‘Chief of War’ Episode 6 Recap – An Ominous Chapter Shares Its Attention Well
War is coming, of that there can be no doubt. I suppose Chief of War would be a bad title if it weren't.
‘Invasion’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – The Most Annoying Character Ever Is Back
I don't think there's much point in moaning about Invasion's pacing anymore.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 4 Recap – An Uncharacteristically Dull Chapter
I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Episode 3 Recap – Boots On The Ground
It occurs to me that The Terminal List: Dark Wolf suffers slightly from Ben Edwards and Raife Hastings being the least interesting things about it.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Episode 2 Recap – Quite A Night Out
Maybe it's just me, but The Terminal List: Dark Wolf has real pacing issues.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 3 Recap – Foxy Knoxy, Come On Down
Episode 3 of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox begins by doing something that neither of the first two did, which is to attempt to characterise Giuliano Mignini.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Episode 1 Recap – A Slow, Moody Start
Blimey, this is a bit serious, isn't it? The Terminal List: Dark Wolf lays its cards out on the table pretty early in Episode 1, and those cards read, roughly, "The American armed forces should be treated with paramount reverence and respect."
‘Platonic’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – The Leads Remain The Weakest Element
Here's a bold prediction about Platonic Season 2 -- I reckon Will is going to lose his job, and Sylvia's event planning business isn't going to take off.
‘Twelve’ Episode 2 Recap – Rapid Pacing Might Be A Secret Weapon
Twelve has a superpower of its own, and while it isn’t animal-themed, it’s undeniably extremely effective – pace.
‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episodes 1 & 2 Recap – Your Starter Has Arrived
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is, and I don’t say this lightly, possibly the most quintessentially “K-Drama” K-Drama that ever did K-Drama.
‘Beyond the Bar’ Episode 8 Recap – This Is Becoming A Little Predictable
Is someone working on Beyond the Bar reading these recaps? It feels like it sometimes.
‘Twelve’ Episode 1 Recap – A Serviceable Premiere Lays the Right Groundwork
There’s something quite charming and simplistic about the mythological setup of Twelve, the anticipated Disney+ K-Drama based on zodiac signs about a dozen angels living among the humans of Korea and protecting them from an ancient evil.
‘Beyond the Bar’ Episode 7 Recap – Hyo-min and Seok-hoon Are Better As Friends
Maybe it’s just me, but I think Beyond the Bar works better without a romantic component between the leads.
‘The Winning Try’ Episode 10 Recap – As Good As This Show Has Been Yet
Since the very beginning, The Winning Try has been a superb show, but here in Episode 10, it reaches its zenith. Several developing subplots intertwine for a key cliffhanger, but that comes after several beautiful character moments.
‘The Rainmaker’ Episode 2 Recap – Cards On the Table
The battle lines are being drawn in Episode 2 of The Rainmaker. Sure, you can make the case that they were already drawn in the premiere, but it’s nice to see everyone’s cards out on the table.
‘The Winning Try’ Episode 9 Recap – More Superb Character Drama Abounds
The Winning Try's sudden pivot into more serious and compelling drama continues apace in Episode 9, a brilliant hour dense with interlocking subplots and heightening stakes.
‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Two For The Price Of One
Peacemaker is back for Season 2, and not just back, but back into a new DC Universe.
‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Episode 8 Recap – Dexter’s Impulses Almost Get Him In Big Trouble
Dexter Morgan kills bad guys. He’s pretty particular about it, so it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking about Dex as if he’s a good guy.
