TV Recaps

After an artistically triumphant deviation, Your Friends & Neighbors returns to Season 2’s overarching plot in Episode 7, and it’s perhaps just as well that it...

Every time I think I have Half Man figured out, it surprises me. Every time I feel some problems might be manifesting, it acknowledges those problems itself,...

I’m never quite sure what AMC is doing with The Terror. There are always giant gaps between seasons, the marketing is always light, nobody ever...

If the horror in the previous episode of Widow’s Bay was a monstrous face-sitting Sea Hag, then the horror in Episode 4 is being socially...

It’s probably a testament to the quality of Widow’s Bay that it’s able to make a horror concept as familiar as the creepy old hag...

If one thing is obvious about Widow’s Bay – the remote New England fishing town and not the very funny and surprisingly scary Apple TV...

Some television is designed to be aggravating, and it has been obvious since the start of Criminal Record Season 2 that this is very much...

Well, we knew it was coming. But that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with now that it’s here. It was obvious when Mark...

There's an ancient Japanese art called kintsugi. It involves repairing broken ceramics with a lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. When the object is reassembled, its repaired cracks are visible and glimmering, lacing its new form with the story of its reconstruction.

It was obvious that Kayce was going to have some difficulty explaining why he was planning to extrajudicially murder a prison escapee, but even I didn’t think that his justification for that, or indeed how it might relate to his relationship with Cal and their long-standing trauma over that fateful mission in Afghanistan, would create such a downbeat and emotionally resonant episode.

I will confess to not having enjoyed Rooster as much as I expected to. First impressions were good, of course, but its ideas and characters...

It probably says a lot about the state of contemporary society that two big shows on two major streaming platforms have delivered episodes in less than a week, each offering two different takes on the same scene. And that scene is a major character’s OnlyFans persona taking on outsized proportions and stomping Kaiju-style through a fake cityscape.

Following the apprehension of Randall Clegg, Marshals is down a Big Bad, which means it has to fill its time with something else. This is probably why Episode 10, “Playing with Fire”, gets so personal.

On the plus side, Episode 9 of Marshals is probably the most straightforwardly action-packed outing of the season, which doesn’t leave much room for any weaker subplots or wavering focus.

To say the show is called Rooster, it’s very much not about Rooster for depressingly large stretches. And given we’re right on the cusp of...

It’s story time again in From Season 4. Even though the previous episode didn’t feel as thematically specific, it was an important chapter full of...

One of the major selling points of My Royal Nemesis is that it reverses the typical direction of a transmigration gimmick. Generally, especially with an explicit time...

If you were to make a list of the happiest days of your life, for most people, getting married would be somewhere near the top....
