Wednesday Season 2 peaked with its Freaky Friday body-swap episode, so it was inevitable that Episode 7, "Woe Me the Money", would feel like a bit of a step down.
‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Episode 6 Recap – A Freaky Friday Send-Up (With Added Lady Gaga)

‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episodes 3 & 4 Recap – These Runtimes Are Much Too Long
How long is too long? I ask because Bon Appetit, Your Majesty runs for nearly 90 minutes every episode, and it feels like the story is moving slowly to accommodate that in Episodes 3 & 4.
‘Twelve’ Episode 4 Recap – A Dull Outing Relying On Hints Instead Of Answers
Twelve leaves us with a lot of questions after Episode 4. On some level, this isn’t a terrible thing, since it wouldn’t do for a show to give all of its secrets away out of the gate.
‘Twelve’ Episode 3 Recap – Things Are A Little Too One-Sided
Good TV conflict always creates the impression that the villains have the upper hand, only for the heroes to rally and save the day in the end, but I do wonder if Twelve might be going a bit far with it.
‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, Episode 2 Recap – This Show Is Very Funny, But Also Deeply Sad
For a comic book show, Peacemaker is becoming surprisingly character-driven in Season 2, and for such a funny comedy, it’s also deeply sad at its core.
‘Invasion’ Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – The Most Annoying Character Ever Is Back
I don't think there's much point in moaning about Invasion's pacing anymore.
‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2 Ending Explained – We’re Not Done With This Show Yet
The final round of the Twisted Metal tournament performs as advertised. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 are carnage from top to bottom, killing off the...
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 4 Recap – An Uncharacteristically Dull Chapter
I’ve been a bit sceptical of Alien: Earth hinging so much of its drama on the idea of kids in adult bodies, but Episode 4, “Observation”, makes me think it might have been in service of one thing in particular.
‘Twelve’ Episode 2 Recap – Rapid Pacing Might Be A Secret Weapon
Twelve has a superpower of its own, and while it isn’t animal-themed, it’s undeniably extremely effective – pace.
‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ Episodes 1 & 2 Recap – Your Starter Has Arrived
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is, and I don’t say this lightly, possibly the most quintessentially “K-Drama” K-Drama that ever did K-Drama.
‘The Institute’ Ending Explained – A Lot Of Symbolism and Payoff, But Little Closure
Stephen King is the most famous horror writer in the world, which is worth remembering sometimes, because The Institute isn’t really a horror story. It’s...
‘Twelve’ Episode 1 Recap – A Serviceable Premiere Lays the Right Groundwork

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, Episode 1 Recap – Two For The Price Of One
Peacemaker is back for Season 2, and not just back, but back into a new DC Universe.
‘Invasion’ Season 3, Episode 1 Recap – A Glacial Premiere Stays True To Form
The most apt description of any episode of Invasion generally begins with, "Not much happened, but...". This holds true in the Season 3 premiere, "The Ones We Leave Behind", which has the unenviable task of setting up a new status quo after the Season 2 finale.
‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2, Episodes 8 & 9 Recap – A Team-Building Exercise
There's no vehicular combat in Episodes 8 & 9 of Twisted Metal Season 2, which, for an adaptation of a video game franchise built entirely around vehicular combat, seems a tad concerning.
‘Alien: Earth’ Episode 3 Recap – When Is A Machine Not A Machine?
“Metamorphosis” is defined as a transformational change, often from an immature form to an adult one, so despite conjuring images of butterflies bursting from chrysalises, as far as Alien: Earth is concerned, it applies less to the Xenomorphs and more to the Lost Boys.
‘The Institute’ Episode 7 Recap – We Finally Know The Truth (Or Do We?)
“Out of the frying pan and into the fire” comes to mind when watching Episode 7 of The Institute.
