‘Beauty in Black’ Season 2, Part 1 Recap – Breaking Down the First 8 Episodes
It was an inevitability that Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black would return for Season 2, and here we are. As with the first season, this one is...
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 6 Recap – A Corporate Hell With No Way Out
Earlier in this season, I said half-jokingly that the Xenomorphs were the good guys in Alien: Earth, but frankly, I’m starting to believe it more and more.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ Episode 5 Recap – Torture Is Bad (And Other Lessons)
I've realised what The Terminal List: Dark Wolf reminds me of. It isn't a show, funnily enough, but the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, specifically the reboot from 2019.
‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ Episode 5 Recap – A Change In Perspective
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone that a show titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is primarily about Amanda Knox.
‘Platonic’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – Therapy Is A Bad Idea
Sometimes, even when a show isn't at its best, it can still be pretty good. Platonic has always been like that, which is why it's sometimes difficult to talk about.
‘Task’ Episode 1 Recap – This Is Immediately Can’t-Miss, Prestige TV
With some TV shows, you can just tell they’re good. I don’t mean “decent”, either – I mean properly, prestige.
‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – A Change Of Scenery
For two seasons, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was inseparable from its French setting.
‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episode 6 Recap – First Impressions Are Everything
As expected, Episode 6 of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty revolves around Ji-young rising up to defend Joseon’s reputation in front of the Ming Dynasty.
‘Beyond the Bar’ Episode 11 Recap – Animal Lovers Be Careful With This One
You can tell we’re approaching the end of Beyond the Bar because we’re getting into the territory of needlessly long episodes.
‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episode 5 Recap – Things Take A Slightly More Serious Turn
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has been pretty knockabout so far, but the margins have always contained a much more serious show.
‘The Rainmaker’ Episode 4 Recap – Rudy and Sarah Reach A Predictable Breaking Point
I don’t like to say “I told you so”, but it only took until Episode 4 for The Rainmaker to prove me right about Rudy and Sarah.
‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Best. Dimension. Ever.
The more it goes on, the more it seems like Peacemaker Season 2 is pretty specifically about Chris Smith’s relationship with Emilia Harcourt.
‘Chief of War’ Episode 7 Recap – White People Can’t Be Trusted
Despite being the shortest and most contained episode of Chief of War thus far, "Day of Spilled Brains" might nonetheless be the outing that best sums up the story's essentials.
‘Invasion’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – Finally, Something’s Happening
Generally speaking, I don't like Invasion very much. Never have, really. And the first two episodes of Season 3 have largely been really good examples of why.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 5 Recap – A Welcome Course-Correction Recreates A Classic
I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – An Addams Family Party
Wednesday Season 2 peaked with its Freaky Friday body-swap episode, so it was inevitable that Episode 7, "Woe Me the Money", would feel like a bit of a step down.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – A Freaky Friday Send-Up (With Added Lady Gaga)
The lingering questions of what Wednesday was doing with its Season 2 storylines after that midseason premiere are answered pretty much immediately in Episode 6, so don't worry about it.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap – Day of the Dead Festivities
There are two major selling points of "Hyde and Woe Seek", beyond the obvious fact that it's the Part 2 premiere and follows on directly from the Part 1 mid-season finale.
