‘Mayor of Kingstown’ Season 4, Episode 9 Recap – Mike’s Making Moves
Well, that's how you do a penultimate episode, isn't it? Mayor of Kingstown has always been at its best at the tail end of a season, and that seems to be holding true for Season 4, since "Teeth and Tissue" is riveting stuff.
‘Landman’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – One Heck Of A Road Trip
I’ve realised what it is about Landman that I find so fascinating and peculiar. Originally, I mistook it for the show not really having a plot, but in Season 2, especially, that isn’t quite accurate.

‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 8 Recap – This Is Getting A Little Confusing
I do love a subplot that feels very specific, and Sheriff Country has had its share of those already. But it has a really good one in Episode 8, appropriately titled “Death & Taxes”, which really enjoyably leans into the show’s very specific vibe and sense of place.
