Hacks (S5, Ep. 1) "EGOT" Season Premiere


In comedy, they say dying is easy—it’s the legacy that’s hard. The final season premiere of Hacks literalized that, bringing Deborah Vance back from a death hoax to face her own immortality. In an hour that was a media satire and personal chess match between two comedy titans, 'EGOT' showed why this show is the gold standard of character-driven comedy. Here's my recap and review of the start of the season end.

Ghosts (S5, Ep. 15) "Michael Jackson Goes to HR"



This week, the spotlight was on the 90s 'finance bro' and his exhausted human proxy. Trevor’s past indiscretions clash with HR realities, forcing Jay into a corporate nightmare that even a fake identity can't fix. Here's my recap of 'Michael Jackson Goes to HR.'

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 18) "We Make Time" Season Finale


In this Season 2 finale, St. Denis staff chose to pause and support one of their own, shifting from busy workplace humor to a heartfelt, emotional story about family bonds. As Ron faced surgery, masks came off, and the episode became one of the most touching of the year. Here’s my recap of the finale.

Hacks Season 4

 


Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, but for Deborah and Ava, it’s more like a grenade without a pin. Season 4 of Hacks didn't just shift the stakes; it destroyed the stadium. Picking up after last season’s brutal betrayal, the show became a high-stakes psychological battle between a comedy legend fighting to protect her legacy and a protégé learning to fight dirty. Here's my take on a season that proves the only thing more dangerous than Deborah Vance is an Ava Daniels leverage.

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 17) "Here a Righteous Woman Comes"



They say in hospitals you’re either holding a clipboard or in a gown, but this week’s St. Denis Medical showed life seldom respects those lines. During an emotionally intense hour, the 'Welcome to Life' birthing center's opening became the scene for a health crisis and a romantic breakthrough, from Joyce’s sacrifice to a pivotal parking lot kiss. 'Here a Righteous Woman Comes' was a standout. Here's my recap and review.

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 16) "Experience with Human Babies"

 



Opening a top birthing center should be a career highlight, but at St. Denis, it’s more about professional sabotage and personal awkwardness. This week, staff faced hiring crises, high-altitude rescues, and Oregon's biggest stationery theft. From Joyce’s romantic struggles to Matt’s leap of faith, 'Experience with Human Babies' shows that surviving a day with these coworkers is tougher than bringing new life into the world. Here’s my recap and review.

Ghosts (S5, Ep. 14) "The Water Heater"


At Woodstone Mansion, the line between an 'amenity' and an 'ancestor' is thin. Ghosts turned a plumbing crisis into a political thriller as basement dwellers fought to save their gurgling appliance. From Isaac’s campaign for relevancy to an interdimensional breakup, 'The Water Heater' shows that whether alive or dead, the most dangerous is making unkeepable promises. Here's my recap and review.

DMV (S1, Ep. 13) "Test Drive"




Does the world really need another Vic? That is the existential question at the heart of this week's episode. From teaching apathetic teens the "rules of the road" to a Hollywood-style marketing makeover, the East Hollywood branch was anything but boring. Here's my recap and review.

A cloud of white powder erupts from an antique box. Sam and Jay freeze in horror as a reviewer watches their dream of a luxury B&B go up in smoke. Before the episode title appears, chaos at Woodstone is clear: it’s a clash between high-class recognition and an old, illegal stash.

This week, Sam and Jay reach for prestige, but ghosts haunted by old grudges emerge. In "The List," a quest for luxury hotel certification nearly spirals out of control. Here's a recap and some thoughts.

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 13) "A New Best Friend"

 



Grab your popcorn: "A New Best Friend" earns a glowing 8.5/10 for mixing shameless workplace feuds with heart, making this one of St. Denis Medical’s funniest, most relatable episodes yet. Can your husband be friends with your most narcissistic coworker? For Alex, the answer involves a harebrained scheme and a massive order of grass seeds. Here's my recap and review of "A New Best Friend."

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep.10–12) "This Is From Joyce"/"Senior Health Fair"/Nod and Agree"

 


The second season of St. Denis Medical truly shows how well the show balances the hectic hospital scenes with hilarious workplace moments that sometimes get a little awkward. Episodes 10 through 12 continue this great mix, blending emotional moments, funny surprises, and some unexpectedly touching interactions between characters. Here's my recap and review. 

St. Denis Medical (S2, Ep. 8-9) "A Waste of Time and Marble"/"You're in His Bubble Space"

This is just the first of several twists in Episodes 8 and 9, where St. Denis Medical pivots from the usual hospital hustle to dive into the staff's personal lives. The heartfelt shift adds new depth to the comedy, especially for characters like Joyce and the ever-complicated Matt and Serena. Here's my quick recap and thoughts.
