanted a Korean take on Narcos you could always stream Narco-Saints on Netflix, which isn’t very good but would probably do the job...

‘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

I haven’t exactly been coy about not knowing quite what to make of Unmasked, and I was more undecided than ever throughout most of Episodes 5 and 6 until a late twist at the end of the latter gave the Disney+ K-Drama a jolt of energy.

‘The Recruit’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Owen and Jang Kyun Try to Negotiate with the Yakuza

January 30 2025

I have no idea if Owen Hendricks is a good lawyer because in two seasons of The Recruit, he hasn’t practiced any law. I don’t even think he has slept for more than five minutes, but he’s so utterly indispensable to the CIA that it’s amazing how often they keep trying to kill and/or discredit him.

‘The Recruit’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – The Scale and Severity of the Threat Are Revealed

January 30 2025

Episode 3 of The Recruit Season 2, “H.H.I.I.T.K.A.L.”, finally makes the scale and the severity of the threat against the CIA clear. Now that it’s...
