And here I was thinking that the ending of MobLand was going to be a showpiece for Harry Da Souza, the moment when he played...

The games are very much afoot in MobLand, and it’s beginning to seem like Harry holds many more cards than he has let on.

Well, MobLand is getting rather complicated now, isn’t it? I thought that last week’s international introductions were enough to be going on with, but Episode 8 has other ideas.

Until now, MobLand has been a tale of two families who each possess a relatively even share of London’s criminal underworld, but Episode 7, “The Crossroads”, introduces much bigger fish to that relatively tiny pond.

After MobLand revealed that we’d been following the bad guys all along, Episode 6 completely doubles down on the idea, as well as taking the Harrigans’ nonsense international (hence the title, “Antwerp Blues”).

A cliffhanger ending really doesn’t suit Happy Face, and I spent most of Episode 8, “The Star”, believing that it wasn’t going to get one....

As someone who has been reiterating that Poppa and Ivy’s relationship is central to Poppa’s House for the last few months, I should theoretically like Episode 18,...

Who'd have thought it? A half-hour of Poppa's House that I genuinely enjoyed! And it only took 17 episodes for us to get here.

The fifth episode of MobLand is built around a single sustained run of tension that plays like a breath held long enough to sting the lungs.

Happy Face raises some interesting new questions towards the end of Episode 7, but I prefer it when it’s languishing.

Harry Da Souza has given his life for the Harrigan family in one way or another, and that’s going to become a literal statement sooner rather than later.

The previous episode of Happy Face was very good because it pulled the rug at the very end and allowed corruption another victory. Episode 6 is even better because it makes that victory short-lived.

And here we all were thinking that the serial killer was the villain of Happy Face. No such luck.

Taking a page out of Black Mirror's playbook, Poppa's House tries to tackle a relevant subject in Episode 16. And like recent Black Mirror, it's misguided rubbish.

MobLand clearly isn’t interested in hanging about, is it? If you thought the brewing gang war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons was something that might take, I dunno, half a season or so to get going, Episode 3 disabuses you of that notion by opening with Kevin’s house blowing up.

The point of an ending is, ostensibly, to provide answers and dramatic payoff, which is a concept that for some reason Yellowjackets has never quite...

Episode 2 of MobLand is titled “Jigsaw Puzzle”, which is fitting for two reasons.

I can’t have been the only person who thought that the finale of 1923 Season 2 couldn’t possibly be a proper ending. Surely not!
