TV recaps

Show episode summaries

TV recaps are summaries of television episodes, typically published online shortly after an episode airs.

They retell the plot, often with commentary, analysis, or humor.

Recaps serve viewers who missed an episode, want to refresh their memory, or enjoy dissecting shows with fellow fans: I read the recap before watching the finale.
