TV Recaps

I’ll be the first to admit that Shrinking Season 3 started so well that it’s basically impossible for the remaining episodes to consistently hit those heights.

A themed party, a drinking game, and a lot of questionable decision-making -- at first blush, "I Don't Cry When I'm Sad Anymore" is Tell Me Lies performing precisely as advertised.

You can always tell when Brilliant Minds is due to go on hiatus, since that’s when it wheels out the big guns. Season 2 hasn’t had very...

You can tell that Vanished is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest, since after Episode 1, “Rosefinch”, I still couldn’t say with any real certainty that I know more about what’s going on than when I started.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The big reveal of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally arrives in Episode 3, "The Squire", and it's about time, too, since virtually everyone watching the show will have figured it out already.

Industry is about the worst people in the world, partaking in an endless stream of deplorable and immoral activities. This is as true now as it...

I think it's fair to say that you don't come to Spartacus: House of Ashur looking for depth of character. It's a show about copious amounts of blood and guts, full-frontal nudity -- I see you, Pompey -- and ridiculous quasi-Shakespearean dialogue.

The Hunting Party has been a little male-dominant in Season 2, so Episode 4 already wins some novelty points by revolving around a female spree killer. Thankfully, "Amanda Weiss" has a bit more going for it than that.

I've never worked in a hospital, but I have seen one and a bit seasons of The Pitt, which I reckon is the next best thing. So, I can tell you with a reasonable degree of authority that 10:00 A.M. is where things start getting a bit nuts.

The Klingons are one of the few alien races that even non-Star Trek fans have generally heard of. But the pop understanding is generally pretty simplistic – big-headed, angry warmongers, lots of makeup, deep voices.

I know it has been a while since the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world, but The Beauty clearly hasn’t forgotten the panic and paranoia...

It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.

Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.

The more I think about Fallout Season 2, the more I think I understand why it can’t quite reach the heights it’s capable of reaching, even when it’s pretty good.

The train has finally left the station, so to speak. In this case, the train is Hijack, and the station is Season 2, in case that wasn't clear.

Over the years, I've said some pretty hyperbolic stuff about Shrinking. Fair warning: That isn't going to change in Season 3.

Every time I watch Drops of God, I'm surprised again by how engaging it is. And it's about wine! I don't even drink wine; I don't understand or appreciate anything about it, yet I'm endlessly fascinated by everything that happens in this show.
