TV Recaps

Unbelievable (S1/E4) Garden-Variety Horrible Marie doesn’t even think she can trust herself, let alone the system that’s failed her for her entire life.
Undone (S1/E7) Alma at the Wedding The battle between the demands of Alma’s day-to-day life and those of her dead father come to a head, inevitably, at Becca’s wedding.
Succession (S2/E6) We Here for You Amid panels, nature hikes, and $75 Cobb salads, a new threat to the family’s survival emerges.
The Affair (S5/E4) Whitney’s Story For the first time, the eldest Solloway offspring gets her own POV, and it’s crushing.
Undone (S1/E6) Would You Light My Candle? An episode spent outside of Alma’s very unique headspace shows us how she looks to the rest of the world — and frankly, it’s not always great.
