Ending a series isn’t an easy thing to do, and ending a series like Stranger Things is almost impossible. Originally conceived as a one-off, the...

Thanks to a relatively revelatory penultimate episode, Harlan Coben’s Run Away doesn’t have a great deal to do in its finale. Episode 8, “It Stays...

The penultimate episode of Harlan Coben’s Run Away is… about what you’d expect, really. A lot is revealed, albeit not everything, a bunch of people die, and the stakes are set for a clarifying finale that will – hopefully! – give us the answers we seek about everything.

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...

It takes an effort to remember this now, but Ricky Gervais used to be a very good comedian. For a while, he was probably my...

I’ve realised against my better – and indeed professional – judgement that I’ll forgive Stranger Things for just about anything, so long as the core...

This is it. The last big brainstorming session before the bumper finale. The last chance for every character to get a few things off their...

Let me be the one to say it. Given how long it has taken to bring Stranger Things Season 5 to life, and how much money has been spent on the endeavour, there is absolutely zero justification for Episode 6 looking as bad as it does.

The first volume of Stranger Things Season 5 ended in such a big, satisfying, and social media-savvy way that it was basically impossible that Episode 5, the premiere of Volume 2, was going to live up to it.

Pro Bono is getting a little better episode by episode. You can wonder if that’ll end up being enough – and, given the general predictability of the structure and the lack of a real stand-out original “wow” factor, it probably won’t be – but it’ll do in the meantime.

I spent most of my time with Elway, Netflix’s definitive profile of Hall of Fame NFL quarterback John Elway, waiting for bad news. As an...
