When the Phone Rings is clearly the kind of show that delights in keeping its audience guessing (and close to a health event).

It’s about time that Martian’s secrets and lies caught up to him, and Episode 7 of The Agency feels like the point of no return for him.

Episode 8, “The Book of Quinn”, does manage to progress the overarching story with surprisingly even-handed consideration for everyone, especially the many residents of Silo 18.

Episode 8 of Landman, “Clumsy, This Life”, is one of those outings in which very little of note happens but the show mysteriously doesn’t suffer as a result.

Things are heating up in When the Phone Rings, aren’t they? And once again it seems to be Hee-joo in the firing line more than anyone, right after ending the previous episode in quite the predicament.

You can feel When the Phone Rings approaching the end in Episode 9. We’ve reached the point where certain key questions start being answered while some mysteries linger unsolved.

“Spy For Sale” feels like The Agency operating at its peak. It hasn’t been a smooth ride to get to this point, and Episode 6 isn’t perfect either.
