Hey, I liked this one! American Classic is always going to feel like something of an acquired taste given its esoteric essential nature, but Episode...

I’ve long since given up trying to figure out what The Last Thing He Told Me is doing with this story in Season 2, so...

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn't been slacking in Season 2, but I still think Episode 4 is the best of this run yet. "Trespass" doesn't quite have the character depth of the previous installment, and the flashbacks have almost entirely dried up now that we've established how Titan X connects to Santa Soledad and, of course, what happened between Lee and Keiko.

A lot can happen in two hours. Nobody is learning this quicker than the staff at PTMC, who keep reminding everyone that they're only a couple of hours away from the end of what has been a veritable shift from hell. But we're not there yet.

Episode 2 of Imperfect Women is built around the most obvious “twist” in the history of television, but if we’re being charitable, I’d suggest that the whole thing isn’t intended as a twist as much as a grim inevitability.

You can’t have a TV friendship without one of you dying. Those are just the rules, I think, and at least in Episode 1, Apple TV+’s Imperfect Women operates on the assumption that murder isn’t surprising to anyone, least of all the audience.

The ending of Cross Season 2 is, in a way, at war with itself. On the one hand, it has to resolve the plot as...

It’s a testament to how consistently well-written the characters in Shrinking are that the broad sweep of “Depression Diet” is obvious, even when the episode...

I’ve seen some mixed opinions on Episode 5 of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, so let me just throw mine into the mix...

“Test Drive” might be the best episode of DMV yet. It’s a close-run thing, granted, largely because most of these instalments are of roughly equivalent...

DMV always being better when a guest star is involved kind of proves my point that it’s at its best when it focuses on anything...

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse for Angelo in Memory of a Killer, Episode 7 comes along. “Dr. Parks” is the first...

“Progress” is a nebulous term at the best of times, especially given the wavering politics of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, so it’s little surprise that Marshals...

Steve Carell made a handy focal point for Rooster, and his reluctant bumbling is what helped to situate us at Ludlow and get a sense...

Paradise has always been resistant to the idea of a simple antagonist. We’ve seen this play out a number of times with even the show’s...

DTF. St Louis has been pretty good since it started. Odd, sure, and unconventional enough for its ultimate destination to feel sometimes worryingly elusive. In...

Nope, still not convinced. Something still feels off. Girl from Nowhere: The Reset doesn’t feel as discordant in Episode 2 as it perhaps did in the premiere, which was a bit performatively “new” to live up to the title and draw attention to the casting change, but it isn’t like “Panty” has a great deal to offer on its own terms.

It isn’t an accident that Stacy and Preston Clyburn’s kids have been so generally unlikeable throughout The Madison. In Episode 3, “Watch Her Fall”, it becomes a plot point. In the opening flashback, it’s revealed that Abigail was going through a divorce, utterly unsurprising to her parents, since it was obvious to them that Abby is a pampered idiot who has been making bad decisions her entire life on their dime.
