TV Recaps

I started my coverage of The Night Agent Season 3 by reminding everyone that Peter Sutherland is a deeply terrible undercover agent, so Episode 2 shouldn’t come...

Peter Sutherland is many things, but a good undercover agent isn’t one of them. He has been pretty frantic all throughout The Night Agent, but...

I’m not sure about this one. Cross has been pretty good so far in Season 2 and had just nicely reached a pretty interesting fork in the...

Paul has been talking about The Field since the start of this season, but he probably never expected to find the solutions to his own...

“Juncture” is another decent episode of Hijack, let’s just get that out of the way. It contains one major reveal and a few fun developments, and...

Not to be hyperbolic about things, but "Dear Henry" is a properly masterful hour of television. When I talked about how Industry Season 4 gets better as it goes along, this is the kind of thing I was talking about.

Delayed gratification is the art of making someone wait for something they definitely want, and it’s an idea very neatly displayed in Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

This might be harsh, but I'm starting to wonder how stupid Alice Monroe really is. I can accept her ignoring some obvious red flags. But the more that Vanished progresses, the more it seems like there wasn't a single aspect of Alice's relationship with Tom that wasn't suspicious.

I know I'm always singing the praises of The Pitt in a way that might border on hyperbolic, but then an episode like "12:00 P.M." comes along and vindicates me entirely.

Wait, what happened to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy? I was more on board with this show than most to begin with, but I felt as...

Even though the titular product very much twists through the entire DNA of The Beauty, I’m pretty sure we didn’t need any more explanation about...

Cross Season 2 has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to providing answers about what’s really going on. This is to be expected, of course,...

Cross Season 2 seems to know where it’s going, and is in a hurry to get there. This is no bad thing, in my view,...

The first season of Cross was pretty dark, granted, but it wasn’t “burning alive and cutting the fingers off of rich child predators” dark, so...

Honesty is the best policy, or so the saying goes, but I'm not sure Sam Nelson would agree. Throughout Season 2 of Hijack, he has been pretty understandably cagey, all the better to sell the inverted premise of Apple TV+'s claustrophobic thriller.

There's a fine line between happiness and crippling trauma. It's a line that Shrinking has tiptoed along beautifully since the beginning, and never more so than in Season 3, which has an inescapable spectre looming over it that it won't allow us to forget.

Things are really starting to heat up in Memory of a Killer now. If Episode 3 was all about teasing out Angelo’s worsening Alzheimer’s issues, making vague hints about who the Ferryman might be and who might be double-crossing whom, Episode 4, “Unhappy Ending”, is about fleshing those lingering suspicions out into full-blown theories.

I do like Memory of a Killer, and I think it has a fundamentally great premise, but you can feel it wearing a little bit in Episode 3, “Samurai”. This is partly the fault of Angelo himself, who is rather in denial about his worsening memory issues and keeps neglecting them, making his already complicated situation even worse.
