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 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.

John Grisham’s novel The Rainmaker has always been popular as an indictment of the legal system at every level, and it’s probably telling that it...

The first major round in the Twisted Metal tournament isn't especially interesting, which, it turns out, is by design.

Killing off major characters is often seen as a pretty cheap way of farming audience engagement.

Drivers, start your engines -- the Twisted Metal tournament is officially underway.

Tortured vehicular metaphors being my speciality, I'm happy to say that Twisted Metal pumps the brakes a little here in "LZGTBZY".

Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen. Twisted Metal is back for Season 2, and it’s bigger and better than ever. This might not be immediately apparent in...
