‘All’s Fair’ Episode 7 Recap – This Show Simply Isn’t Serious

December 2 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Sorry, but what is going on here? All's Fair hasn't exactly been easy to take seriously since the beginning, but Episode 7 takes the show's blurring of drama and comedy to such an extreme that I have no real idea of whether it's finally revealing itself as an outright parody or is simply so rubbish that the distinction has become meaningless.

‘Palm Royale’ Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – Maxine Solves A Murder… Sort Of

November 26 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

In hindsight, Palm Royale delivered one of its best ever episodes last week, setting a high bar for Season 2, and it was very unlikely that Episode 3, “Maxine Solves a Murder”, was going to clear it.

‘Jingle Bell Heist’: A Christmas Caper That Steals Your Time, Not Your Heart

November 26 2025, by Naomi Mairs

‘DMV’ Episode 7 Recap – Out Of Office Advantage

November 25 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

It would be a bit of a stretch to say that the East Hollywood DMV office has ever really felt like a team. It’s a designation that most of the employees would actively avoid in usual circumstances, but Episode 7 of the CBS sitcom, “There Is No I in DMV”, is not operating under usual circumstances.

‘All’s Fair’ Episode 6 Recap – Sarah Paulson’s Brilliance Can’t Escape A Wonky Script

November 25 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Remember when Ryan Murphy inexplicably spent a whole hour of All’s Fair trying to make us feel sorry for Carrington Lane? That was weird, right? Then again, the whole show’s weird, so what can you do? Episode 6 wants you to forget about that anyway.

The Ending Of ‘Tulsa King’ Season 3 Is A Backdoor Pilot For A Spin-Off

November 23 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

If the penultimate episode of Tulsa King Season 3 didn’t quite feel like a penultimate episode, that’s counterbalanced somewhat by the fact that the ending really does...

‘DMV’ Episode 6 Recap – This Show Is Determined to Make A Hypocrite Of Me

November 20 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

Since DMV started, I’ve complained pretty consistently about the focus on Colette and the one-note mode the character generally operates in.
