TV Recaps

With some TV shows, you can just tell they’re good. I don’t mean “decent”, either – I mean properly, prestige.

For two seasons, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was inseparable from its French setting.

As expected, Episode 6 of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty revolves around Ji-young rising up to defend Joseon’s reputation in front of the Ming Dynasty.

You can tell we’re approaching the end of Beyond the Bar because we’re getting into the territory of needlessly long episodes.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has been pretty knockabout so far, but the margins have always contained a much more serious show.

I don’t like to say “I told you so”, but it only took until Episode 4 for The Rainmaker to prove me right about Rudy and Sarah.

The more it goes on, the more it seems like Peacemaker Season 2 is pretty specifically about Chris Smith’s relationship with Emilia Harcourt.

Despite being the shortest and most contained episode of Chief of War thus far, "Day of Spilled Brains" might nonetheless be the outing that best sums up the story's essentials.

Generally speaking, I don't like Invasion very much. Never have, really. And the first two episodes of Season 3 have largely been really good examples of why.

I've never been more thankful for a flashback episode. Usually, such things are the lowest common denominator of flat-pack TV storytelling, but after whatever was going on in the previous episode, I’m just thankful for a reprieve from Boy Kavalier.

Wednesday Season 2 peaked with its Freaky Friday body-swap episode, so it was inevitable that Episode 7, "Woe Me the Money", would feel like a bit of a step down.

The lingering questions of what Wednesday was doing with its Season 2 storylines after that midseason premiere are answered pretty much immediately in Episode 6, so don't worry about it.

There are two major selling points of "Hyde and Woe Seek", beyond the obvious fact that it's the Part 2 premiere and follows on directly from the Part 1 mid-season finale.

If The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is proving anything, it’s that joint CIA/Mossad black ops are a little bit tumultuous, which, to be fair, probably shouldn’t come...

The truth is a fluid thing, wriggly and uncertain. It’s time-sensitive, open to interpretation, and matters less than the story it’s wrapped in. When you...

I can’t think of anything worse than spending ages locked in a car with Will from Platonic, which is a bit of an obstacle since...

How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.

Twelve leaves us with a lot of questions after Episode 4. On some level, this isn’t a terrible thing, since it wouldn’t do for a show to give all of its secrets away out of the gate.
