[ad_1] The season that feels like it would never (or nevah, as Kyle says) end has finally concluded, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be put out of my misery. It has been an all-time bad season that marks a major low point for the franchise, largely thanks to the awful cast, who were […]
‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Recap, Season 8, Episode 10
[ad_1] Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears: Candiace Dillard-Bassett is a woman in a reality crisis. She is visibly watching herself be iced out of the cast, and her petite frame is swimming like hell to fight the tide. Housewives storylines generally follow a standard arc: conflict A, drama, resolution, onto conflict B. […]
‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 3
[ad_1] Did anyone else think we were suddenly going to have a return of Helen’s dad for the episode? There he is, holding a lamb, and then poof! He vanishes into the depths of lambing season, never to be seen again. Maybe that actor was on set and they said “Hey, let’s do a quick […]
‘Married to Medicine’ Recap, Season 10, Episode 10
[ad_1] Tonight was a dull but educational episode that touched on many pertinent social issues, ending with Dr. Jackie enlisting the women to film a public service announcement about Black maternal mortality. Though obviously nowhere as necessary as raising awareness about healthcare disparities, if I were to make a PSA of my own relating to […]
‘True Detective’ Recap, Season 4, Episode 2: ‘Part 2’
[ad_1] True Detective Part 2 Season 4 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** Photo: Michele K. Short/HBO This week’s episode of Night Country is as information-dense an hour of TV as I’ve ever seen, and it’s tempting to jump straight into logging the evidence (evidence that points in so many directions that police are still unsure […]
‘SNL’ Recap, Season 49, Episode 9: Jacob Elordi
[ad_1] In some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s seminal action flicks, audiences are asked to believe that, prior to the inciting incident, this man is simply a regular-ass, working-class stiff tucked away somewhere in suburbia, even though he appears to be a parade float of what a jacked guy looks like, with a Schnitzel-grade Austrian accent to […]
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Recap Season 16, Episode 3
[ad_1] The meeting-of-queens episode is a difficult feat. Going from seven to 14 queens is in some ways an even bigger challenge than just doing a full 14-queen premiere, because most of the audience doesn’t have a working knowledge of the individual characters yet, but there are already a lot of story lines to keep […]
‘The Traitors’ Recap, Season 2, Episode 4
[ad_1] The Traitors The Funeral Season 2 Episode 4 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** Photo: PEACOCK/PEACOCK Watching Parvati commit murder is one of my favorite half-minutes of television in recent memory. She at last chooses her victim, dispensing with any predetermined strategy and going rogue in the name of convenience: Ekin-Su. Sweet, sweet sacrificial lamb. […]
‘Reacher’ Recap, Season Two, Episode 8: ‘Fly Boy’
[ad_1] Reacher Fly Boy Season 2 Episode 8 Editor’s Rating 2 stars ** Photo: Brooke Palmer/Prime Video The two seasons of Reacher, Amazon’s most-watched series, have been a veritable catalogue of the many ways a person might have their life hastened toward a premature finale. But what is it with amoral New Age Technologies security chief Shane […]
‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Recap, Season 6, Episode 12
[ad_1] Photo: Bravo/Alexander Tamargo/Bravo When they said it was going to be Miami Swim Week and that both Julia and Kiki would be walking in the shows, I conjured up images of teeny little bikinis, of little bras with loosely tied sarongs around the hips, of the kinds of things that would be so scandalous […]
