TV Recaps

It takes an effort to remember this now, but everyone used to keep track of what phase the Marvel Cinematic Universe was in. It used...

Like father, like son, or so the saying goes, but the point of Dexter: Resurrection is increasingly becoming to disprove that idea.

Meet Ka'ahumanu. She's a character who is going to be pretty integral to Chief of War, but she's introduced in Episode 2 without a great deal of fanfare in a cold open that left me a bit confused.

I'm not given to hyperbole as a rule, so know this -- there's a long-ish sequence in Episode 7 of Smoke that I earnestly believe is one of the year's very best.

Chief of War is a very serious and passionately rendered show about real history and indigenous representation and storytelling.

Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen. Twisted Metal is back for Season 2, and it’s bigger and better than ever. This might not be immediately apparent in...

Two years after Season 1 turned out to be surprisingly good, and thirty years after the debut of the long-abandoned PlayStation series on which it’s...

You could -- and perhaps should -- quibble about where "All Rise" fits into The Buccaneers Season 2 more broadly, especially since it means the fallout from Dick's death last week ends up feeling a little shortchanged.

Bucking the trend of video game adaptations being woeful, Peacock’s Twisted Metal was a good time. This is especially surprising considering it was based on...

I’m resigned to the idea of The Institute being a slow burn. It’s a mystery box on two fronts, drip-feeding minor clues and reveals without being in any hurry to get where it’s going.

It's only Episode 2, and yet The Winning Try is already delivering finale-quality drama, with all the big emotional swings and payoffs you'd expect after a full season of development.

The Winning Try is one of those from-the-ashes sports dramas that ensnares you immediately.

Trigger has a fascinating and provocative dystopian premise, which imagines Korea awash with free, easily accessible firearms. The only man fighting against the tide is Lee...

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

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.

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.

Murder! Affairs! Megachurches! The Hunting Wives has an awful lot going on, and a lot of it is deliberately ridiculous and sensational. Across eight episodes, it weaves...

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