TV Recaps

Here I was, claiming that Euphoria doesn’t have a great deal going on in Season 3 beyond the obvious viral sensationalism of Sydney Sweeney’s kaiju boobs. With very credible arguments floating around that this show has exceeded the purpose of its existence, Episode 6 is reassuring in its way, since it’s the first chapter that feels less designed to court controversy and more intended to offer a sliver of hope to these woebegone fools.

So, Duncan and JoAnne's partnership didn't even manage to last a single episode. I suppose that's The Audacity in a nutshell, really. Everyone is too self-interested for a proper relationship to ever germinate in the Palo Alto soil; it's just a case of playing nice long enough for the right opportunity to present itself. I'm not even sure who legally owns which company at this stage, which is probably part of the point.

Any minor complaints about the pacing of From Season 4 must surely be put to bed by Episode 5, “What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been”, which is packed to the gills with nastiness, mystery, and mushrooms.

Things are moving pretty quickly in My Royal Nemesis, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Se-gye and Dan-sim have gone from vague acquaintances...

One thing I’ve always wondered about The Audacity is how Duncan managed to achieve any success at all. And for what it’s worth, I think...

I know I compare Boston Blue and Sheriff Country a lot, perhaps even a little unfairly, but their respective trajectories have been interesting to follow....

You’d think that criminals would have learned by now that shooting cops is probably a bad idea. In a show like Boston Blue, which is...

I’ve been a little mixed on My Royal Nemesis thus far, but Episode 3 is easily my favourite instalment yet. The first two episodes had...

We’re not very far into Season 3 of The Terror, and we don’t know Pepper especially well. He’s trapped in less-than-ideal circumstances, and he’s under...

The first episode of Dutton Ranch was in such a hurry to get Beth and Rip to Texas that it didn’t bother to explain how they got...

We’ve had no shortage of entries in the so-called Duttonverse lately. After the success of 1883 and 1923, we had to wait a while for anything new,...

After an artistically triumphant deviation, Your Friends & Neighbors returns to Season 2’s overarching plot in Episode 7, and it’s perhaps just as well that it...

Every time I think I have Half Man figured out, it surprises me. Every time I feel some problems might be manifesting, it acknowledges those problems itself,...

I’m never quite sure what AMC is doing with The Terror. There are always giant gaps between seasons, the marketing is always light, nobody ever...

If the horror in the previous episode of Widow’s Bay was a monstrous face-sitting Sea Hag, then the horror in Episode 4 is being socially...

It’s probably a testament to the quality of Widow’s Bay that it’s able to make a horror concept as familiar as the creepy old hag...

If one thing is obvious about Widow’s Bay – the remote New England fishing town and not the very funny and surprisingly scary Apple TV...

Some television is designed to be aggravating, and it has been obvious since the start of Criminal Record Season 2 that this is very much...
