‘Vanished’ Episode 1 Recap – I Mean, the Red Flags Were There, Right?

February 2 2026

You can tell that Vanished is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest, since after Episode 1, “Rosefinch”, I still couldn’t say with any real certainty that I know more about what’s going on than when I started.

February 2 2026

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The big reveal of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally arrives in Episode 3, "The Squire", and it's about time, too, since virtually everyone watching the show will have figured it out already.

February 1 2026

Unlike Christophe Gans’s first cinematic foray into the world of Silent Hill, which wasn’t based on any of the games in particular and instead pulled...

‘Return to Silent Hill’ Review – A Dreadfully Dull and Nonsensical Adaptation

February 1 2026

Back in the halcyon days when it was generally understood that every live-action adaptation of a video game would be unforgivably terrible, Christophe Gans’s 2006...

‘The Wrecking Crew’ Review – This Is Way Better Than You Probably Expected

February 1 2026

When I first heard tell of a straight-to-streaming action movie starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, I feared the worst. And it’s on Prime Video,...

‘The Night Manager’ Season 2 Ending Explained – That Isn’t What Was Supposed to Happen!

February 1 2026

Isn’t it funny how, when Season 2 began, nobody really expected or wanted a sequel to The Night Manager, and now that it’s ending, the...

Wait, So How Is ‘Wonder Man’ Connected to the MCU?

January 30 2026

Wonder Man is proudly disconnected from the broader MCU, but make no mistake about it – this is set in the same universe as the...

‘Wonder Man’ Ending Explained – The MCU’s Most Atypical Show Ends Ambiguously

January 30 2026

As if it wasn’t obvious that Wonder Man isn’t your typical MCU show, the ending should make it pretty clear. No mid-credits tease? No proper...

‘Wonder Man’ Review – A Marvel Series Without Any Superheroics… And It Works

January 30 2026

What if a Marvel series had none of the things that people have come to expect from a Marvel series? Before Wonder Man, that didn’t...

‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Episode 9 Recap – Well, I Guess the Marriage Is Off

January 30 2026

I think it's fair to say that you don't come to Spartacus: House of Ashur looking for depth of character. It's a show about copious amounts of blood and guts, full-frontal nudity -- I see you, Pompey -- and ridiculous quasi-Shakespearean dialogue.

‘The Hunting Party’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – The Cabin in the Woods

January 30 2026

The Hunting Party has been a little male-dominant in Season 2, so Episode 4 already wins some novelty points by revolving around a female spree killer. Thankfully, "Amanda Weiss" has a bit more going for it than that.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Worse Than the Worst Case

January 30 2026

I've never worked in a hospital, but I have seen one and a bit seasons of The Pitt, which I reckon is the next best thing. So, I can tell you with a reasonable degree of authority that 10:00 A.M. is where things start getting a bit nuts.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Episode 4 Recap – Something To Chew On

‘The Beauty’ Episode 4 Recap – Containment Procedures and Naked Wrestling

January 29 2026

I know it has been a while since the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world, but The Beauty clearly hasn’t forgotten the panic and paranoia...

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Definitely Improving

January 28 2026

It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 3 Recap – Haven’t We Seen This Before?

January 28 2026

Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 11 Recap – A Love Triangle Is Emerging

January 28 2026

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.
