How long will it be before Nate returns to AFC Richmond with his tail between his legs? Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 4 dug deeper into Nate’s machinations before revealing that he’s not happy at West Ham. Leaving AFC Richmond high and dry was the only way forward for Nate, but if “Big Week” proved

Why couldn’t Shaun be wrong this one time? He spent most of The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 18 insisting that Glassman’s recent surgical performance proved that Glassman’s brain cancer had returned. Most of his evidence seemed nonsensical, and Glassman didn’t think there was any cause for concern. But when Glassman agreed to do the

Prequels are all the rage these days. We love returning to beloved universes that feel familiar but have new stories to tell. Prime Video’s A League Of Their Own was a terrific example of taking the framework of the source material and transforming it into something that feels relevant to modern audiences and uplifts voices

Days of Our Lives has had a balance problem for a while. It often seems like there are too many stories and characters, and some get lost in the shuffle. Some characters and storylines dominate available airtime, while others vanish for weeks. The off-kilter pacing of some stories can kill viewer interest or make fans

We got the most satisfying conclusion we could’ve hoped for with the final part of the two-part event. It was a relief to see that by the end of Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 12, Tia and her baby survived. Despite a dislocated shoulder, Addison returned to the road with renewed determination and Can-Do. And

Welcome to the final countdown. Succession Season 4 Episode 1 starts the clock ticking on the final season as we wait to find out exactly how the title pans out. Who will succeed Logan Roy, and how will they do it? It begins with the idea that Kendall, Shiv, and Roman might go their own

We made some headway on the Beckett situation, which grew more tragic by the second. The squad staged a mutiny on Station 19 Season 6 Episode 11 when Andy, with the others backing her, opted to defy Beckett’s orders and leadership in the field while combatting a fire at Tomas’ barbershop. The ramifications of that

Regina’s all about helping young girls make good decisions. That’s why she’s coaching the track team. But on East New York Season 1 Episode 16, the people she works with kept making horrible choices. Suarez’s naivety was astounding, and Killian’s decision to take $10,000 from a guy who is almost certainly a mob boss wasn’t

The third to last episode of Shadow and Bone’s second season did not disappoint. Shadow and Bone Season 2 Episode 6 saw a central character’s death and the epic Firebird reveal. The Crows also dealt with their significant discovery while repairing some relationships in Durat fashion. We got no update on Matthias besides him burying

TV lost a true visionary when Donald Glover’s Atlanta wrapped up a spectacular four-season run on FX last year. Lucky for us, he’s not done making great television yet, and Atlanta fans will feel right at home with his new horror thriller Swarm, premiering this Friday on Prime Video. (I’ve seen all seven episodes.) Brutally

No, no one got slapped at this year’s Oscars — but then again, there’s something to be said for a little bit of unscripted chaos. It’s been a strange couple of years for the Academy Awards: The 2021 ceremony was an awkward, socially distanced COVID-era affair that sunk to a new ratings low (just 10.4

While the crew tried to find a new fuel source, Lt. Lane grappled with his newfound secret. The Ark Season 1 Episode 6 revealed more about the William Trust secret, and we finally found out why Lt. Brice kept his secrets. These plot threads melded together well, and the series produced the best episode of

It’s fitting that Prime Video’s new series Daisy Jones & the Six charts the rise and fall of a popular ’70s rock band, because the show actually feels like a double album from that era: overly long and often self-indulgent, but with scattered bits of greatness that make the whole thing worthwhile. Daisy Jones —

This Accused episode will correct that wrong if you have never felt the searing awareness of the injustice against Indigenous people.  The family unit extends past their household into the tribe, with loyalties tested left and right. Accused Season 3 Episode 6 takes the viewers deep into the Navajo culture by looking at the social

In both of the narratives Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 2 presents, a rich assortment of developments is spread throughout. On M’Talas Prime, we learn Raffi’s husband runs a bar and works as an artist, and her handler is Worf, son of Mogh, of the Klingon House of Martok, of the Human family Rozhenko,

It bears remembering that Night Court judges are all a little wacky. Night Court Season 1 Episode 7 substitutes Abby’s sunny, good-natured wisdom of Solomon with the questionable cognitive abilities of Judge Flobert. In Abby’s absence, things get a little out of hand as the inmates take control of the madhouse… er, courthouse. And Judge

We’re flooded with so many revivals these days that it’s hard to get too excited about any one of them, but the return of Party Down does warm my heart… and surprise me a bit. The cult comedy about showbiz wannabes moonlighting as L.A. caterers is one of TV’s great gone-too-soon shows, getting the axe

Is that blood in the water? No, it’s a bloodbath! The claws came out, and the stunts were brought to the main stage on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 8. No one is safe during the Lalaparuza. We were on the edge of our seats to see how this round would turn out. (And

Poor Maggie had to make some tough choices. That’s because her mentor came to town, and something was off about her on FBI Season 5 Episode 13. It was enjoyable to indirectly look back at a younger Maggie through Gwen’s eyes. And didn’t OA eat that up? . It was a very organic way that the

Sometimes all we need is a pitcherful of mimosas for life’s dilemmas to come clear. And sometimes, as in Fantasy Island Season 2 Episode 6, we need to dig deeper. The time loop premise is the ultimate do-over scenario, but Oliver is trying to solve the puzzle without all the pieces, just as Elena has

They’re not going to kill off Spencer and Alex that easily, but 1923 Season 1 Episode 6 doesn’t let the two adventuring lovebugs off the hook just yet. The good news is that things in Montana are picking up speed. The Duttons are no longer all alone in their fight for survival. But by the

It has to be hard to be Joe Hill. He didn’t grow up with Frank and feels like he’s always living in his late father’s shadow — and he didn’t even know the guy. He also isn’t used to Frank disciplining his relatives the same way he would any cop who screwed up, which also

I’m issuing a red alert to all Star Trek fans, especially the Next Generation faithful out there: If you’ve already abandoned ship on Star Trek: Picard, it’s time to beam back onboard. The upcoming third and final season on Paramount+ — premiering Thursday, Feb. 16; I’ve seen the first six episodes — is easily the best

Seriously, how does Joe get himself into these situations? We finally learn who the real Eat the Rich Killer is in the fast-paced YOU Season 4 Episode 5, and after many red herrings and segue ways, the truth is likely precisely who you’d expect: Rhys. Rhys is far too clever for Joe, both calculated and

Jordan’s heart was in the right place, but she still almost crossed a line. Whether or not thirteen-year-olds should be having sex with each other, she allowed her beliefs to cloud her judgment. Jordan might have made a terrible mistake on The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 12. Shaun’s refusal to discuss the issue came

How much death and destruction can one family take? 1923 Season 1 Episode 5 broke my heart into pieces, and after what we’ve come to know with the Yellowstone prequels, it would be silly to hold out hope. The light of the family may be gone before anyone even got a chance to see it.

Frank was so disgusted by some cops’ negligence that he floated the idea of perp walking them. In real life, police brutality is too often in the news, and people are divided over the issue of whether the bad cops are bad apples. We need more police leaders like Frank, willing to hold officers accountable

Freddie is on the hunt for the truth. Well, more like the truth about ghosts. His suspicions have led him to purchase some ghost-hunting equipment on Ghosts Season 2 Episode 13. The perpetually cheerful assistant had plenty of drive to prove his theories right. However, just like any episode of Ghosts, the spirits of Woodstone

Something tells me that Jet’s undercover stint is a terrible idea. On Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 3 Episode 12, Jet went back into the field, donning a long black wig and a revealing dress to catch a criminal’s eye. She got her way. Seamus can’t stop thinking about her, and he’s the right-hand

If you went in and digitally removed all the smartphones from Peacock’s new series Poker Face, it could’ve aired right alongside Columbo and The Rockford Files in a 1970s NBC primetime lineup. Co-creators Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne dust off a creaky old format — the guest-star-studded mystery of the week — and put a stylish spin
