‘I Love LA’ Episode 2 Recap – Faking It Until You’re Making It
The best joke in I Love LA is that the funniest character isn’t any of the Gen Z influencer caricatures that Rachel Sennott has clearly created the show to mock.
‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 3 Recap – Our First Proper Glimpse of Pennywise
I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.
‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 4 Recap – Mickey Goes Rogue to Save Skye
I know I keep going on about it, but you’ll have to forgive me, since it’s really difficult not to compare Sheriff Country to Boston...
‘Boston Blue’ Episode 4 Recap – It’s Still All Too Easy and It’s Getting Dull
It’s a good job Boston Blue is a decent procedural, because if it weren’t for the cases of the week, it’d be the dullest, most...
‘Murder in a Small Town’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – This Isn’t Working
Season 2 of Murder in a Small Town isn’t really working for me. I’ve thought that since the beginning.
‘DMV’ Episode 4 Recap – Colette Needs Another Mode ASAP
In Episode 4 of DMV, things are half-improved. The secret is keeping Colette away from Noa for a while, since that dynamic was already becoming tired.
‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – This Is Such A Bizarre Show
In a weird way, it’s almost impressive that we’re on Season 2 of Watson and yet nobody involved in its creation has quite figured out who any of its core characters are.
‘I Love LA’ Episode 1 Recap – Rachel Sennott’s HBO Comedy Has Charisma
It is highly probable that I am so far removed from the target demographic of an HBO comedy about single twenty-something Californian girls – and guys! – trying to make it in L.A., that any opinion I may or may not have on the subject is utterly worthless.
‘The Chair Company’ Episode 4 Recap – Not Every Show Needs Flashbacks
After what was pretty unmistakably a Halloween special in disguise, imagine my delight when the cold open of The Chair Company Episode 4 suggested we were doing a Christmas special this week instead.
‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Episode 3 Recap – Into the Lion’s Den
I’ve got to be honest, I kind of see Guy’s point in Talamasca: The Secret Order.
‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 3 Recap – More Evidence Against Skye!
It’s only Episode 3, and things really aren’t looking good for Mickey or Skye in Sheriff Country.
‘Boston Blue’ Episode 3 Recap – Romance Is In the Air (And Predictably Dull)
I respect Boston Blue for not turning Episode 3 into some kind of wacky Halloween special, but after moaning last week that it seems too willing to contrive happy endings for everyone, it’s kind of a double-edged sword.
‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 2 Recap – Horror With Extra Pickles
You can tell a lot about a show from its title sequence. It: Welcome to Derry boasts a fun one in Episode 2, “The Thing in the Dark”, which fittingly released on Halloween on Max and will occupy its usual timeslot on HBO.
‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – Mid-Season Finale Finally Creates Real Conflict
I’ve always maintained that High Potential works better when it legitimately challenges Morgan.
‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – I’m Not Sure This Show Is Working
With Watson Season 2 having moved on from Sherlock Holmes as quickly as he was introduced, Episode 3, “Expletive Deleted”, has the advantage of being able to push forward with the case of the week as a pure medical mystery.
‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – Even Sherlock Holmes Doesn’t Add Anything
I guess enough time has passed for an episode about a pandemic, even a tiny one that only flirts with the idea of becoming a wide-scale health event.
‘DMV’ Episode 3 Recap – What’s One More Bad Driver?
DMV can get away with a lot because it's genuinely funny more often than it isn't.
‘Brilliant Minds’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – There’s A Lot Going On Here
