‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Lucy Finally Stands Up For Herself

January 13 2026

We know Lucy and Stephen aren't going to last -- despite the fact that, even in the present day, they still can't quite leave each other alone -- but I thought their effort to do things differently in Tell Me Lies Season 3 would last more than a single episode.

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – Stephen Still Makes My Skin Crawl

January 13 2026

I'm firmly of the belief that Tell Me Lies is the most infuriating show on television, a distinction which evidently still applies in Season 3, since ten minutes into the premiere, I was ready to punch my TV.

‘Brilliant Minds’ Season 2, Episode 12 Recap – A Disappointing Step Down

January 13 2026

Guys, Brilliant Minds Season 2 might have peaked already. It was always going to be a tall order for Episode 12 to compete with one of the better outings in the show's history, but "The Rider" feels like a bit of a regressive step all the same, lacking the raw emotional sentiment of its immediate predecessor and a lot of the compelling overarching storytelling that has been threaded throughout the season.

‘The Night Manager’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Back From the Dead

January 11 2026

I've had some pretty rough hangovers, but I can't imagine how Pine is feeling in Episode 3 of The Night Manager Season 2. Then again, considering he was miraculously able to maintain his cover story despite being drunk, drugged, and lovingly nursed by a dangerous gun-runner, he probably has quite the constitution.

‘Landman’ Season 2, Episode 9 Recap – It Might Be Time for A Career Change

January 11 2026

For such a laidback show, Landman relishes chaos. There's something about the rhythm of an argument, the back and forth of problems being deliberated over and weighed up but never quite solved, that suits it. It lives in the space between problems, the snatched moments of uneasy peace until the next issue presents itself.

‘The Hunting Party’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Down the Rabbit Hole

January 10 2026

And we’re back, folks. The team is reunited in the Season 2 premiere of The Hunting Party, which is good news for fans of what was ultimately one of NBC’s better recent procedurals.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – This Show Is Really, Really Good

January 9 2026

Some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because of hype, or because they’re arriving at exactly the right time at the forefront of some new prevailing trend or another. But some TV shows get a bunch of attention and awards because they’re expertly made on every level, and The Pitt is one of those.

‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Episode 7 Recap – Revenge Is Sweet (And Messy)

January 9 2026

Well, that felt good, didn't it? Personally, I thought Achillia would get the privilege of sorting out the Brothers Ferox, but given the events of the previous episode, Korris getting his hands on them felt right. And that's kind of the point.

‘Girl Taken’ Ending Explained – A Hopeful Note Caps Off A Bleak Story

January 9 2026

Let’s be clear here: Girl Taken is a very bleak show. Refreshingly, most of its darkest details occur off-screen and are implied instead of shown,...
