Finally, a serial killer I can get behind! After all, who among us hasn’t considered pushing an influencer into traffic? The Hunting Party Season 2 hasn’t made much of an effort to be “current”, but you simply can’t have a procedural these days without an influencer case, and Episode 6, “Lou Kaplan”, is that.

I can’t say that Arthur Tobin’s film about — all together now — The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will be any good, but in...

The Hunting Party Season 2 is back after a little hiatus, and it’s back guest-starring Kelsey Grammer, which has to count for something. After all, who...

I mentioned this briefly when I wrote about the premiere, but any issues of premise, character development, or originality aside, The Fall and Rise of...

Some shows are designed to push boundaries, to reinvent longstanding ideas about genre and form. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins isn’t one of them.

You can always tell when Brilliant Minds is due to go on hiatus, since that’s when it wheels out the big guns. Season 2 hasn’t had very...

The Hunting Party has been a little male-dominant in Season 2, so Episode 4 already wins some novelty points by revolving around a female spree killer. Thankfully, "Amanda Weiss" has a bit more going for it than that.

It used to be that zombies and Nazis were the most overdone, uncomplicated villains in media, but AI is definitely threatening to catch up.

It’s always daddy issues, isn’t it? Since The Hunting Party deals with the psychology of killers, it’s kind of unavoidable that parental problems will frequently come to the fore, but the titular Zack Lang, who’s the focus of Season 2, Episode 3, almost feels like he has been assembled from a nutcase bingo card.

I’ve always said that The Hunting Party does a good job of coming up with eerie concepts for its killers, and I’m glad to see this hasn’t diminished in Season 2.

Guys, Brilliant Minds Season 2 might have peaked already. It was always going to be a tall order for Episode 12 to compete with one of the better outings in the show's history, but "The Rider" feels like a bit of a regressive step all the same, lacking the raw emotional sentiment of its immediate predecessor and a lot of the compelling overarching storytelling that has been threaded throughout the season.

And we’re back, folks. The team is reunited in the Season 2 premiere of The Hunting Party, which is good news for fans of what was ultimately one of NBC’s better recent procedurals.

In my recap of that powerful Eric Dane episode, I said that sometimes Brilliant Minds just decides to drop an hour of emotional torture out of nowhere.

I hate to say I told you so, but I did. To be fair, Brilliant Minds Season 2 hasn’t exactly been secretive about Charlie Porter’s ill intentions, and the Halloween special dropped a pretty big clue about his real motivations.

Oh, boy. Every now and again, Brilliant Minds delivers an episode like “The Fire Fighter”, seemingly just for its own sick pleasure.

A lot of Brilliant Minds Season 2 has been about the future. The teases of Wolf’s eventual incarceration in Hudson Oaks, no doubt thanks to...

Brilliant Minds is typically quite elegantly plotted, and has been throughout most of Season 2. But I think it’s fair to say that in Episode...

Let's just get this out of the way -- there's far too much going on in "The Doctor's Graveyard".
