January 15 2026

At just three episodes, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials doesn’t have the most complicated mystery in the world. Truth be told, you can probably figure out...

‘Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials’ Review – Cozy Whodunnit Is A Star-Making Turn For Mia McKenna-Bruce

January 15 2026

You don’t need me to tell you this, given the provenance of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, but it’s a whodunnit. Someone is murdered – a...

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 2 Recap – A Slight Step Above the Premiere

January 14 2026

Good news! I think Episode 2 of Best Medicine is definitely better than the premiere, which is a good sign.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 9 Recap – A So-So Return to Formula

January 14 2026

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 has returned to its standard case-of-the-week procedural format, with most of Episode 9, “Under the Rug”, proceeding as if the events of the solid second half of the art thief two-parter never happened.

‘Fallout’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Who Wrangles the Wranglers?

January 14 2026

Who’s being wrangled in “The Wrangler”? It’s more a case of what’s being wrangled, honestly, and the answer is pretty much every knotty plot thread that Fallout has been untangling in Season 2.

‘Palm Royale’ Season 2 Ending Explained – A Truly Brilliant Finale

January 14 2026

Palm Royale is good, there’s no doubt about that. Season 2 has had its misteps, but for the most part, it has been a consistently entertaining...

‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – All Aboard For A Long Journey

January 14 2026

Let's be clear -- the premiere of Hijack Season 2 only works because it's called Hijack and, after the first season, we know what to expect.

‘Hijack’ Season 2 Review – Too-Serious Sequel Is A Case Of Diminishing Returns

January 13 2026

You might be thinking it’s a bit of a stretch for the same guy to be caught up in two separate hijackings. And you’d be...

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3 Review – And You Thought This Couldn’t Get Any Darker

January 13 2026

Tell Me Lies is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen at being truly awful to watch. It’s a car crash – literally in...

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – Well, Now I Just Feel Dirty

January 13 2026

I’m not averse to surprises, but I have to admit I’ve had better ones than this. Tell Me Lies was already squirm-inducingly awkward in Season 3, but Episode 3, “Repent”, takes it to new levels of self-loathing depravity and self-destructive behaviour.

‘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.

‘Pro Bono’ Ending Explained – Truth and Justice, Free Of Charge

January 12 2026

As far as clear-cut climaxes go, you could probably see this one coming a mile away. Pro Bono is the sort of show that lends...

‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 1 Recap – A Whole New World

January 12 2026

You might recall the ending of Industry Season 3, and if you're particularly asture you might recall that it really did feel like a proper, no take-back ending.

‘Industry’ Season 4 Review – An Impressively Bold, Morally Bankrupt Reinvention

January 11 2026

For its first couple of seasons, Industry kind of flew under the radar, being as it was the less popular of HBO’s audacious shows about...

‘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.

‘A Thousand Blows’ Season 2 Ending Explained – The Elephants Hit the Jackpot

January 10 2026

It’s difficult to pull off a happy ending in a show as bruising as A Thousand Blows, especially since Season 2 is notably darker than...
