‘Saturday Night Live’ Review: ‘Owen Wilson/Kacey Musgraves’
“Michael Che talks trash from a desk (and on his Instagram stories), but who’s going to challenge the audience from the main stage with some weird, wild stuff?”
Soundtracks of Television: ‘Ordinary Joe’

Review: John Krasinski’s ‘A Quiet Place’
โโA Quiet Placeโย masterfully builds tension, pays it off in unexpectedly satisfying ways and provokes genuine emotional investment in its characters with precious few traditional tools at its disposal.โ
The Dueling Cavalier: Gravity of Violence in โSicarioโ
A Column by Max Bledstein
An Abrupt Ending: Hannibal ‘The Wrath of the Lamb’ (Recap)
“If The Wrath of the Lamb doesnโt quite work as a series finale, itโs only because it wasnโt really supposed to be one.”
Obscuring and Clarifying Evil: Hannibal ‘The Number of the Beast is 666โ (Recap)
“Another week of Hannibal, another gripping second act septic.”
Personalizing Murder: Hannibal ‘โฆAnd the Beast from the Sea’ (Recap)
“Instead of merely asking viewers to care about a victim with whom we have no ties, Fuller tugs on our heartstrings by having his antagonist target the family of the protagonist weโve gotten to know for nearly three full seasons.”
Looking Wider: Hannibal ‘And the Woman Clothed with the Sunโฆ’ (Recap)
“If last weekโs โThe Great Red Dragonโ was centered around the two killers who now share the villainous duties on Hannibal, โAnd the Woman Clothed with the Sunโฆโ has a broader focus.”
Inside the Minds of Murderers: Hannibal ‘The Great Red Dragon’ (Recap)
“The sound of Hannibal has always been one of its strongest elements, thanks in large part to Brian Reitzellโs terrifying score, and the auditory depiction of Dolarhydeโs plight is no exception.”
Transplanting Sympathies and Influence: Hannibal โDigestivoโ (Recap)
โDigestivoโ feels almost like a bottle episode due to its concentration on Masonโs Muskrat Farm, and the close quarters are the perfect setting for seeing the characters play off one another.
Transformation, Resurrection and Close-Ups: Hannibal ‘Dolce’ (Recap)
“Perhaps the water from the beginning of the episode points more towards resurrection than forgiveness, and if the rest of the season is as strong as “Dolce,” one can only hope Hannibal’s fate will point in the same way.”
Recap: Hannibal ‘Contorno’
“As the plot of Hannibal continues to move forward, it also wonโt stop looking back.”
Recap: Hannibal ‘Aperitivo’
“This weekโs hour was the first of the season not directed by Vincenzo Natali, and his aesthetic sensibility/attention to detail feels missing throughout the episode.”
Recap: Hannibal ‘Primavera’
“After the intense aesthetic focus of last weekโs โAntipasto,โ Hannibalโs shift in character focal point for this weekโs โPrimaveraโ brings with it a different thematic center: religion.”
Recap: Hannibal ‘Antipasto’
“Without a definite timeline to hold onto, weโre left to focus on the visual minutiae, and, as always, this might be the most fascinating aspect of Hannibal.”
