Carol has been a reliable but underutilized presence in Brilliant Minds thus far, so it’s nice that Season 1, Episode 11, “The Other Woman”, puts her firmly...

It’s easy to forget how good Yellowstone was at its peak because Season 5 is euthanizing it in record time. I suppose that’s grimly ironic...

Dune: Prophecy is a lot better when Desmond Hart is around, isn’t it? I suggested that in my recap of the previous episode, which brushed...

The premiere of Earth Abides was, in a word, bleak. And that set my expectations for Episode 2, “The Space Between”, which to be fair...

“Where Is Home” is one of those episodes you sometimes get in a Taylor Sheridan show where everything just goes to Hell. And Landman needed to go...

I’m still not convinced by The Agency. In Season 1, Episode 3, “Hawk From A Handsaw”, it gets so gratingly serious and so obvious and...

In most shows, Rebecca Ferguson doing an extended high-pressure underwater sequence like it’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation all over again would be the standout...

Before hasn’t exactly been riveting throughout, but Episode 8 is a collection of its very worst qualities. Running under 25 minutes, delivering no new information,...

Welcome, says the two-part premiere of Creature Commandos, to the new DC Universe. Well, new-ish, I suppose. Season 1, Episodes 1 and 2 of Max’s...

Ending an espionage thriller conclusively is almost impossible, so you have to respect the effort Black Doves goes to in order to tie Season 1...

Whenever I do my obligatory promotion of these recaps, I usually mention in a casual way that Shrinking is one of the best shows on TV. I...

“Boom” is about Eva in the same way that “Person of Interest” was about Becka. This is to say that Eva’s problems are foregrounded a...

Poppa’s House has an uncanny ability to make 20 minutes feel like an hour, and nowhere is that more true than in Episode 6, “Family...

It’s official – Get Millie Black is really good. It was obvious after the premiere but Episode 2, which valuably switches perspective to better hone...

The debut of any Star Wars project is fraught with peril these days since The Discourse™ is inevitable and certain to be embarrassing. I can’t...

Crushing It is Fortune Feimster’s third solo Netflix special after Sweet and Salty and Good Fortune, and while I’m not quite sure it’s the best...

Episode 10 of Brilliant Minds is about pain, in ways both obvious and not. “The First Responder” as a title is misleading. Sure, one of...

“Counting Coup” is partly a dumb episode of Yellowstone and partly a great one. Based on how the back half of Season 5 has proceeded...
