‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – This Is A Tough One
I know I’m always singing the praises of The Pitt in a way that might border on hyperbolic, but then an episode like “12:00 P.M.” comes along...
‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Episode 6 Recap – Things Are Getting Serious
Wait, what happened to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy? I was more on board with this show than most to begin with, but I felt as...
‘The Beauty’ Episode 6 Recap – This Outing Was A Bad Idea
Even though the titular product very much twists through the entire DNA of The Beauty, I’m pretty sure we didn’t need any more explanation about...
‘Cross’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Some Lines Have Been Crossed
Cross Season 2 has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to providing answers about what’s really going on. This is to be expected, of course,...
‘Cross’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – A Manhunt and A Familiar Face
Cross Season 2 seems to know where it’s going, and is in a hurry to get there. This is no bad thing, in my view,...
‘Cross’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Three Finger Discount
The first season of Cross was pretty dark, granted, but it wasn’t “burning alive and cutting the fingers off of rich child predators” dark, so...
‘Cross’ Season 2 Review – Aldis Hodge Shines Again in Prime Video’s Dependable, Unremarkable Thriller
This is pretty reductive to say, and I’ll obviously expand on it, but the truth about Cross Season 2 is essentially this – if you...
‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Down to the Wire
Honesty is the best policy, or so the saying goes, but I'm not sure Sam Nelson would agree. Throughout Season 2 of Hijack, he has been pretty understandably cagey, all the better to sell the inverted premise of Apple TV+'s claustrophobic thriller.
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – New Beginnings and Coming Ends
There's a fine line between happiness and crippling trauma. It's a line that Shrinking has tiptoed along beautifully since the beginning, and never more so than in Season 3, which has an inescapable spectre looming over it that it won't allow us to forget.
‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 4 Recap – I Think I Know Who the Ferryman Is
Things are really starting to heat up in Memory of a Killer now. If Episode 3 was all about teasing out Angelo’s worsening Alzheimer’s issues, making vague hints about who the Ferryman might be and who might be double-crossing whom, Episode 4, “Unhappy Ending”, is about fleshing those lingering suspicions out into full-blown theories.
‘Memory of a Killer’ Episode 3 Recap – Getting Too Close to Home
I do like Memory of a Killer, and I think it has a fundamentally great premise, but you can feel it wearing a little bit in Episode 3, “Samurai”. This is partly the fault of Angelo himself, who is rather in denial about his worsening memory issues and keeps neglecting them, making his already complicated situation even worse.
‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 7 Recap – Everyone Is Deeply Awful
Yeah, yeah, I know. Tell Me Lies is about highly dysfunctional people doing deeply deplorable things. Always has been. But even by those standards, Season 3 has...
‘Drops of God’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – A Trip to Georgia and a Touch of Danger
No dog chasing a car ever stopped to consider what it might do if it caught it, and similarly, Camille and Issei never really thought...
‘Vanished’ Episode 2 Recap – I’m Not Sure I’m Buying This, Folks
Things seemed bad enough for Alice Monroe. Her boyfriend, Tom, was not only afraid of commitment, but also missing. And she couldn’t seem to trust anyone she met to help her, which, in a show titled Vanished is kind of expected, but nonetheless constitutes a problem.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Episode 4 Recap – A Gloomy Recruitment Drive
In its limited screentime thus far, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has done a pretty remarkable job of communicating a much more hopeful tone than you’d necessarily expect from a show set in the same brutal universe as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 5 Recap – The Thing Is Nothing (And Other Revelations)
There are a lot of good ideas in “Eyes Without a Face”. It's the first proper out-of-office hour of Industry Season 4, which is always nice, sending two underused characters to a far-flung location on a side mission that rattles the foundations of the main plot.
‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Ending Explained – That’s How You Do A Finale
I think it’s fair to say that Spartacus: House of Ashur has earned a finale like Episode 10, “Hail Caesar”. Things haven’t been going especially well for...
‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Learning on the Job
Having just spent 13 consecutive hours in a hospital, I was particularly sensitive to The Pitt in "11:00 A.M.", perhaps more so than any other episode in Season 2 thus far. This is likely because Episode 5 has a strong undercurrent of time-management, or perhaps more accurately how impossible it is to manage time in a clinical setting.
