The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is mostly fine, from a casual point of view, but it also serves as a reminder that Netflix don’t...

The title of Paradise Episode 5 is taken from a line in Darkness, the hauntingly beautiful Lord Byron poem that bookends this solemn chapter of what is becoming the best TV show of a still-young year.

Unmasked continues to be a confounding show in Episodes 7 & 8, and it remains difficult to know what to make of it

It was obvious from the double-bill premiere that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was a pretty good show, but Episodes 3, 4, & 5 really make it clear.

I haven’t exactly been coy about not knowing quite what to make of Unmasked, and I was more undecided than ever throughout most of Episodes 5 and 6 until a late twist at the end of the latter gave the Disney+ K-Drama a jolt of energy.

If you thought the first season of The Recruit built to a chaotic conclusion, you haven’t seen anything yet. The Season 2 finale is absolutely...

“W.S.T.W.T.P” very much has the feel of a penultimate episode, which is a nebulous thing but has a distinct flavor.

I have no idea if Owen Hendricks is a good lawyer because in two seasons of The Recruit, he hasn’t practiced any law. I don’t even think he has slept for more than five minutes, but he’s so utterly indispensable to the CIA that it’s amazing how often they keep trying to kill and/or discredit him.

Episode 3 of The Recruit Season 2, “H.H.I.I.T.K.A.L.”, finally makes the scale and the severity of the threat against the CIA clear. Now that it’s...

After laying the appropriate groundwork in the premiere, The Recruit Season 2 ping-pongs all over the place in Episode 2, “Y.A.R.A.C.O.T.D.O.P.”, roping just about every...

The Recruit Season 2 picks up minutes after the first season finale, which is perhaps just as well since the Noah Centineo-led thriller hasn’t lost...

Have you ever set off running too quickly and realized that you’re falling? The Recruit is like that. It lives in the space between realizing...

It’s fair to say that every human on Earth knows that Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider, so it’s a mercy...

I said in my recap of the premiere that Disney+’s K-Drama Unmasked is unusually forward about sex and violence, and if nothing else Episodes 3 and 4 prove me right.

It isn’t as easy as it looks to make something generic, especially on a streaming platform. A lot of hacks take shelter in genre, believing...

Given the immense popularity of The Night Agent, it was virtually inevitable that its ending wouldn’t really be an ending. Just like how the first...

With the end in sight, The Night Agent Season 2 pulls no punches in Episode 9. There’s at least one major death here, several hair-raising set-pieces, an out-of-nowhere turnaround in the Iranian subplot, and some genuine emotional catharsis to seal the deal.

There it is – that end of season feeling. It took a while, but Episode 8 is where The Night Agent Season 2 really kicks into gear, delivering significant character turns and major twists to build the stakes ahead of the final two episodes.

There’s quite a bit going on in Episode 7 of The Night Agent Season 2. “Tilt” is, I think, the densest chapter so far, the one most full of key developments and crucial turning points in virtually every ongoing subplot.

What makes a good agent? Given that’s the title of Episode 6 of The Night Agent Season 2, it’s a worthwhile question to ask, since it also forms the thematic basis of another hour that takes things pretty slowly and then explodes into action towards the end.
