Mystery & Thriller

It takes a fair amount of time and a lot of concentration to get to the climax of Hound’s Hill, so most viewers will enter...

Hound’s Hill is the kind of bleak small-town mystery that dumps you in the middle of a world and lets you acclimate on your own...

The ending of any good heist/treasure-hunting show isn’t as much of a will-they-won’t-they as it seems. Nobody ever gets the loot, really. It’s either cursed...

It’s really no surprise that Bandidos was popular, despite it not being very good. It had the format of a heist thriller and the aesthetics...

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.

It’s only fitting, I suppose, that the ending of The Rig Season 2 highlights the most explicit battle yet between Mother Nature and greedy energy...

I can’t decide if The Rig sorely needed Season 2 or would have been better off without it. Sure, it ended on a cliffhanger, but...

To be clear, I was highly skeptical about the ending of Missing You. I just felt there was no logical way that so many interconnected...

Missing You shows some of its strengths in Episode 4, which is appropriately titled “Don’t You Forget About Me” after the Simple Minds hit. It’s...

It’s ironic that Episode 3 of Missing You is titled “Never Too Much” – after the Luther Vandross song – since there’s a compelling argument...

All good mysteries need a bad guy, a killer, a weirdo, someone to imperil the leads and create conflict. Episode 2 of Missing You, titled...

The first episode of Missing You is all about introducing various plot threads that seem entirely disconnected but will turn out not to be in...

It’s becoming something of a tradition to bring in the new year with a deeply silly series from Harlan Coben, whose partnership with Netflix continues...

“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...
