‘Down Cemetery Road’ Episode 5 Recap – There’s A Lot Less to Laugh About

November 19 2025

Streaming’s a mixed bag, isn’t it? While Netflix is over here releasing Marine Corps recruitment propaganda in the guise of documentaries, Apple TV+ is teasing out a show in which the British government tested chemical weapons on its own troops.

‘The Morning Show’ Season 4 Ending Explained – A Surprisingly Tidy Conclusion

‘All’s Fair’ Episode 5 Recap – Did Carrington Lane Really Need Humanizing?

November 18 2025

Until now, Sarah Paulson's Carrington Lane has been by far the best part of All's Fair. This is largely because she has been an overblown cartoon villain without a trace of redeemability, which puts Episode 5, "This Is Me Trying", in an awkward position.

November 17 2025

I’m not the type to ever be caught in the heart of a scandal – unless there’s a group of people somewhere who really care...

‘The Chair Company’ Episode 6 Recap – Misplaced Focus Creates A Step Down

November 17 2025

The Chair Company isn’t getting worse in any meaningful sense, but I think Episode 6, “Happy Birthday, a friend”, is the point where it has reached the outer limit of how much great throwaways and weird juxtapositions alone can sustain it.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 4 Recap – How Nasty Can This Show Get?

November 17 2025

It’s hard to critique It: Welcome to Derry. It has been since the beginning, really. On the level of its broad storytelling, it leaves a lot to be desired, with two pretty ill-fitting concurrent storylines playing out simultaneously, and little overlap as yet.

‘Typhoon Family’ Episode 12 Recap – Has This Show Lost Its Way?

November 16 2025

Sixteen episodes is too many, isn’t it? I don’t mean all of the time, but generally speaking, especially for a K-Drama running 65-75 minutes per outing.

‘Billy the Kid’ Season 3, Episode 7 Recap – We’re Rewriting History

November 16 2025

The penultimate ever episode of Billy the Kid feels pretty unmistakably like a side quest.

‘Robin Hood’ Episode 4 Recap – Fleshing Out the Ranks

November 16 2025

A pretty big deal is made about the forest in Episode 4 of Robin Hood. Norman military might has no answer for it.

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Episode 5 Recap – Splitting the Difference

November 16 2025

When Talamasca: The Secret Order started, it was quite enjoyably serious.

‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 5 Recap – Everything About This Show Works

November 15 2025

People are sleeping on Sheriff Country. I’m not suggesting it’s secretly a prestige drama or anything, but as far as procedurals go, it’s really a very fine version of that oh-so-familiar format, and I think you can see it quite clearly in Episode 5, “Expecting Trouble”.

‘Boston Blue’ Episode 5 Recap – Thank Goodness, People Aren’t Getting On

November 15 2025

‘Malice’ Ending Explained – Sometimes the Villains Get to Win

November 14 2025

In most shows, the finale of Malice would constitute a happy ending. The pampered, privileged family is taken to task for their selfishness, after all,...

‘Malice’ Review – Somehow, Jack Whitehall’s First Dramatic Role Really Works

November 14 2025

Nothing about Prime Video’s Malice should work. It’s very silly, totally implausible, and stars Jack Whitehall, of all people, not as bumbling comic relief but...
