‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 3 Recap – New Beginnings and Coming Ends
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...
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Growing Up (And Old) Gracefully
I’ll be the first to admit that Shrinking Season 3 started so well that it’s basically impossible for the remaining episodes to consistently hit those heights.
‘The Wrecking Crew’ Review – This Is Way Better Than You Probably Expected

‘Best Medicine’ Episode 4 Recap – Things Are Definitely Improving
It’s fair to say that Best Medicine was starting to show some worrying signs in its previous episode. Nothing major, granted, but a bit of repetition was starting to creep in, which isn’t ideal so early in the show’s run.
‘Best Medicine’ Episode 3 Recap – Haven’t We Seen This Before?
Best Medicine is proceeding… oddly, I think it’s fair to say. On the one hand, it’s doing a very solid job of fleshing out Port Wenn as a setting, and several of its inhabitants not named Doc Martin, and these two aspects both power Episode 3, “Take Me Out of the Ballgame”.
‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 11 Recap – A Love Triangle Is Emerging
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I do wonder sometimes if High Potential is filmed out of order and assembled into a loose chronological order after the fact.
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – The Best Show On TV Is Back
Over the years, I've said some pretty hyperbolic stuff about Shrinking. Fair warning: That isn't going to change in Season 3.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 10 Recap – This Show At Its Very Best
High Potential is an above-average procedural at the best of times, and that has been evident pretty regularly in Season 2.

Good news! I think Episode 2 of Best Medicine is definitely better than the premiere, which is a good sign.
‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 9 Recap – A So-So Return to Formula
As predicted, High Potential Season 2 has returned to its standard case-of-the-week procedural format, with most of Episode 9, “Under the Rug”, proceeding as if the events of the solid second half of the art thief two-parter never happened.

‘High Potential’ Season 2, Episode 8 Recap – Back to Business
High Potential is pretty good at these two-parters, isn’t it? In case you needed a refresher, Season 2’s midseason finale left Morgan with a bit of egg on her face, since it turned out she was frolicking with the prime suspect in the case of a stolen Rembrandt and the murder of a museum curator.

As far as I know, ADD isn’t contagious, but Marcello Hernandez’s debut Netflix special, American Boy, will make you wonder. Filmed in Miami and bristling...
