‘The Last Frontier’ Episode 7 Recap – There’s A Pretty Big Problem Here
In many ways, “Change of Time” is the most significant episode of The Last Frontier thus far. It’s the one with the big reveal about Frank’s past, including the meaning behind the gun he’s keeping hidden in that copy of Walter Coates’s Alaska.
‘Last Samurai Standing’ Ending Explained – How the Action-Packed Finale Sets Up Season 2
Nowhere are the intentions of Last Samurai Standing – Netflix’s fusion of Squid Game and Shogun – clearer than in its ending, which completely abandons...
‘Last Samurai Standing’ Review – An Action Epic With Obvious Influences
It’s usually reductive to compare one show to another, especially when the shows being compared are very good award-winning prestige dramas and/or impossibly popular global...
‘Murder in a Small Town’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – A Clear, Welcome Turning Point
When a show like Murder in a Small Town has an episode like “This, That, and the Other Thing” in its locker, it can sometimes make you wonder why it’s so content to be mediocre most of the time.
‘Loot’ Season 3, Episode 6 Recap – Are We Supposed to Dislike Molly This Much?
There was simply no way that Loot Season 3 wasn't going to experience some kind of decline in the absence of Nicholas.
‘Down Cemetery Road’ Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Picking Up
I'm often claiming that episodes pick up where the previous one left off, but it's rarely ever as literal as it is in Down Cemetery Road.
‘Palm Royale’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – A Surreal Return On the Same Fine Form
Most shows require a bit of detective work when they return after some time away, but it took me longer than usual to reacclimatise to Apple TV+’s Palm Royale.
‘The Morning Show’ Season 4, Episode 9 Recap – A True Villain Emerges
The Morning Show has had its fair share of villains, but Season 4 has sorely lacked in this regard.
‘DMV’ Episode 5 Recap – Hey, This Is Slightly Better
If nothing else, at least DMV seems to be listening to me. I've been crying out for the sitcom to give Colette something -- anything -- different to do, and in Episode 5, "Stick Shift", it just about manages it.
‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Sherlock Is Back And Things Are A Bit Better
I’ll be the first person to admit that Watson doesn’t need Sherlock Holmes. It works better without him, actually.
‘All’s Fair’ Episode 4 Recap – Kim Kardashian Is Smartly Sidelined
The vitriolic criticism of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair has been more predictable than warranted.
‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Episode 4 Recap – This Isn’t A Spy Show Anymore
What I liked about Talamasca: The Secret Order initially is that, despite being set in a world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural ephemera, it presented itself as a pretty straight-up espionage thriller.
‘The Chair Company’ Episode 5 Recap – As Bonkers As Things Get (Maybe)
It’s a rare show – and, in case it wasn’t obvious, The Chair Company is a very rare show – that doesn’t seem any closer to meaningfully explaining what it’s about by the time it’s halfway through.
The ‘Bat-Fam’ Controversy Is Ridiculous, But I Kind Of Get It
I was fully prepared to declare the “controversy” around Prime Video’s Bat-Fam utterly ridiculous, and a complete overreaction by so-called fans with nothing better to...
‘I Love LA’ Episode 2 Recap – Faking It Until You’re Making It
The best joke in I Love LA is that the funniest character isn’t any of the Gen Z influencer caricatures that Rachel Sennott has clearly created the show to mock.
‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Episode 3 Recap – Our First Proper Glimpse of Pennywise
I think it’s safe to say that It: Welcome to Derry has been much better than anyone expected it to be.
Netflix’s ‘Marines’ Is Preparing For War With A Recruitment Documentary
There’s a very specific tension to Netflix’s four-part docuseries Marines, and it’s the promise – not a suggestion, the outright guarantee – of war. Nobody’s...
‘Typhoon Family’ Episode 10 Recap – Prison Is the Cure For Sexism
Sometimes it takes failure to show you what success really looks like.
