‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 12 Recap – You Are What You Eat

March 9 2026

So, what exactly is going on here? I’m used to Watson being rubbish, and I assumed that Season 2’s mid-season premiere being above-average was a...

‘Marshals’ Episode 2 Recap – Kayce Isn’t Strictly A Good Guy (And That’s Good)

March 9 2026

There’s no point in a Yellowstone spin-off that doesn’t feel pretty intimately connected to Yellowstone, and if the premiere of Marshals had a downside, it...

‘Paradise’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Another Mini Masterpiece

March 9 2026

Paradise is a really, really good television show. I've been thinking about this a lot throughout Season 2, since every episode just keeps nailing it. At first, I was worried that I'm just a sucker for the Dan Fogelman brand of schmaltz, which remains a possibility, since the previous chapter laid it on really thick.

‘Rooster’ Episode 1 Recap – Yes, Of Course It’s Really Good

March 9 2026

Rooster was always going to be good. A dramedy from the creators of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Scrubs, starring Steve Carell as a bumbling author intervening in the spiralling love life of his daughter and her cheating husband against the backdrop of a liberal arts college campus? Sometimes these things just write themselves.

‘DTF St. Louis’ Episode 2 Recap – I Have No Idea Who to Suspect And It’s Great

March 9 2026

DTF St. Louis is that rarest of things, a mystery that is genuinely mysterious. I have no idea who killed Floyd, or why, or what his prior career as a nude male model or his curved penis might have to do with any of it. And that's just the way I like it.

‘American Classic’ Episode 3 Recap – Neither A Borrower Nor A Lender Be

March 8 2026

Money is at the forefront of American Classic Episode 3, chiefly in the context of how much of it Richard will need to spend to bring his version of Our Town to life.

‘Girl from Nowhere: The Reset’ Episode 1 Recap – New Nanno, Worse Show

March 7 2026

Change is good, or at least it can be, but it’s typically best if the change occurs for a reason. This is the key thing...

‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 11 Recap – And Nothing Was the Same

March 7 2026

I always feel bad comparing Sheriff Country to Boston Blue directly, since it doesn’t seem like a fair comparison, but they’re both procedurals airing on the same channel on the same day, and one is significantly better than the other in a way that is strikingly obvious whenever they try to adopt a similar cadence.

‘Boston Blue’ Episode 11 Recap – And We’re Back in the Holding Pattern

March 7 2026

It didn’t take a genius to work out that Boston Blue wrapping up its most compelling overarching subplot was going to leave it a little adrift. Episode 11, “Family Secrets,” falls into a procedural holding pattern reminiscent of some of the early-season outings that felt too aimless to take much notice of.

‘War Machine’ Review – Netflix Paid For ‘Predator’ To Have A Baby With ‘Metal Gear’

March 6 2026

I get that now isn’t exactly the time for a jingoistic war movie about America’s best and bravest tussling with some problematic foreign power, so...

‘The Hunting Party’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – A Killer You Can Get Behind

March 6 2026

Finally, a serial killer I can get behind! After all, who among us hasn’t considered pushing an influencer into traffic? The Hunting Party Season 2 hasn’t made much of an effort to be “current”, but you simply can’t have a procedural these days without an influencer case, and Episode 6, “Lou Kaplan”, is that.

‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Reunions and Reconciliations

March 6 2026

I might be wrong, but I’m not sure what Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me needed was a much narrower focus. Episode 3, “Reunion”, does away with the vast majority of scenes involving characters other than Hannah and Bailey, and indeed, as per the title, brings Owen himself back into their physical orbit.

‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – Things Are Getting Spooky

March 6 2026

Monsters are supposed to be scary, which is something that, in large part, hasn’t really been considered by the MonsterVerse. Giant and awesome? Sure. But...

‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 9 Recap – Don’t Play With Fireworks

March 6 2026

When it was revealed that Season 2 of The Pitt was going to be set on the Fourth of July, everyone envisioned a lot of firework-related nastiness. In Episode 9, over halfway through the season, we finally get some of that. But it’s the least of anyone’s problems in PTMC.

‘Scrubs’ (2026) Episode 3 Recap – The Comedy and Drama Are Both Working

March 5 2026

The medical drama landscape has changed so much since Scrubs torpedoed its own reputation by trying to carry on past its sell-by date that it’s easy to imagine there’s no place for it in 2026. But if this reboot is proving anything, it’s that we perhaps shouldn’t be so hasty.

‘Vladimir’ Ending Explained – Let’s Answer All Your Burning (Aha!) Questions

March 5 2026

Let’s be frank here – some, most, or indeed all of the ending of Vladimir could very well be a lie. It’s a possibility, is...

‘Vladimir’ Review – A Refreshingly Complex and Daring Adaptation

March 5 2026

Vladimir might be the best TV show of the year thus far. It’s a big claim, that, but I think it’s quite defensible. Truly adult...

‘The Beauty’ Ending Explained – And Not A Single Thing Was Resolved

March 5 2026

I can’t say I’m surprised by the ending of The Beauty, but it’s nonetheless lamentable to see the state of things in 2026, where stories...

‘Young Sherlock’ Ending Explained – Daddy Issues, Hidden Keys, and Chemical Weapons

March 4 2026

As seems fitting for a show in this universe, Young Sherlock has quite the mystery to unpack. As if conspiracies winding all the way through...

‘Young Sherlock’ Review – An Energetic, Convoluted Prequel Zings With Guy Ritchie Charm

March 4 2026

Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies had their detractors, but there was something about his zinging, slightly smug filmmaking style that suited the character, and it’s...
