A lot of Brilliant Minds Season 2 has been about the future. The teases of Wolf’s eventual incarceration in Hudson Oaks, no doubt thanks to...

Brilliant Minds is typically quite elegantly plotted, and has been throughout most of Season 2. But I think it’s fair to say that in Episode...

There are only two episodes of Pro Bono left, which seems to have come out of nowhere. It’s part of the procedural format, I guess. The case-of-the-week structure keeps you distracted while the overarching story sneaks up on you. You can feel that quite strongly in Episodes 9 & 10.

One of the most interesting questions about the law in general is who it is supposed to serve. Is it a tool of equality, to be applied equally to all? Does it have a responsibility to protect the most downtrodden and easily exploitable?

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...

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.

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...

War is rarely funny, which is probably why Fallout has always worked as a satire. The horrors of nuclear Armageddon, endless conflict, and the demented factions who perpetuate it – this isn’t laugh-a-minute stuff. In the two episodes of Season 2 we’ve seen already, a lot of really grim stuff has happened, the kind of stuff that changes people, makes them realise who they are (or who they aren’t).

If Landman was trying to give me advice about relationships, I wouldn't take it. None of the ones in this show seem to work out.

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.
