Mystery & Thriller

“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.

Bad Sisters didn’t need Season 2, so the least it could do was end with a bit of finality so that nobody would be tempted...

The Agency is a strange show, it has to be said. It was wildly off-putting initially, really improved when it cohered a bit, and here...

Surprising absolutely nobody, the ending of Before is nonsense. We were expecting this, obviously, but Episode 10 is oddly impressive in its self-satisfaction. It’d be one thing...

We've spent the entirety of Bad Sisters Season 2 wondering what Ian was really up to, and Episode 7, "How to Pick a Prick", gives us all the juicy details.

The best part of 1992 is undoubtedly the villain, which coincidentally is the part it focuses on the least. But it counts for something. There...

I’ve been thinking about The Agency a lot, partly to try and figure out why I think it’s so dull, and what’s meaningfully different about...

Before is, in a word, stupid. This won’t come as news to anyone at this point, but it’s especially ironic since it thinks it’s so...

Ian helps the sisters cover their tracks, bringing him closer to Eva but further into Houlihan's spotlight.

I’m still not convinced by The Agency. In Season 1, Episode 3, “Hawk From A Handsaw”, it gets so gratingly serious and so obvious and...

Black Doves, Netflix’s British action-thriller series from Giri/Haji’s Joe Barton, is technically a Christmas show. The holiday has nothing to do with the plot, which...

“Boom” is about Eva in the same way that “Person of Interest” was about Becka. This is to say that Eva’s problems are foregrounded a...

I love a spy drama, and there’s room for all kinds of different ones. But The Agency debuts in a post-Slow Horses streaming climate where...

You can tell that The Madness would like to be described as “timely”, “biting”, or any number of other adjectives one would typically throw at...

It took a couple too many bloated episodes to get here, but the ending of Gangnam B-Side is… okay, I guess, very much like the...

Episode 7 of Before, “The Power of Belief”, revolves around another unconventional therapy technique that Eli attempts on Noah, and it’s weird that we’re supposed...

It hasn’t exactly been a smooth start for the second season of Bad Sisters, The two-part Season 2 premiere took a while getting out of the...

Can impersonating a kidnapper save a sham marriage? I guess this is the question being floated by When the Phone Rings Episode 2, which picks...
