‘Chief of War’ Episode 7 Recap – White People Can’t Be Trusted
Despite being the shortest and most contained episode of Chief of War thus far, "Day of Spilled Brains" might nonetheless be the outing that best sums up the story's essentials.
‘Invasion’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – Finally, Something’s Happening
Generally speaking, I don't like Invasion very much. Never have, really. And the first two episodes of Season 3 have largely been really good examples of why.
‘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.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Part 2 Review – A Convoluted Back Half Still Delivers Where It Counts
Wednesday is about werewolves and zombies and death; about Gorgons and Sirens and mad scientists. But it’s mostly about friendship and family, especially in Part...
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Part 2 Ending Explained – Until Next Time, Nevermore
Wednesday is pretty good at endings. It’s the done thing these days to never really end a show, but this one has always been good at...
‘The Paper’ Review – Peacock’s Spin-Off From ‘The Office’ Stands On Its Own
It says a lot that even in 2025, twenty years after it first debuted, simply being a spin-off of The Office is enough to constitute...
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – An Addams Family Party
Wednesday Season 2 peaked with its Freaky Friday body-swap episode, so it was inevitable that Episode 7, "Woe Me the Money", would feel like a bit of a step down.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – A Freaky Friday Send-Up (With Added Lady Gaga)
The lingering questions of what Wednesday was doing with its Season 2 storylines after that midseason premiere are answered pretty much immediately in Episode 6, so don't worry about it.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Day of the Dead Festivities
There are two major selling points of "Hyde and Woe Seek", beyond the obvious fact that it's the Part 2 premiere and follows on directly from the Part 1 mid-season finale.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Episode 4 Recap – Getting Our Bearings
If The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is proving anything, it’s that joint CIA/Mossad black ops are a little bit tumultuous, which, to be fair, probably shouldn’t come...
‘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...
‘Platonic’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – In Which Will Finally Realises He’s An Idiot
I can’t think of anything worse than spending ages locked in a car with Will from Platonic, which is a bit of an obstacle since...
‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episodes 3 & 4 Recap – These Runtimes Are Much Too Long
How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.
‘Twelve’ Episode 4 Recap – A Dull Outing Relying On Hints Instead Of Answers
Twelve leaves us with a lot of questions after Episode 4. On some level, this isn’t a terrible thing, since it wouldn’t do for a show to give all of its secrets away out of the gate.
‘Beyond the Bar’ Episode 10 Recap – An Improved Outing With More Challenging Ethics
Once again I’m confronted with the possibility that Beyond the Bar might be responding to these recaps directly.
‘Twelve’ Episode 3 Recap – Things Are A Little Too One-Sided
Good TV conflict always creates the impression that the villains have the upper hand, only for the heroes to rally and save the day in the end, but I do wonder if Twelve might be going a bit far with it.
‘Beyond the Bar’ Episode 9 Recap – Splitting the Difference
It took until Episode 9, but Beyond the Bar fiddles with its structure a little bit here, splitting its time between two cases, one of which isn’t entirely resolved by the end.
