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

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

Season 2 of The Pitt continues its relentless real-time march with Episode 2, “8 A.M.,” an hour that somehow manages to pack in romantic sparks, professional turf wars, bodily horror and emotional devastation before most people have finished their first cup of coffee. True to form, the Max medical drama keeps the pressure high and the hallways crowded, even if this episode occasionally feels like too much is happening all at once.
