Monday Musings: Let’s Talk About the Last Two Episodes of Squid Game
Taking a deeper look at the final hours of Netflix’s breakout hit Squid Game.
First Impressions: Ordinary Joe (NBC)
NBC’s takes a second swing at time-lapse nostalgia with an underwhelming James Wolk vehicle.
First Impressions: Stumptown (ABC)
Stumptown has all the makings of the next great network crime procedural… if it gets the chance.
First Impressions: Emergence (ABC)

First Impressions: Prodigal Son (Fox)
Prodigal Son is a pale imitation of better shows.

First Impressions: Now Apocalypse (Starz)
