Invincible: Season 4, Episode 4 (2026) B+ EDIT “It’s a breather, and I have to give credit to series creator Robert Kirkman and showrunner Simon Racioppa for understanding that Invincible desperately needed one of those at this point. ” – AV Club Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Invincible: Season 4, Episode 3 (2026) C- EDIT “Is otherwise almost bizarrely obsessed with reprising plot points from earlier in the show.” – AV Club Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Invincible: Season 4, Episode 2 (2026) C- EDIT “... boy howdy, did I hate watching it.” – AV Club Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Invincible: Season 4, Episode 1 (2026) C- EDIT “Whatever visually exciting ideas Invincible’s animators once had for watching these big slabs of space beef slap into each other presumably ran out a few head explosions ago. Now it’s just all trolley crashes, all the time.” – AV Club Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 8 (2026) C- EDIT “Fallout does a fine job, even at its worst, of presenting a vivid portrait of the Wasteland. Rarely has it ever felt like more of a waste. ” – AV Club Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 7 (2026) B+ EDIT “Those simple cross-cuts imbue Fallout with an energy and weight that it frequently lacks, reinforcing that we’re watching one story instead of six. ” – AV Club Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 6 (2026) B EDIT “... nobody comes out of this week’s Fallout with their moral inventories unrifled, as the show launches its latest energetic, if somewhat unfocused, examination of morality at the end of the world.” – AV Club Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 5 (2026) A EDIT “All of the things that are always good about Fallout make a strong showing here, of course, as it pivots between absurdity and heartbreak, letting its Wasteland weirdos shine even as its core characters show off their fractured humanity.” – AV Club Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 4 (2026) A EDIT “Walton Goggins is clearly having fun playing the noseless devil on the young do-gooder’s shoulder, even as he expresses some quieter, darker emotions at how quickly her hard-line morals start to break down under the influence of her new compulsion. ” – AV Club Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 3 (2025) B+ EDIT “They’re mostly here to give us some sterling examples of what decent behavior isn’t.” – AV Club Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 2 (2025) B EDIT “Post-title card, we dive into an episode that’s slightly less unfocused than “The Innovator,” by dint of not trying to cram six different sets of unconnected characters, each pursuing their own goals, themes, and tones, into the frame.” – AV Club Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Fallout: Season 2, Episode 1 (2025) B- EDIT “So it’s very much a table-setting premiere, walking through where all of our characters are at. ” – AV Club Dec 17, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 8 (2025) C EDIT “As a cohesive story, it never came together, failing to grab hold of any major themes or ideas (beyond “murder clown scary,” I guess) or build anything satisfying beyond a handful of core character arcs. ” – AV Club Dec 15, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 7 (2025) C- EDIT “This episode, especially, is hurt because all of the real estate devoted to its big, flashy set piece means it has little time for the things the series is good at, i.e., grounded character work from its gifted adult cast. ” – Paste Magazine Dec 8, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 6 (2025) B EDIT “One of Welcome To Derry’s best episodes to date—when it’s not getting bogged down in Darth Vader-esque revelations about who is, or isn’t, the deluded spawn of our resident murder clown.” – AV Club Dec 1, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 5 (2025) C- EDIT “Neibolt Street just isn’t interested in using IT to reflect on either Derry’s characters or its culture. Instead, it chooses to double down on the magic rocks—which is, I regret to say, exactly the sort of thing a dumb television show might do. ” – AV Club Nov 24, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 4 (2025) B EDIT “Plot-wise, meanwhile, “The Great Swirling Apparatus” is mostly another slow burn.” – AV Club Nov 17, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 3 (2025) C+ EDIT “Which is all to say that, three episodes in, Welcome To Derry remains a well-acted, interestingly plotted drama for adults that only grudgingly seems to share time with a much-less accomplished children’s horror show. ” – AV Club Nov 10, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 2 (2025) B+ EDIT “A pretty good episode of television.” – AV Club Oct 31, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1, Episode 1 (2025) C EDIT “As is, we’ve got some effective scares, but acting, and especially writing, that can’t live up to the series’ pedigree. ” – AV Club Oct 27, 2025 Full Review King of the Hill: Season 14 (2025) 98% B+ EDIT “King Of The Hill is a rousing success. The show isn’t perfect. But that boy? He’s just right. ” – AV Club Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Murderbot: Season 1, Episode 10 (2025) B EDIT “Core performances refused to ever let it be simply worth dismissing, and its exploration of its fundamental ideas—of personhood, connection, and the ways we build a workable self... managed to weather those rockier moments intact. ” – AV Club Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Murderbot: Season 1, Episode 9 (2025) C EDIT “The episode has none of the emotional punch that powers this show’s best episodes, because it simply doesn’t give itself time to luxuriate in the feelings that produce those great scenes. ” – AV Club Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Murderbot: Season 1, Episode 8 (2025) B+ EDIT “They finally made a Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon segment that I actually liked! ” – AV Club Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Squid Game: Season 3, Episode 1 (2025) A- EDIT “What it does have is a return to the tensions that make this show so wonderfully uncomfortable, a looming game designed specifically to exacerbate them—and a proven, and unflinching, willingness to twist the knife.” – AV Club Jun 27, 2025 Full Review
