‘The Resurrected’ Review – A Unique, Twisted Take On The Revenge Drama

October 9 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

If there’s a right month to resurrect a person, it’s probably October. Netflix is certainly banking on this, anyway, since their nine-part Taiwanese original The...

‘Maintenance Required’ Review – Prime Video’s Wildly Derivative Rom-Com Kind Of Works

October 8 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

‘Murder in a Small Town’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – Family Feud

October 8 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I don’t have much hope for the future of Karl and Cassandra’s relationship, if I’m being honest.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – A New Threat Emerges (Maybe)

October 8 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

One murder is usually enough for High Potential, but Episode 4 of Season 2, “Behind the Music”, has two to worry about.

‘The Morning Show’ Season 4, Episode 4 Recap – A Bumpy Landing

October 8 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

"Love the Questions" is one of those episodes of The Morning Show that has too much going on. Not too too much, not too much to possibly keep up with, but objectively too much, like just enough that a lot of it feels underserved and fleeting.

‘Slow Horses’ Season 5, Episode 3 Recap – What Have The Penguins Ever Done?

October 8 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Most of Slow Horses Season 5, Episode 3 takes place in two rooms. One of them is a dingy basement at Regent's Park, where Roddy Ho has been taken for interrogation by Lady Di herself.

‘Matt McCusker: A Humble Offering’ Review – The Shaman Finally Arrives On Netflix

October 7 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

We’ve got a lot to thank Shane Gillis for, not least the career of Shane Gillis, but of all his contributions to comedy, the mainstream...

‘Brilliant Minds’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – A Very Good Case Takes Centre Stage

October 7 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Sometimes, Brilliant Minds only has a so-so case of the week to justify focusing primarily on the characters and their interpersonal drama -- see, for example, the Season 2 premiere.

‘True Haunting’ Review – James Wan Adds Cinematic Flourish To A Familiar Format

October 6 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Typically, the worst thing about any documentary is the supposedly dramatic re-enactments. Famously terrible, the lot of them. The concise elevator pitch of Netflix’s True...

‘Billy the Kid’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – I’m Becoming Slightly Bored

October 6 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Despite a very cool opening shoot-out, Jesse laying the smack down on a bar full of people, and Billy getting his bloody revenge on Miguel all in the span of Episode 2, “Two Shots”, I still find myself oddly uninterested in Billy the Kid Season 3.

‘Task’ Episode 5 Recap – Now That’s How You Do A Cliffhanger

October 6 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

If there’s a better show in 2025 than Task, I’d be interested to see it. You can always rely on HBO to just ride into town and drop extremely high-quality prestige TV on a semi-regular basis, to an extent that it almost feels unfair to other networks and platforms.

I’m Convinced A Certain ‘Gen V’ Season 2 Theory About Cipher Is Correct

October 5 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

October 5 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Sorry, but what is going on here? The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon returned for Season 3 with seemingly no idea what it was doing, and then it just got inexplicably good without warning, and continues that trend in Episode 5, “Limbo”.

‘Tulsa King’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – Tyson Remains A Liability

October 5 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I’m getting a bit sick of Tyson. To be fair, I was sick of him throughout most of Tulsa King’s second season, too, but I thought he might have learned his lesson in time for Season 3.

‘The Rainmaker’ Episode 8 Recap – The Good Guys Finally Get Some Wins

October 4 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

You can tell we’re getting to the end of The Rainmaker now, since there’s a real fist-pump quality to Episode 8 as the tables finally begin to meaningfully turn.
