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

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

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...
‘Cross’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – Nobody Gets Happily Married
Cross has sometimes given the impression in Season 2 that it thinks its twists are a bit more interesting than they actually are. Not that most of what is revealed in Episode 6 necessarily constitutes a twist, which is kind of the problem.
‘Hijack’ Season 2 Ending Explained – Well, I Guess There Won’t Be Another One
As well as being the ending — obviously — of Hijack Season 2, “Terminal” plays out like a bit of a reassurance that there won’t be a...
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 6 Recap – You Better Leave My Derek Alone
Shrinking isn't about death, per se, but it's certainly rather attached to the idea. It occurs to me that we're in Season 3 now, and none of the core cast has been killed off in any way, even the ones that have come close a few times, so perhaps the fake-out trick is wearing thin.
‘DMV’ Episode 11 Recap – The Robots Are Coming to Take Our Jobs
