‘Alien: Earth’ Ending Explained – Oh, How the Tables Have Turned
It only took all season, but I finally learned the technical term for “Species 64”, otherwise known as the “creepy tentacled eyeball octopus”, which is...
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 6 Recap – A Surprisingly Hopeful Turning Point
I’ve been singing Grace Van Patten’s praises all throughout The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, but I think there’s a case to be made that in Episode 6, “Colpevole”, she delivers her finest work.
‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Let The Games Begin
It has been a while since High Potential was last on our screens, something that I was reminded of in the Season 2 premiere.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 7 Recap – An Hour Of Truly Demented Fun
In many ways, we’ve all been waiting for the Lost Boys to turn on Boy Kavalier and Prodigy and facilitate some kind of escape, possibly aided by Kirsh for bonus catharsis points.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 6 Recap – A Corporate Hell With No Way Out
Earlier in this season, I said half-jokingly that the Xenomorphs were the good guys in Alien: Earth, but frankly, I’m starting to believe it more and more.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 5 Recap – A Change In Perspective
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone that a show titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is primarily about Amanda Knox.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 5 Recap – A Welcome Course-Correction Recreates A Classic
I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 4 Recap – Anything For A Good Story
The truth is a fluid thing, wriggly and uncertain. It’s time-sensitive, open to interpretation, and matters less than the story it’s wrapped in. When you...
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 4 Recap – An Uncharacteristically Dull Chapter
I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 3 Recap – Foxy Knoxy, Come On Down
Episode 3 of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox begins by doing something that neither of the first two did, which is to attempt to characterise Giuliano Mignini.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 3 Recap – When Is A Machine Not A Machine?
“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 2 Recap – A Wildly Effective, Disorienting Hour
One suspects that Episode 2 is the showpiece hour of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 1 Recap – Hulu’s Next Hit Is Off To A Dizzying Start
There's a surprisingly light touch to the earliest portions of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, Hulu's adaptation of Knox’s 2013 memoir, Waiting to Be Heard.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 2 Recap – (Chest-)Bursting With Xenomorph Goodness
I get that it’d be a stretch to say the Xenomorphs are the good guys in Alien: Earth, but it’s a possibility we should probably consider. The upside of relocating this franchise to terra firma is that it provides a much broader sample buffet of extraterrestrial entrées.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 1 Recap – The Future Is Terrifying Again
It’s amazing that there hasn’t been an Alien TV show until now. It seems so obvious.
The Ending Of ‘Red Eye’ Season 1 Is A Bit Too Complicated For Its Own Good
Nobody would argue that the ending of Red Eye Season 1 makes a great deal of sense. You can trace the plot particulars, obviously, but...
‘Red Eye’ Season 1 Is A Serviceable Airborne Thriller That Swiftly Loses Altitude
Richard Armitage was built for streaming. Stick this guy in a ropey thriller with any concept you like and he’ll do a halfway decent job...
‘Call Her Alex’ Review – Hulu’s Serviceable Docuseries Hits The Right Bases But Misses Some Opportunities
The important thing to understand about Call Her Alex is that its subject, Alex Cooper, is much more interesting than the docuseries itself. After premiering...
