Lawyers are like buses, apparently -- you wait ages for one to turn up, and then two come along at once. This is the predicament that Paula finds herself in here in Episode 8 of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, which is just the latest in a long string of predicaments that include being arrested for a double-murder and locked up on Rikers Island.

Giant battles full of dragons and destruction are all well and good, but the heart of a story like House of the Dragon lives in the aftermath. It beats to the rhythm of bodies washing up against the rocks of a shoreline and hides in the wreckage of naval fleets razed to matchsticks.

You know exactly where Agent Kim Reactivated is going in Episode 1 and 2, but this isn’t a criticism. It’s one of those stories – think John Wick or Nobody – that hinges on the catharsis of a seemingly ordinary, run-of-the-mill guy secretly being an all-action killing machine, so the premiere is about fostering that vibe.

John Sugar is an immigrant, a literal alien, which is probably worth keeping in the back of your mind when watching Season 2 of Sugar. Not that the show is going to let you forget it, at least not based on Episode 2, “Downer Town”, which is very much backdropped by the idea of people making their way in strange places that are often hostile to them, and feeling, privately, that they’re completely on their own in doing so.
