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

It occurred to me during "Once Upon A Time In America" that Brilliant Minds has spent so much time building mystery in Season 2 that it has kind of skimped on the emotion a little.

There are few things more satisfying than a legal drama that lets the good guys win. In the case of The Rainmaker, I don’t use...

Brilliant Minds has always been good, and sometimes it has been very good, but in Season 2, it really might be at its peak.

That excitable, itchy feeling of a penultimate episode definitely creeps into The Rainmaker here, and it’s perhaps just as well, since it hasn’t always been...

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.

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.

Brilliant Minds got off to a chaotic start in Season 2, so it benefits from a narrower episode like “The Contestant”. But there’s still plenty...

A lot has changed in the world of Brilliant Minds. This was inevitably going to happen after the dramatic events that capped off the first...

The Rainmaker takes something of a turn in Episode 7, largely abandoning the main plot for the equivalent of a side quest that neatly ties up Rudy’s ongoing involvement in Kelly’s love life.

Every legal drama needs a moment when the tables turn, and The Rainmaker gets it in Episode 6.

It was bound to happen eventually. Rudy’s ability to fall on his feet couldn’t last forever, and Episode 5 of The Rainmaker marks the end of the road for his run of good luck.

I don’t like to say “I told you so”, but it only took until Episode 4 for The Rainmaker to prove me right about Rudy and Sarah.

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...

The Rainmaker has been a pretty good adaptation so far, different enough from the 1997 film to justify its existence but not so out-there as to feel like a different story entirely.

The final round of the Twisted Metal tournament performs as advertised. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are carnage from top to bottom, killing off the...

The battle lines are being drawn in Episode 2 of The Rainmaker. Sure, you can make the case that they were already drawn in the premiere, but it’s nice to see everyone’s cards out on the table.

There's no vehicular combat in Episodes 8 & 9 of Twisted Metal Season 2, which, for an adaptation of a video game franchise built entirely around vehicular combat, seems a tad concerning.
