This week in TV is all about consequences—some shocking, some emotional, and some that blur the line between truth and illusion.
Welcome back to TV Corner Notes, where we’re diving into a packed week of television that spans everything from high-stakes drama to long-awaited returns. I’m breaking down the latest episode of Imperfect Women, where one bad decision sends everything spiraling, and the return of Daredevil: Born Again, which picks up right where it left off with grit, intensity, and a city on edge.
Plus, I’ve got your full rundown of what to watch this week—because between finales, premieres, and a few intriguing new releases, there’s no shortage of TV to keep up with.
What I Watched This Week
Imperfect Women "Monster"
The fallout from Nancy’s death hits a breaking point in “Monster,” an episode that shifts from grief to full-blown scandal.
This hour is all about cracks forming—and then widening fast. Eleanor’s carefully constructed life starts to unravel after a tense confrontation with Robert, who reveals he knew more about Nancy’s affair than he ever let on. He denies involvement in her murder, but the damage is done. And in true bad decision fashion, Eleanor leans back into him anyway… only for things to explode when his daughter catches them together and sends it straight to TikTok. From there, it’s a rapid spiral—public humiliation, legal pressure, and total isolation.
Meanwhile, Mary is digging deeper, uncovering disturbing clues in Nancy’s journals that point toward a much darker past. But the real gut punch comes when police realize Eleanor has no solid alibi for the night Nancy died. A flashback reveals Nancy begged her for help just hours before her murder, and Eleanor said no. It’s the kind of moment that doesn’t just haunt a character, it reshapes the entire investigation.
Performance-wise, Kerry Washington is fantastic at capturing Eleanor’s slow unraveling, while Elisabeth Moss continues to ground the chaos with a quieter, more focused intensity. The episode moves quickly and keeps the tension high, even if the viral scandal subplot occasionally tips into melodrama. Still, “Monster” does what it needs to do—it raises the stakes and turns suspicion inward.
Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.
With Mary claiming she finally knows who “David” is and Eleanor now firmly in the spotlight, the question is: are we getting closer to the truth… or just deeper into the mess?
Daredevil: Born Again — “The Northern Star”
After what felt like forever, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is finally back, and honestly, it was worth the wait.
The Season 2 premiere throws us straight into the chaos, with Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) taking on a high-stakes weapons operation tied to Wilson Fisk’s growing control over the city. And yes, Fisk is more dangerous than ever, now operating as mayor and pulling strings that reach way beyond the streets.
What really works here is the tone. It feels like a true return to that gritty, grounded world fans loved, mixing brutal action with real emotional weight, especially as Matt’s trauma starts to resurface. And that ending? It’s not perfect, but it comes pretty close to capturing that original magic.
Check out my full recap and review.
