Abbott Elementary – We Still In The Mall | Season 5 Episode 11 Recap
Abbott starts this episode exactly where you’d expect: in absolute chaos. The mall is massive, the kids are bored out of their minds, and with no gym teacher in sight, the rest of the staff has been tag-teaming P.E. duties. Jacob, forever optimistic, tries to pass off walking laps around the mall as “exercise,” but the kids want dodgeball. Naturally, dodgeball wins. Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson is overwhelmed by the sheer size of the mall and desperately wants help cleaning it. He’

Starfleet Academy Season 1 Episode 3 Recap: War College vs Starfleet Academy
Starfleet Academy’s in full swing. The cadets are beginning their training. This episode opens with Caleb, Darem and Ocam sleeping peacefully in their reasonably semi-organized dorm room. Lots to unpack and literally put away in this first scene. Darem narrates a recorded personal message to his parents and the start of the episode. Like how they actually state the star date in each epi so far. Fully Charged and Ready for a New Day Star Date 868858.7: Darem’s personal messa

High Potential – Season 2, Episode 10 “Grounded” Review
“Grounded” might be one of High Potential ’s strongest episodes yet, mixing a clever mystery with real emotional stakes for Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson). The episode opens with a skydiving crew enjoying the thrill of freefall until one jumper, Alonzo Padia, mysteriously dies midair. It’s an instantly gripping setup and a great way to pull viewers in. Morgan is excited about the case, while Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) tries to keep her from getting ahead of herself. A threateni

The Rookie Season 8 Episode 3 Review: Seth’s Redemption & Lucy Faces Her Darkest Trauma
These episodes just keep getting better. Last night’s all new episode of The Rookie gave us an unexpected reunion and a callback to a storyline from an earlier season. Seth and Miles Reunite We knew Miles and Seth would be reuniting because of the sneak peek that dropped before the episode aired, so this came as no surprise. However, there were a few things I was not expecting. For starters, Seth was still going on an apology tour. I can appreciate this because everyone h

Star Search Premiere Recap: Netflix Revives a Legend — With Hits, Misses, and a Whole Lot of Nerves
More than two decades after Star Search last crowned future stars and crushed hopeful dreams on network television, the iconic talent competition has officially entered the Netflix era. The Star Search premiere arrived with glossy production values, real-time audience voting and a judging panel that, on paper looked like a group chat gone rogue. And yet, against all odds, the reboot’s first night mostly worked. In a TV landscape already oversaturated with singing competitio

Doc Season 2 Episode 12 Recap: Amy Fights for Her Job
When “Inquisition” kicked off, Doc plunged us straight into chaos and we ate it up. Season 2’s Episode 12 delivered a mash‑up of medical crisis, hospital board drama, buried flashbacks and emotional reckonings that finally started to untangle the Hannah storyline that’s dogged Westside all season. If you tuned in for surgical stakes and boardroom backstabbing, you got all of it plus a few surprises that solidified this as one of the season’s most compelling episodes. Openin

Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 4 “Fix Me Up, Girl” Review: Messy Confessions, Weaponized Secrets and the Art of Emotional Sabotage
If Tell Me Lies has taught us anything over the years, it’s that no one on this show ever says what they mean and when they finally do, it’s usually too late. Season 3, Episode 4, “Fix Me Up, Girl,” leans hard into that tradition, delivering one of the season’s messiest, most psychologically bruising hours yet. This is Tell Me Lies at its most unhinged: secrets spreading faster than common sense, relationships rotting in real time and Stephen DeMarco once again proving he’

'Ponies' Review: Peacock’s Cold War Spy Thriller Is Smart, Stylish, and Sneakily Emotional
There’s something deeply satisfying about a spy story that knows how to sharpen its heels before stepping into dangerous territory. Ponies , Peacock’s glossy new Cold War thriller, arrives with an irresistible hook: two overlooked American women in 1970s Moscow, dismissed as background players, quietly turning the tables on global intelligence agencies. In an era crowded with grim prestige dramas and nostalgia-heavy espionage tales, Ponies manages to feel both classic and re

Review: High Stakes or Low Interest? Sophie Turner’s ‘Steal’ Is a Slo-Mo Heist That Demands a Binge
If there is one thing we know about the British television landscape, it’s that they love a sterile office building and a "pension fund in peril" plotline almost as much as they love a rainy afternoon. Enter Steal , the latest high-octane (or at least high-anxiety) thriller to hit Prime Video. Dropping all six episodes on January 21, 2026 , the series asks a question we’ve heard a dozen times before: when billions go missing, are the low-level employees victims of circumstanc

High Potential Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: “Under the Rug”
High Potential Season 2, Episode 9, “Under the Rug,” leans hard into its darker themes, delivering an episode that’s as much about Morgan Gillory’s emotional unraveling as it is about the crime itself. By the end of the hour, secrets are exposed, relationships are tested, and Morgan is left visibly changed. The episode’s central case starts with a suspicious canyon crash, a dead hitman, and a lot of golfballs but Morgan (played by Kaitlin Olson) quickly realizes it’s no accid

Industry Season 4 Episode 2 Review: The Most Uncomfortable Episode Yet
We’re back with another episode of Industry this week & wow, another great episode in the books. This one was a little different in the sense that we’re focused primarily on Jasmin and Henry’s relationship and how their lives are going. I was expecting it to be more Yasmin centric than Henry, but they both get a fair amount of screentime and it gives us a lot of context to what’s going on in Henry’s mind and how that directly or indirectly affects Yas. Soon after opening the

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 1 Review: Game of Thrones Goes Sitcom?
The Game of Thrones universe expands once again with the premiere of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and for longtime fans, it’s an adventure that is…unexpectedly lighthearted.

Review: Landman Season 2 Episode 10: Billy Bob Thornton Carries Landman to the Finish Line in Season 2’s Finale
Did they really just save the best for last? If you have spent any time on the Patch this season, you know it has been a rather circuitous road to get to the series’ most well-rounded episode — that is, the season 2 finale of Landman. The gritty, over-the-top oil drama from Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, originally inspired by the podcast Boomtown, brings its sophomore season to a close with a wrap up that puts characters back in the lane they know best and hints at

Review: Hamnet is Chloe Zhao’s Perfect Comeback Film
Hamnet came out in the UK last week, and since I work in the Bard’s hometown, the cinema where I work—The Everyman Cinema in Stratford-upon-Avon—became the busiest cinema in the entire country for the film. Based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet follows a dramatized version of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes Hathaway (more commonly known as Anne Hathaway) as they cope with the death of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet. The film is directed by Oscar-winning filmm
