Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner In ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Episode 4

July 25 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I suppose there's no invitation more compelling for a serial killer than one to a dinner party full of other serial killers.

‘Smoke’ Episode 6 Is A Phenomenal Hour Of Television

July 25 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Seriously, how is this happening? Smoke is a truly confounding show. It started out okay, trundled along inoffensively enough, and then took a sudden, severe turn for the worse.

Lord Seadown Springs A Trap In ‘The Buccaneers’ Season 2, Episode 6

July 23 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Blimey, James Seadown is awful, isn't he? This won't be news to long-time viewers of The Buccaneers, but now we're over halfway through Season 2, he has indisputably emerged as the real villain of the piece.

Breaking Down Every Steamy Twist In ‘The Hunting Wives’

I get that prison breaks are a pretty complex undertaking, but The Institute needs to speed things up.

‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Episode 3 Brings The Dark Passengers Into Conflict

July 18 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

The premiere wasn't a fluke. Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection, aptly titled "Backseat Driver", feels like a return to the franchise of old with a tight focus on Dexter himself as he works to claim another victim.

‘Smoke’ Gets More Right Than Wrong In Episode 5

July 18 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I’m not going to lie to you, I had written Smoke off. The previous episode was so deeply awful and misguided that it seemed incomprehensible the show...

‘Untamed’ Feels Restrained In Episode 5, But Still Shows Depth

July 17 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

“Terces” feels quite light for a penultimate episode, clearly saving up most of its big revelations and developments for the finale.

As it turns out, Vasquez’s near-death experience in the previous episode is the most major breakthrough of the case thus far.

‘Untamed’ Delivers Its Best Suspense Sequence In Episode 3

July 17 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

This, I think, is more like it. With the identity of the mysterious Jane Doe having been discovered, several new lines of inquiry open up in Episode 3.

‘Untamed’ Episode 2 Provides A Breakthrough in the Jane Doe Case

July 17 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

By the end of Untamed Episode 2, Vasquez has figured out who the mysterious Jane Doe is, which is good news.

‘Untamed’ Episode 1 Builds To A Played-Out Twist

‘The Institute’ Gets A Little More Sinister (And Weird) In Episode 2

July 13 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that in Episode 2, “Shot for Dots”, The Institute still has a lot of the same problems it showcased in the premiere.

‘The Institute’ Is Too Obscure For Its Own Good In Episode 1

July 13 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

I get the sense we’ll have to cut The Institute a bit of slack. There’s a compelling core story here, and Episode 1 hints at it repeatedly.

The Premiere Of ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Proves This Franchise Can Do Spin-Offs Better Than Most

July 12 2025, by Jonathon Wilson
