Mystery & Thriller

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is pretty good, and it’s also likely to annoy almost everyone who watches it. At this point, Ubisoft’s edging of long-time franchise fans...

Vicious doesn’t have the kind of ending you can explain. Everyone who watches it will likely take something different from it and have a different...

A friend of mine’s dad once nailed his garden gate shut during Halloween to stop kids knocking on his door, which seemed a bit curmudgeonly...

The ending of The Woman in Cabin 10 has the curious distinction of being both too silly and ridiculous to be believed but also nowhere...

Given what The Woman in Cabin 10 is about and where it’s set, it’s hard not to feel like it misses some open goals. A...

It would have been difficult for The Last Frontier to compete with its premiere in pure action terms, so in Episode 2, "Wind of Change", it doesn't bother.

If nothing else, The Last Frontier is going to be another hit for Apple TV+.

Most of Slow Horses Season 5, Episode 3 takes place in two rooms. One of them is a dingy basement at Regent's Park, where Roddy Ho has been taken for interrogation by Lady Di herself.

We all know a Roddy Ho, and we all went to kill him, so you can understand why the first order of business in Slow Horses Season 5 has been to determine whether Roddy’s attempted assassination is part of some wider scheme.

And of course, it all comes down to a fight. This seems fitting for the ending of Mantis, which is about the battle for leadership...

2023’s Kill Boksoon became one of the most successful South Korean Netflix Original Films ever, somewhat unexpectedly. It was good, an action-packed assassin thriller with...

It only took all season, but I finally learned the technical term for “Species 64”, otherwise known as the “creepy tentacled eyeball octopus”, which is...

Season 5 of Slow Horses is based on Mick Herron's 2018 novel London Rules, so it's arriving seven years late but right on time given the U.K.'s currently combustible political climate.

There has long been a cliché about rich people and buying immortality. Popular tropes involve cryogenic freezing, downloading consciousnesses into AIs, and so on, and...

Some shows get people in the door with a premise alone, and such is the case with Billionaire’s Bunker, another effort from beloved Spanish creative...

In many ways, we’ve all been waiting for the Lost Boys to turn on Boy Kavalier and Prodigy and facilitate some kind of escape, possibly aided by Kirsh for bonus catharsis points.

It has taken a while, but The Terminal List: Dark Wolf really gets going in Episode 6, fittingly titled "Pawns & Kings".

Earlier in this season, I said half-jokingly that the Xenomorphs were the good guys in Alien: Earth, but frankly, I’m starting to believe it more and more.

I've realised what The Terminal List: Dark Wolf reminds me of. It isn't a show, funnily enough, but the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, specifically the reboot from 2019.

You can always tell a Spike Lee joint, even if those very words didn’t reliably pop up in the opening credits every time. There’s always...
