‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 10 Recap – This Show At Its Very Best
High Potential is an above-average procedural at the best of times, and that has been evident pretty regularly in Season 2.

‘Fallout’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – I’m Not So Sure About This One
I’m not sure about “The Other Player”, truth be told. One has to wonder whether Fallout Season 2 really needs an episode like this so late in its run, one that takes a notable present-day pacing hit to better flesh out some wider world-building details.
‘Drops of God’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – A Sumptuously-Shot Premiere
Just in case you thought Drops of God might have lost a step in the almost three years it has been away, just peep the opening scene of the Season 2 premiere. Name me another show that can deliver such a beautiful-looking sequence with almost no light and sound, and I'll give you a cookie.
‘Hijack’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – A Crisis Management Exercise
If you were worried about Hijack Season 2, and there was reason to be given its relatively tame premiere, then Episode 2, "Control", should hopefully provide a nice corrective.

‘Tell Me Lies’ Season 3, Episode 4 Recap – Oh, It’s Going to Get Worse
Tell Me Lies Season 3 is already darker and more thoughtful than previous seasons, but it still works in more or less the same way. It's about awful people doing awful things to each other.

It’s difficult to tell whether A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is for Game of Thrones fans who are still smarting about how badly it...
‘Industry’ Season 4, Episode 2 Recap – A Truly Demented Hour Of TV
Blimey, where to start? Industry doesn't do episodes like "The Commander and the Grey Lady" very often, since it's usually too firmly rooted in the real world -- albeit the grimmest corners of it -- to indulge in visions and metaphor.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Episode 1 Recap – A Charming Introduction
Let's be totally clear here -- despite being set in the same brutal universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms really is nothing like Game of Thrones. And that's a good thing!

‘Landman’ Season 2 Ending Explained – As Good As This Show Has Ever Been
You can say a lot of things about Landman. In my coverage of Season 2, I’ve probably said most of them already. It’s weird. It’s sometimes...
‘The Hunting Party’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – Outsider Art
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.
‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – I Hope That Was A Prosthesis
If there’s anything The Pitt consistently makes me think about – and, to be clear, it generally makes me think about a lot of different things, not least “is that a prosthesis?!” – it’s how hospitals are even able to run at all. The intake is never-ending.
‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Review – To Boldly Go… Back to School
Star Trek has been around since 1966, and the San Francisco campus from which this spin-off takes its name has somehow never been depicted on-screen...
‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Premiere Recap – In At the Deep End
I was fairly sure I was going to hate Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Who can blame me? In Episode 1, “Kids These Days”, first impressions aren’t great, and kids these days seem to be the problem.
‘Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials’ Ending Explained – The Great Unmasking
At just three episodes, Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials doesn’t have the most complicated mystery in the world. Truth be told, you can probably figure out...
‘Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials’ Review – Cozy Whodunnit Is A Star-Making Turn For Mia McKenna-Bruce
You don’t need me to tell you this, given the provenance of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, but it’s a whodunnit. Someone is murdered – a...
