Honesty is the best policy, or so the saying goes, but I’m not sure Sam Nelson would agree. Throughout Season 2 of Hijack, he has been...

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...

Things are really starting to heat up in Memory of a Killer now. If Episode 3 was all about teasing out Angelo’s worsening Alzheimer’s issues,...

I do like Memory of a Killer, and I think it has a fundamentally great premise, but you can feel it wearing a little bit...

Yeah, yeah, I know. Tell Me Lies is about highly dysfunctional people doing deeply deplorable things. Always has been. But even by those standards, Season 3 has...

No dog chasing a car ever stopped to consider what it might do if it caught it, and similarly, Camille and Issei never really thought...

Things seemed bad enough for Alice Monroe. Her boyfriend, Tom, was not only afraid of commitment, but also missing. And she couldn’t seem to trust anyone she met to help her, which, in a show titled Vanished is kind of expected, but nonetheless constitutes a problem.

In its limited screentime thus far, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has done a pretty remarkable job of communicating a much more hopeful tone than you’d necessarily expect from a show set in the same brutal universe as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

There are a lot of good ideas in “Eyes Without a Face”. It's the first proper out-of-office hour of Industry Season 4, which is always nice, sending two underused characters to a far-flung location on a side mission that rattles the foundations of the main plot.

I think it’s fair to say that Spartacus: House of Ashur has earned a finale like Episode 10, “Hail Caesar”. Things haven’t been going especially well for...

Having just spent 13 consecutive hours in a hospital, I was particularly sensitive to The Pitt in "11:00 A.M.", perhaps more so than any other episode in Season 2 thus far. This is likely because Episode 5 has a strong undercurrent of time-management, or perhaps more accurately how impossible it is to manage time in a clinical setting.

If there has been a persistent complaint about modern Star Trek, it’s that it doesn’t feel very much like Star Trek of old. This accusation has been levelled at Starfleet Academy with great gusto, so it’s probably no surprise that Episode 5, “Series Acclimation Mil”, seems designed to be a deliberate counter to it.

Of course it’s the billionaires! If you were going to sell an experimental trial drug that radically rewrote your DNA for an unfeasibly large amount of money, it’d make complete sense to pitch it directly to people with more money than sense, those to whom small matters like FDA approval – you know, the rules that the plebs are bound by – are small concerns.

The hook of Hijack has always been a claustrophobic setting. In Season 1, it was a plane, while in Season 2, it’s a train, but ironically, this season has started to improve by expanding its viewpoint.

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.

People haven’t been especially keen on Season 2 of Fallout, for some reasons that make a degree of sense and some that don’t, but it’s...

A themed party, a drinking game, and a lot of questionable decision-making -- at first blush, "I Don't Cry When I'm Sad Anymore" is Tell Me Lies performing precisely as advertised.

You can always tell when Brilliant Minds is due to go on hiatus, since that’s when it wheels out the big guns. Season 2 hasn’t had very...

You can tell that Vanished is keeping its cards pretty close to its chest, since after Episode 1, “Rosefinch”, I still couldn’t say with any real certainty that I know more about what’s going on than when I started.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The big reveal of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally arrives in Episode 3, "The Squire", and it's about time, too, since virtually everyone watching the show will have figured it out already.
