There is no more damning indictment of the state of contemporary media than The Night Manager being back on our screens a decade after contentedly...

The Night Manager has never been a particularly vibes-heavy show, unless, of course, the vibes you’re looking for are rather grounded and intense ones. But...

Mental health seems to be a growing concern in the espionage business. The Agency was almost entirely about the psychological toll of being a spy,...

Nothing about Landman should work. I’ve said this already, in my coverage of the first outing and indeed Season 2, but it’s worth reiterating since this is such a...

The good news is that Red Eye Season 2, despite being a step down from the first outing overall, has a better, slightly less ridiculous...

It might take an effort to remember now, since it passed by without much fuss, but the first season of Red Eye, which aired on...

For such an unrelentingly bleak show, the ending of Land of Sin is probably a bit happier than anyone was really expecting. While it’s impressively...

Nordic noir is one of the few genres of television that really prizes cliché. You almost don’t want a Scandinavian crime thriller to try anything...

After a pretty action-packed outing that finally saw Spartacus: House of Ashur return to proper gladiatorial combat, Episode 6 might feel a bit restrained in comparison.

Netflix’s unconventional Argentine crime caper Time Flies has a better ending than most Netflix shows. This doesn’t make a lacking show much better, but it...

Okay, Run Away, you got me. Harlan Coben shows typically have a moment like the one in Episode 6, the major plot development you think they won’t possibly commit to.

The previous episode of Harlan Coben’s Run Away revealed that Dee Dee was connected to a religious cult called the Beacon of the Shining Truth, and this makes figuring the plot out a lot easier.

Episode 4 marks the midway point of Harlan Coben’s Run Away, and you can tell. Things were getting complicated already, but “A Different Time” just throws in a bunch more subplots and possibilities for good measure.

Episode 3 marks the point where Harlan Coben’s Run Away starts to go a bit nuts. I mean, don’t get me wrong, these shows are...

After the premiere of Harlan Coben’s Run Away introduced a bunch of seemingly unrelated characters and subplots, it’s only right that Episode 2, “Tattoos While U Wait”,...

You know the deal by now. Episode 1 of any Harlan Coben show is always more or less the same: a string of seemingly unconnected...
