TV Recaps

All the comedy in The Chair Company lives in the space between how other people see Ron Trosper and what he’s actually like.

Tae-poong has a lot of admirable qualities in Typhoon Family, but the guy’s pretty unlucky.

It was only a matter of time. Even Billy the Kid can’t run forever, and if nothing else, Season 3 has been a consistent reminder of that.

Typhoon Family is the quintessential example of a show with very familiar constituent parts – a real-life period of turbulent history, a wayward son forced to grow up at pace, a burgeoning romance, and so on – that feels fresh and distinct through its basic underlying quality.

Is it just me, or is Dwight’s double-agent routine in Tulsa King Season 3 feeling a little distracting?

Halfway between the continuation of Blue Bloods and the introduction of a completely new show, the premiere of Boston Blue has that classic “same but different” quality you probably expect from a spin-off to a beloved procedural.

The hook of Sheriff Country is that it’s about a sheriff for whom the law is the least of her problems.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.

The thing about Loot, which remains as true in Season 3 as it was in the previous two, is that it’s funny enough to not really need much of a plot.

I was just about ready to declare Episode 5 of The Morning Show Season 4 a bit of a dud.

Slow Horses is a very smart show about people who're indescribably stupid or much cleverer than they look.

The worst thing that ever happened to Watson was Brilliant Minds. Both shows are similar enough that the comparisons are unavoidable; medical procedurals with a focus on very strange, often brain-related cases of the week.

DMV seems built on the question of what a single-camera workplace sitcom looks like when everyone hates the workplace.

Across eight episodes, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch tells the closest thing we’ve had to an original Splinter Cell story since 2013’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist. It’s appropriately on-brand in its global scope...
