TV Recaps

The unexpected return of a familiar face is the gotcha moment of “Speak of the Devil”, but until then Episode 2 feels a little too glossy to be engaging.

What is Lumon up to? This is the question that powers a lot of Severance, and rightly so, since the mega-corp is central to everything despite their motives always seeming elusive.

I’ve been thinking about Persuader a lot. That’s the book that Reacher Season 3 is based on, the seventh in Lee Child’s series and one that nobody really talks about.

When Mythic Quest enjoys its writing, it’s a lot of fun. Season 4, Episode 6 is one of those well-put-together and amusing chapters. I did not want the fun to end.

Can you recall a penultimate episode of any series being less urgent than "Prime Finder"? I don't think I can. Although I'm hardly surprised at this point.

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a slumber party was something teenage girls did. Perhaps that’s true and Junior is just regressing even further into his default state of unevolved moron in the absence of his wife, who is sadly elsewhere for Episode 12 of Poppa’s House.

The premiere of Suits LA is like someone dared NBC to cram every character and subplot they plan to use in Season 1 into a single episode.

This is a big statement, but Episode 7 of Paradise is probably going to end up being the best hour of television of 2025.

I could still use more of The Pit, as a setting and a concept, but I think we're getting there to a certain extent, and in the meantime, there's enough interesting stuff going on to hold the audience's attention.

Watson isn’t doing itself any favors by titling Episode 3 “Wait for the Punchline”, since it gives smug critics like me too many openings to be all like, “Still waiting!”.

With the introductions out of the way, “Special Treatments” is another quintessential episode of The White Lotus.

It has been quite a while since the first season of 1923 ended on a relatively sour note.

Nobody really likes other people’s weddings, but it turns out a Scottish pagan witch wedding is quite a thing.

Like many people, I can’t wait for When the Stars Gossip to end. And while that might sound a little harsh, don’t worry about it, since I firmly believe that the show itself can’t wait to end either.

If I asked you what Yellowjackets is about, what would you say? For most shows, it’d be an easy question to answer, but for this one, I’m not so sure.

Despite a three-year gap between seasons after having left things on a pretty significant finale, the main takeaway from Surface’s second season premiere is that it still doesn’t seem in much of a hurry to get where it’s going.

In Episode 6 of Severance Season 2, Gretchen technically cheats on Dylan with Dylan, but it’s impossible to tell whether this is a morally justifiable action because they’re both technically the same person.

Reacher is back, and mostly unchanged, at least as far as the premiere of Season 3 goes. Is this a bad thing? No, not at all.
