‘The Institute’ Gets A Little More Sinister (And Weird) In Episode 2
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that in Episode 2, “Shot for Dots”, The Institute still has a lot of the same problems it showcased in the premiere.
‘The Institute’ Is Too Obscure For Its Own Good In Episode 1
I get the sense we’ll have to cut The Institute a bit of slack. There’s a compelling core story here, and Episode 1 hints at it repeatedly.

It’s a great surprise that Leviathan ends as conclusively as it does. For one thing, it’s a Netflix series, and those are notorious for never...

To give credit where it’s due, I didn’t expect The Buccaneers to rocket through Season 2’s overarching plot the way it does in Episode 4.

I knew this already, but Stick is a nice reminder that nobody plays smug better than Timothy Olyphant.
‘Smoke’ Focuses On Michelle In Episode 3, Leaving Proper Examination Of Its Best Twist For Later
