‘MobLand’ Episode 7 Recap – Tom Hardy’s One-Man-Army Heroics Expand the Show’s Mythology

May 11 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

‘MobLand’ Episode 6 Recap – The Harrigans Are Historically and Now Internationally Awful

May 5 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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”).

‘Happy Face’ Ending Explained – A Satisfying Finale Can’t Resist A Last-Minute Tease

May 1 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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....

‘Poppa’s House’ Ending Explained – A Predictable Cliffhanger Keeps Poppa and Ivy Apart

April 29 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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,...

‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 17 Recap – If You Squint A Little, There’s Almost Some Sincerity In This

April 29 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

‘MobLand’ Episode 5 Recap – A Masterclass In Tension Builds To A Surprising Conclusion

April 27 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

April 24 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

‘Happy Face’ Episode 6 Recap – Justice Brings Catharsis, But We’re Far From the End

April 17 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

‘Poppa’s House’ Episode 16 Recap – As Bad As This Show Has Ever Been

April 15 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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’ Episode 3 Recap – The House Of Cards Is Very Close To Collapsing

April 13 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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.

‘1923’ Season 2 Ending Explained – A Rushed Bumper-Length Finale Still Sticks the Landing

April 7 2025, by Jonathon Wilson

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!
