‘Watson’ Season 2, Episode 13 Recap – So, Laila Is Still In This After All
With no Sherlock in sight, Watson Season 2 always seems to work better. More so than that, Episode 13 finally remembers Laila exists! More to...

As if it wasn’t bad enough that Marshals unceremoniously killed off Monica, now it’s giving Kayce Dutton a new love interest? Yikes. And a blonde,...
‘Paradise’ Season 2, Episode 7 Recap – The Link and Alex Conundrums
Folks, we have some speculating to do. Paradise Season 2 is obviously building towards a big finale, and it’s doing it by raising some extremely interesting questions...
‘DTF St. Louis’ Episode 4 Recap – I Think This Might Be the Best Show On TV
It’s a testament to how good DTF St. Louis is that the cold open of Episode 4, rather drily titled “Missouri Mutual Life & Health Insurance Company”,...
‘The Comeback’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – Let the Farewell Tour Begin
Given that The Comeback has always been a show with an eerie soothsaying quality about it, it’s really no surprise that Season 3 – which...

‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2, Episode 4 Recap – Heists Are Always Fun
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn't been slacking in Season 2, but I still think Episode 4 is the best of this run yet. "Trespass" doesn't quite have the character depth of the previous installment, and the flashbacks have almost entirely dried up now that we've established how Titan X connects to Santa Soledad and, of course, what happened between Lee and Keiko.
‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 11 Recap – Ice Saves A Life, and ICE Risks One
A lot can happen in two hours. Nobody is learning this quicker than the staff at PTMC, who keep reminding everyone that they're only a couple of hours away from the end of what has been a veritable shift from hell. But we're not there yet.
‘Imperfect Women’ Episode 2 Recap – These Two Are Rotten
Episode 2 of Imperfect Women is built around the most obvious “twist” in the history of television, but if we’re being charitable, I’d suggest that the whole thing isn’t intended as a twist as much as a grim inevitability.
‘Imperfect Women’ Episode 1 Recap – I Don’t Think This Is How People Grieve
You can’t have a TV friendship without one of you dying. Those are just the rules, I think, and at least in Episode 1, Apple TV+’s Imperfect Women operates on the assumption that murder isn’t surprising to anyone, least of all the audience.
‘Cross’ Season 2 Ending Explained – Down With the System
The ending of Cross Season 2 is, in a way, at war with itself. On the one hand, it has to resolve the plot as...
‘Shrinking’ Season 3, Episode 8 Recap – Boundaries and Bad First Dates
It’s a testament to how consistently well-written the characters in Shrinking are that the broad sweep of “Depression Diet” is obvious, even when the episode...

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse for Angelo in Memory of a Killer, Episode 7 comes along. “Dr. Parks” is the first...
‘Marshals’ Episode 3 Recap – Progress Is A Bad Word In Montana
“Progress” is a nebulous term at the best of times, especially given the wavering politics of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, so it’s little surprise that Marshals...
‘Paradise’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – So Jane Has Always Been Bonkers
Paradise has always been resistant to the idea of a simple antagonist. We’ve seen this play out a number of times with even the show’s...
