‘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...
‘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...
‘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...
‘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.
‘Reacher’ Season 3, Episode 4 Recap – A Heavy Flashback Tale Makes Reacher’s Motivations Clear
I’ve been thinking about Persuader a lot. That’s the book that Reacher Season 3 is based on, the seventh in Lee Child’s series and one that nobody really talks about.
Brad’s Poker Plans in ‘Mythic Quest’ Season 4, Episode 6 Explained: “Brad has been truly humbled by David”
When Mythic Quest enjoys its writing, it’s a lot of fun. Season 4, Episode 6 is one of those well-put-together and amusing chapters. I did not want the fun to end.
‘Prime Target’ Episode 7 Recap – I Hope You Like Watching People Write On Whiteboards
Can you recall a penultimate episode of any series being less urgent than "Prime Finder"? I don't think I can. Although I'm hardly surprised at this point.
‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 12 Recap – Same Structure, Same Tedium, Same Jokes
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a slumber party was something teenage girls did. Perhaps that’s true and Junior is just regressing even further into his default state of unevolved moron in the absence of his wife, who is sadly elsewhere for Episode 12 of Poppa’s House.
‘Suits LA’ Episode 1 Recap – Cramming an Entire Season’s Worth of Subplots into A Premiere
The premiere of Suits LA is like someone dared NBC to cram every character and subplot they plan to use in Season 1 into a single episode.
‘Paradise’ Episode 7 Recap – A Blisteringly Tense, Expertly Constructed Hour Of Television
This is a big statement, but Episode 7 of Paradise is probably going to end up being the best hour of television of 2025.
‘The Hunting Party’ Episode 4 Recap – Bex’s Birthday Takes Some Unexpected Turns
I could still use more of The Pit, as a setting and a concept, but I think we're getting there to a certain extent, and in the meantime, there's enough interesting stuff going on to hold the audience's attention.
‘Watson’ Episode 3 Recap – Watson Has a Headache and So Do We
Watson isn’t doing itself any favors by titling Episode 3 “Wait for the Punchline”, since it gives smug critics like me too many openings to be all like, “Still waiting!”.
‘The White Lotus’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Mike White’s Show Seems to be Taking A Slightly Different Approach
With the introductions out of the way, “Special Treatments” is another quintessential episode of The White Lotus.
‘1923’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Guys, Taylor Sheridan Is Doing Animal Metaphors Again
It has been quite a while since the first season of 1923 ended on a relatively sour note.
‘Mayfair Witches’ Season 2 Episode 7 Recap – Pretty Tame as Far as Weddings Go
Nobody really likes other people’s weddings, but it turns out a Scottish pagan witch wedding is quite a thing.
‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 15 Recap – Don’t Worry, We’re Almost There
Like many people, I can’t wait for When the Stars Gossip to end. And while that might sound a little harsh, don’t worry about it, since I firmly believe that the show itself can’t wait to end either.
