‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6, Episode 14 Recap – The Finals Turn Explosive (Literally)

February 13 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6, Episode 13 Recap – William Zabka Absolutely Steals the Show

February 13 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

It was always a double-edged sword bringing the original cast of The Karate Kid back for Cobra Kai. Sure, it makes a lot of sense, but these weren't exactly award-winners at the time, and you can't say their careers took off wildly between the late '80s and the show's debut in 2018.

February 12 2025, by Daniel Hart

February 11 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

February 9 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 9 Recap – A Daring Rescue Brings the Show’s Drama Back Down to Earth

February 1 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

As of Episode 9, When the Stars Gossip has pretty much lost me. It’s a shame, really, since there have been so many glimmers of potential that the fact the K-Drama doesn’t seem to be cohering into anything feels like a waste.

‘Unmasked’ Episodes 5 & 6 Recap – A Late Twist Livens Things Up a Bit

January 31 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Episodes 1 & 2 Recap – It’s the Same, but Different

‘When the Stars Gossip’ Episode 7 Recap – A Drastic Climax Might Be Just What This K-Drama Needs

January 25 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

It’s the script, isn’t it? I think that’s what’s irking me about When the Stars Gossip. We’re on Episode 7 now and the K-Drama still hasn’t really improved in any meaningful sense.

January 24 2025, by Jonathon Wilson
