Breaking Down the Ending Of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5, Volume 1

November 27 2025

Let me be the first to say that I’m no fan of Netflix releasing its big shows in volumes. Splitting up a season kills a...

‘Stranger Things’ Season 5, Episode 3 Recap – The Return Of Mad Max

November 27 2025

Stranger Things Season 5 hasn’t quite felt like Stranger Things of old yet, something remedied by Episode 3, “The Turnbow Trap”.

‘Stranger Things’ Season 5, Episode 2 Recap – Pulling No Punches

November 27 2025

You could make a case, if you were so inclined, that the Season 5 premiere of Stranger Things felt every second of its runtime because it was trying a bit too hard to settle us back in.

‘Stranger Things’ Season 5, Episode 1 Recap – All Grown Up

November 27 2025

It takes an effort to remember this now since it was roughly a lifetime ago, but the abduction of Will Byers in Season 1 of Stranger Things remains the most important component of the narrative.

‘Loot’ Season 3, Episode 8 Recap – This Show Is Becoming Dreadful

November 26 2025

Just what is going on here? Loot has been way off the rails in Season 3, and if I’m not mistaken, it seems like its covert objective is to make us despise every single character.

‘Murder in a Small Town’ Season 2, Episode 9 Recap – A Late High Point

November 26 2025

Unpopular opinion though it might be, I think Mayor Christie Holman has been my favourite character in Murder in a Small Town Season 2.

‘Palm Royale’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Maxine Solves A Murder… Sort Of

November 26 2025

In hindsight, Palm Royale delivered one of its best ever episodes last week, setting a high bar for Season 2, and it was very unlikely that Episode 3, “Maxine Solves a Murder”, was going to clear it.

‘The Last Frontier’ Episode 9 Recap – Now This Is More Like It

November 26 2025

Mileage may vary, but I think it has taken until Episode 9 for The Last Frontier to figure out the mode it operates best in.

‘Pluribus’ Episode 5 Recap – Rhea Seehorn Must Be Tired After Carrying “Got Milk”

November 26 2025

We’ve got a lot to thank Rhea Seehorn for, for obvious reasons, but one of the biggest is carrying an entire episode of Pluribus on her own.

‘Down Cemetery Road’ Episode 6 Recap – All Roads (And Tracks) Converge

November 26 2025

You might be surprised to learn that Episode 7 is not the penultimate episode of Down Cemetery Road, which is weird since it really feels like it is.

‘DMV’ Episode 7 Recap – Out Of Office Advantage

November 25 2025

It would be a bit of a stretch to say that the East Hollywood DMV office has ever really felt like a team. It’s a designation that most of the employees would actively avoid in usual circumstances, but Episode 7 of the CBS sitcom, “There Is No I in DMV”, is not operating under usual circumstances.

‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – I Actually Liked This One!

November 25 2025

Just in case you needed any more evidence that Watson works best as a straight-up medical drama that has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes, look no further than “Giant Steps”, which is, by my count, the first and thus far only genuinely good episode of Season 2.

‘All’s Fair’ Episode 6 Recap – Sarah Paulson’s Brilliance Can’t Escape A Wonky Script

November 25 2025

Remember when Ryan Murphy inexplicably spent a whole hour of All’s Fair trying to make us feel sorry for Carrington Lane? That was weird, right? Then again, the whole show’s weird, so what can you do? Episode 6 wants you to forget about that anyway.

‘The Chair Company’ Episode 7 Recap – Ron Finally Gets to the Bottom Of Things

November 24 2025

Ron did it. He finally found out what Tecca is up to. And, as predicted, Tecca are up to something.

‘I Love LA’ Episode 4 Recap – Elijah Wood Is Not A Sex Object

November 24 2025

Networking is a deliberately nebulous word, one typically used as an excuse for getting drunk with people whose company you stand to benefit from in one way or another.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 5 Recap – Pennywise Debuts In All His Glory

November 24 2025

It: Welcome to Derry has held off on leveraging the iconic smirking visage of Bill Skarsgård’s bulbous-headed Pennywise the Clown.

Kevin Hart Is In Vintage Form In ‘Acting My Age’

November 24 2025

Any comedian who has a sufficiently lengthy career and a certain amount of success is going to go through ups and downs. Kevin Hart has...

‘Typhoon Family’ Episode 14 Recap – A Late Break From Formula

November 24 2025

You wouldn’t think that Episode 14 of a 16-episode run was necessarily the right place for a significant change of pace, but Typhoon Family has other ideas.

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Has One Of “Those” Endings

November 23 2025

Talamasca: The Secret Order has one of those endings. You know the kind I mean. Episode 6 – in hindsight, six episodes were nowhere near...
