Mystery & Thriller

I get that now isn’t exactly the time for a jingoistic war movie about America’s best and bravest tussling with some problematic foreign power, so...

Finally, a serial killer I can get behind! After all, who among us hasn’t considered pushing an influencer into traffic? The Hunting Party Season 2 hasn’t made much of an effort to be “current”, but you simply can’t have a procedural these days without an influencer case, and Episode 6, “Lou Kaplan”, is that.

As seems fitting for a show in this universe, Young Sherlock has quite the mystery to unpack. As if conspiracies winding all the way through...

Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies had their detractors, but there was something about his zinging, slightly smug filmmaking style that suited the character, and it’s...

Assassins are usually a death sentence for other people, but Memory of a Killer takes the bold step in Episode 6 of confirming what we...

Watson has always had a fairly detectable medical-mystery pattern, so it was perfectly fair to imagine that Season 2’s mid-season premiere would really embrace that...

There's a peculiar feeling you get when you know something awful is going to happen, but can't quite put a finger on it. There's probably some complex evolutionary explanation, a biological early-warning system that can detect dread in the atmosphere. Among its many other achievements, Paradise has managed to weaponise this feeling.

The Hunting Party Season 2 is back after a little hiatus, and it’s back guest-starring Kelsey Grammer, which has to count for something. After all, who...

It’s fair to say that Memory of a Killer hasn’t been in a rush to get anywhere, but that changes in Episode 5. “Betrayal” shouldn’t...

‘The first season of Paradise was one of 2025’s best shows, mostly without any warning. Its premiere revealed a gotcha premise that was kept well...

Rounding out the triumvirate of Paradise Season 2 premiere episodes, “Another Day in Paradise” is the most like what we’ve come to expect from the show after the first season.

As brilliant as the premiere of Paradise Season 2 was, it’s pretty fair to say that it didn’t really pick up on any of the plot threads left dangling by the first season finale.

If you remember anything about the first season of Paradise, what springs to mind is probably the brilliant fake-out premiere that revealed what seemed like a fairly standard murder-mystery to really be a post-apocalyptic political thriller of an extremely distinguished vintage.

Given that The Night Agent is one of Netflix’s most popular shows, I must confess to being a little surprised that Season 3’s ending is...

The Night Agent hasn’t skimped on fun action sequences in Season 3, but Episode 9, “Lockstep”, has the best one yet.

Oh, blimey. All sorts is going on in Episode 8 of The Night Agent Season 3. We’re close to the end now, obviously, and that has given “Truth Be Told” carte blanche to push its various storylines to more dramatic junctures.

The Night Agent Season 3 hasn't been shy about using flashbacks. But Episode 7, fittingly titled "Once Upon a Time...", takes the idea a bit further. Instead of just sticking one at the start, half of the runtime is devoted to scenes stretching as far back as February 1995, which are intended to add some important context to Jacob's past and his relationship with Isabel.

As we enter the back half of The Night Agent Season 3, Episode 6 feels like a clear turning point, the kind of episode that delivers some pretty key revelations that recontextualise everything we've seen thus far.

There have been some turns already in The Night Agent Season 3, but the biggest one yet is to be found in Episode 5, “The Isolation Play”....

Things are heating up in The Night Agent Season 3, even though Episode 4 has the coldest setting yet. A swanky hunting lodge in the wintry forests...
