TV Recaps

The Last of Us, as a game and a TV show, is bleak to an extent that borders on parodical, like a social experiment designed to psychologically break huge swathes of people with their so-called entertainment.

Just when you thought you had things a little figured out, The Eternaut throws you for another loop. The previous episode revealed that bug-like aliens were invading.

Just in case you were wondering what the creature we glimpsed at the end of the previous episode was, we now have an answer.

Episode 3 of The Eternaut, "Magnetism", is about widening the show's scope geographically and in terms of its mythology.

If the first episode of The Eternaut was about the slow, creeping paranoia of questions without answers, Episode 2 is about how that paranoia spills out into violence and chaos at a moment's notice.

People are always calling me a killjoy for disliking snow, but I’d like to point my detractors to The Eternaut. In this Argentinian Netflix series, the...

All good criminals need a partner in crime, and it looks like Coop has found his in Episode 4 of Your Friends and Neighbors. But having an accomplice doesn’t seem to be doing him any favours.

Who'd have thought it? A half-hour of Poppa's House that I genuinely enjoyed! And it only took 17 episodes for us to get here.

There’s a popular Kierkegaard quote about how life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards, and this popped into my mind during Episodes 3 & 4 of Heavenly Ever After.

The fifth episode of MobLand is built around a single sustained run of tension that plays like a breath held long enough to sting the lungs.

The concept of heaven is in itself a cliché. Think angels playing harps on clouds, tearful reunions with your loved ones who haven’t aged a day, family pets frolicking through fields – you get the idea.

The battle lines are drawn, folks. It'll be Eunjang versus the Union in the season finale of Weak Hero Class 2. But we're not quite there yet.

After taking its foot off the gas for an episode, Weak Hero Class 2 returns with a vengeance in Episode 6, with several key developments that constitute a point of no return for multiple characters.

Weak Hero Class 2 has had no shortage of fights, but it has had a shortage of meaningful character moments, and Episode 5 is designed to address that.

It was pretty obvious what Baek-jin had planned for Si-eun after Seong-je confronted him at the end of the previous episode.

Weak Hero isn’t short of villains in Class 2. Initially, it seemed like Hyo-man was going to be more of a threat than he ended up...
