in EpisodesSuccession Series Finale Breakdown: Family
The Succession series finale is now in the books. I haven’t seen any social media reactions as of this writing, but “With Open Eyes” was a tough watch. It’s depressing. It’s true to life and to the characters. This series was a tragedy more than a drama or even a comedy, and like any tragedy, […] More

The following recap contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Yellowjackets, S2E9, “Storytelling” (written by Ameni Rozsa and directed by Karyn Kusama) Generally I’ve approached these recaps by structuring my thoughts around the characters.

Silo S1E5 Recap: “The Janitor’s Boy” Leaves Things a Little Messy
The following recap contains spoilers for Silo S1E5, “The Janitor’s Boy” (written by Graham Yost and directed by David Semel) As Silo S1E5 opens, we learn that Marnes (Will Patton) is dead.

Summer 2023 TV Premieres: Release Dates for New and Returning Series
Long gone are the days when TV in the summer meant a mish-mash of reruns shown in no particular order. We’ve got a pretty full slate of new shows and seasons set to premiere in the summer of 2023, and I couldn’t be more excited. “Go outside!” they’ll say. But I would prefer not to. […] More

The following recap contains spoilers for White House Plumbers S1E4, “The Writer’s Wife” (directed by David Mandel and written by Alex Gregory & Peter Huyck). While White House Plumbers retains a lot of the ridiculous comedy that has punctuated the series so far, “The Writer’s Wife” is definitely a bit more serious in tone as the walls begin closing in on the Plumbers […] More

The penultimate episode of Succession is in the books. The promise made in the beginning of the series—that one of the Roy siblings would replace their father—is where we’re at here at the end of the series. Succession S4E9, titled “Church and State,” saw us likely say goodbye to many, possibly shed a few tears, […] More

The following recap contains spoilers for Somebody Somewhere S2E5, “NMB NMP” (written by Rachel Axler and directed by Lennon Parham) “NMB NMP” ends with Sam (Bridget Everett), glum and alone, eating eggs from a takeout container at her kitchen table.

Barry S4E7 Breakdown: Endgame
Barry’s penultimate episode was one of the series finest. Hysterical yet full of drama, action and twists and turns, all of which have become hallmarks of the show. It’s astonishing how much Bill Hader and team packs into 30 minutes. A tightly compacted story that is still funny in ways unlike any other show on […] More

Silo S1E4 Recap: “Truth” Is More a Promise Than an Answer
The following recap contains spoilers for Silo S1E4, “Truth” (written by Remi Aubuchon and directed by David Semel) I mentioned last week that part of what drew me to Silo is the fact that Graham Yost is credited as the show’s creator. I’m a huge fan of Boomtown, and I would happily go on at […] More
