CIA (S1, Ep 10" Rare Earth"



The tenth episode of CIA, “Rare Earth,” kicks off with what looks like a routine hit-and-run in Washington, D.C., and quickly escalates into a gripping geopolitical thriller. Anchored by intense performances from Tom Ellis and Aaron Stanford, the hour underscores that some of the most dangerous resources in the world aren’t oil or gold, but the rare-earth minerals hidden in the shadows of the Fusion Cell. Here's my recap and review. 

FBI (S8, Ep. 20) "Roleplay"



The latest episode of FBI, “Roleplay,” blends a high-profile murder case with a surprisingly deep dive into Jubal Valentine’s past. What starts as a seemingly straightforward investigation quickly widens into a story that tests loyalties, exposes hidden alliances, and pushes Jubal into some of his most complicated territory yet. Without giving anything away, “Roleplay” delivers a tense, character-driven hour that sets the stage for big consequences down the line.  Here's my recap and review. 

DMV (S1, Ep. 19) "Car-lette"



In this penultimate episode of the series, Colette faces a mechanical crisis that quickly becomes a deeply personal journey. Does she actually fix her car, or does she only make things worse? Here is my recap and review of “Car-lette.”

The Hunting Party (S2, Ep. 8-9) "Elliot Carr"/"Colette Akins"



The Hunting Party may be diving deeper into nightmare territory every week, but it’s doing it with style. This week’s double feature, “Elliot Carr” and “Colette Akins,” leans hard into psychological horror while still delivering character-rich, compulsively watchable TV. Between a self-flaying shoemaker on a twisted quest for redemption and a killer chasing the ghost of her father’s voice, the show keeps asking an uncomfortable question: when a system like The Pit is this cruel, are its inmates really the only monsters in the room? Here's my recap and review of episodes eight and nine of The Hunting Party Season 2.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 10) "Playing with FIre"



Playing with Fire lives up to its title with a chaotic prison bus crash that forces Kayce Dutton and Belle Skinner to confront ghosts from their pasts. The hour is high-octane and steeped in Yellowstone lore, but a predictable family reveal keeps it from reaching its full potential. Here's my recap and review. 

The Hunting Party (S2, Ep. 5-7) "Noah Cyrus"/"Lou Kaplan"/"Sidney Fairfax"




Season 2 of The Hunting Party is really turning up the intensity! With episodes featuring “Noah Cyrus,” “Lou Kaplan,” and “Sidney Fairfax,” the show dives deep into cult psychology, technology-driven fears, and complex family secrets. These three hours truly capture the essence of the season and make it an exciting watch. Here's my recap and review.
