TV Recaps

One of the problems with When the Stars Gossip – and it’s admittedly a "me" problem – is that I only care what’s going on in one narrow section of it.

Nobody likes a dinner party, and when you really boil it down, that’s all Episode 3 of Mayfair Witches Season 2 really is.

When the Stars Gossip needs a turning point, I think. If Episode 5 proves anything, it’s that the status quo isn’t quite enough, despite the novelty of the setting.

The word of the day is “death”. This is largely true of any episode of any medical drama, but it’s particularly true of Episode 3 of The Pitt, which opens and closes with death.

The most obvious disconnect between the audience and the characters in Severance’s Season 2 premiere is that for them it has only been few a seconds since we left, and for us it has been almost three years.

Episode 9 of The Agency, fittingly titled “The Rubicon”, only has one real job – to set up the season finale.

I have no idea what to make of Unmasked, which after two episodes feels like a comedy tripped and fell into a crime drama and nobody knew how to separate them.

High Potential Episode 9 also weaves the Roman subplot right through it instead of confining it to the margins, which means Morgan takes a break from investigating Marvin’s death to accompany Selena to a meeting with Gio, the elusive criminal concierge that Roman was somehow connected to.

A question that occurred to me midway through When the Stars Gossip Episode 4 – what, exactly are we supposed to be latching onto here? It’s a worthwhile question.

“Ten of Swords” lacks most of the gothic atmosphere that the premiere was able to create, and instead settles into an odd rhythm of concurrent storylines, some real and some more esoteric, none of which are especially interesting.

When the Stars Gossip has been, thus far, a very strange and silly show, with a far-out premise about fertilizing eggs in space and a lot of low-stakes slapstick to pad out the episode runtime.

The premiere of The Pitt covers 07:00-08:00 and 08:00-09:00 of a single continuous shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.

The turnaround that The Agency has made in the last few episodes is pretty remarkable given how bad it was when it started.

“The Safeguard” is probably the best episode of Silo Season 2 thus far. This is perhaps not the highest of praise given the sophomore run hasn’t been perfect and has started to sag in its most recent episodes.

It’s easy to forget – especially in Episode 7, which contains two pretty cold-blooded executions and the threat of several others – that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a kids’ show.

“Obsessed” is a fitting title for the midseason premiere of High Potential. Morgan is obsessed, for instance, with solving crimes, spouting off random facts about everything.
