‘Just One Look’ Ending Explained – Let’s Break Down the Biggest Twists and Surprises in Netflix’s Harlan Coben Thriller
As with all Harlan Coben thrillers, Just One Look is built on a nested series of twists and turns that gradually reveal the truth of...
‘Just One Look’ Review – The Foolproof Coben Template Continues to Work in Netflix’s Latest Polish Thriller
We have long since reached a point where “It’s a Harlan Coben thriller” will pretty much suffice as a description of a TV show. But...
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Premiere Recap – It’s Not Entirely Unpleasant Seeing Matt Murdock Again
Let me just be clear out of the gate. Yes, they did it. Daredevil: Born Again is like the Netflix shows, which is worth mentioning...
Poppy Makes a Shocking Demand in ‘Mythic Quest’ Season 4, Episode 7
This series continues to surprise me. What initially appeared to be an amusing chapter exploring the US Congress and politics evolves into something much deeper,...
‘Prime Target’ Ending Explained – Well, Thank Goodness All That’s Over
Prime Target has been impressively bad throughout, so I wasn’t expecting its ending to magically turn things around, but Episode 8 is rubbish even by the...
‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 13 Recap – A Welcome Bit Of Focus in the Right Areas
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's worth reiterating that Poppa's House is a significantly better show when it's focusing on Poppa -- especially his relationship with Ivy.
‘Paradise’ Ending Explained – Cal’s Killer Is Finally Revealed, And You Never Would Have Guessed Who Did It
Paradise is much more than a murder mystery, but its ending is very much in the style of the classics. Episode 8, “The Man Who Kept...
‘The Hunting Party’ Episode 5 Recap – More Conventionality Feels Like A Slight Step Back
The Hunting Party unfortunately ends its run of improving form in Episode 5. "Roy Barber" isn't a bad episode, by any means, but it is one that seems to miss the point of NBC's high-concept procedural.
‘The White Lotus’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – And from Here, Things Are Going to Get Interesting
At a pinch, you could quite easily forget that The White Lotus is still a murder mystery in Season 3. It’s the only show that can devote an episode to characters lounging around poolside and doing basically nothing and still be considered prestige TV.
‘Watson’ Episode 4 Recap – The Good News Is I Actually Liked This One
There might come a time in the not-too-distant future when I’m able to look back and say Watson got good around Episode 4. It’s weird, though, because “Patient Question Mark” isn’t even a hugely notable improvement over the first few episodes.
‘Suits LA’ Episode 2 Recap – Ted Black Doesn’t Seem to be Learning His Lessons
I think we can all agree that the Suits LA premiere was a little too chaotic for its own good. The good news is that things settle down a little bit in Episode 2, “Old Man Hanrahan”.
‘1923’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – Helen Mirren’s Blight on Montana’s Wildlife Continues
I know it say it all the time, but Taylor Sheridan’s fascination with animal-based peril is getting hilarious. Not that there’s a great deal of humour to be found in an episode titled “The Rapist is Winter”, to be fair.
‘The Potato Lab’ Episode 2 Recap – There’s A Little Bit More Going on Here Than Novelty
Oddly, my concern with The Potato Lab is now that the weirdness of it might put people off. And that’s an interesting position to be in as early as Episode 2, since I’m still making a few assumptions about where it might all be heading.
‘Mayfair Witches’ Season 2 Ending Explained – Rowan Unlocks Her Full Potential in A Messy Finale
Let’s be frank here – the ending of Mayfair Witches Season 2 is a mess. It’s full of action, deaths, twists, and moral ambiguities, and...
‘The Potato Lab’ Episode 1 Recap – These K-Dramas Are Getting Weirder and Weirder
What is it with K-Dramas these days? The concepts seem to be getting more and more bonkers. Now seems an odd time to suddenly decide that a good old rom-com isn’t enough anymore; there needs to be some kind of unique qualifying gimmick.
‘Yellowjackets’ Season 3, Episode 4 Recap – A Major Character Death Livens Up a Flagging Season
Yellowjackets Season 3 has been strange and inscrutable so far, and it isn’t like things get suddenly clear in Episode 4.
‘Surface’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – The Shape Is a Little Clearer, But the Surface Remains Glossy
The unexpected return of a familiar face is the gotcha moment of “Speak of the Devil”, but until then Episode 2 feels a little too glossy to be engaging.
‘Severance’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – It’s the Gemma Backstory We Always Wanted
What is Lumon up to? This is the question that powers a lot of Severance, and rightly so, since the mega-corp is central to everything despite their motives always seeming elusive.
