Photo: James Dittiger/Hulu Well, at least now we know that the red herrings Death and Other Details throws our way aren’t going to be complete wastes. If they aren’t going to affect the plot in some way, they will at least have a real story to them. Sure, Rufus and Imogene have a murder to solve, but… Continue reading ‘Death and Other Details’ Recap, Episode 4

‘The Bachelor’ Recap, Season 28, Episode 2
The Bachelor Week Two Season 28 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 3 stars *** Photo: John Fleenor/Disney I’m learning more and more about Joey each week. With each little interaction, I’m getting more and more insight into who this little creampuff is. Let’s be clear: I’m not learning any biographical information, like where he’s from or who his… Continue reading ‘The Bachelor’ Recap, Season 28, Episode 2
Real Housewives of Potomac Recap, Season 8 Episode 11
The dynamic between Karen and Gizelle has borne such memorable fruit — iconic moments of shade, back-and-forth barbs, and running bits galore have kept the Potomac viewership fed over the last few years. Their repartee is rooted in an actual history of socializing together, which gives their zingers a bit more zest than those of… Continue reading Real Housewives of Potomac Recap, Season 8 Episode 11
‘Married to Medicine’ Recap, Season 10, Episode 11
Bravo, ladies. This is how you prove Quad isn’t a necessary ingredient in the delicacy that is Married to Medicine. Things were getting bleak for a second, but we can rejoice and savor this episode as a treat for surviving the last few weeks. The doctors and wives (and Phaedra), for lack of a better word, resurrected the… Continue reading ‘Married to Medicine’ Recap, Season 10, Episode 11
‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 4
We knew cow death was coming, but we didn’t know baby cow death was coming. Unless you read the books, I guess. Or thought about the odds of it from a rural veterinary perspective. Okay, HEADS UP if you somehow read the recaps before watching — this episode deals with potential miscarriage and all the fears surrounding… Continue reading ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 4
‘True Detective’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 3: ‘Part 3’
True Detective Part 3 Season 4 Episode 3 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** Photo: Michele K. Short/HBO In Part 3, Night Country starts to resemble a classic police procedural, at least structurally. Autopsies (well, kind of) and interrogations; manhunts and working sources. There’s even a rivalry brewing between Pete Prior’s computer-reliant investigations and Evangeline Navarro’s beat policing.… Continue reading ‘True Detective’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 3: ‘Part 3’
‘SNL’ Recap, Season 49, Episode 10: Dakota Johnson
Photo: NBC/Will Heath/NBC America loves a redemption arc. It just depends on who is seeking redemption and from what. In the case of Justin Timberlake, who hard-launched his comeback on Saturday Night Live this week — arguably too soon — it may be less of an arc than a redemption quadrant. By any metric, Timberlake has had… Continue reading ‘SNL’ Recap, Season 49, Episode 10: Dakota Johnson
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Recap, Season 16 Episode 4: ‘RPR Live’
Now comes the time for me to ask a question I’m almost scared to ask: Is this season about to be … really good? Any TV show, reality or not, is likely to be hitting similar notes by its 16th season, and that’s certainly the case here. There aren’t any new archetypes, and the challenges… Continue reading ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Recap, Season 16 Episode 4: ‘RPR Live’
‘Masters of the Air’ Recap: Episode 2
The sophomore chapter of Masters of the Air opens in media res: The Bomber Boys are being debriefed — “Interrogation” was the foreboding name for this ritual — after their disastrous first mission, the aborted bombing run over the Nazi submarine pen at Bremen. Army nurses offer them shots of whiskey as they drag themselves into the barracks. A… Continue reading ‘Masters of the Air’ Recap: Episode 2

Expats Mongkok Season 1 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** Photo: Prime Video After its winding premiere peeled back a melodic mystery, the second episode of Lulu Wang’s Expats takes us back to the beginning, with a fateful meeting that led to a defining tragedy. Merely two episodes in, the show’s nonlinear structure has already proven… Continue reading ‘Expats’ Recap, Episode 2: ‘Mongkok’
