‘The Potato Lab’ Episode 6 Recap – The Midway Point Makes For An Effective Tease

‘Reacher’ Season 3, Episode 6 Recap – Reacher’s Cover Being Blown Is a Good Thing
In many ways, Episode 6 of Reacher Season 3 is a payoff to the excellent fourth episode. That was where you really felt the menace of Xavier Quinn, the season’s Big Bad who has largely been developed through absence and implication.
‘Adolescence’ Review – Harrowing Proof That Stephen Graham Is the Most Underrated Actor in the World
