The BBC America marketing department knew what they were doing when they tacked a sneak preview of Killing Eve onto an Orphan Black retrospective highlight show a couple of weeks ago. My DVR, set to record anything related to Orphan Black, recorded this. Boy, am I glad. Killing Eve seems poised to fill the empty…
It’s finally here: the finale. I had high hopes for everything being tied up in a neat little bow—and not just because it’s December. As I began to watch, however, I realized that most of it had already been explained and there were only a few small loose ends left—and many of those were easy…
We’re almost to the finish line, and things are wrapping up nicely—but there are still some unanswered questions for the finale to fill in. This week’s review contains a lot of spoilers, but they’re impossible to avoid. So make sure to catch up before reading this … you’ve been warned. When we left off…
The episode starts off with a flashback. We are in the laboratory of Zachariah Webb, and he is testing his electrical device—the one everyone in the present day is after. It’s what Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett) is calling the “Unlimited Energy Device.” Webb attaches it to a cage with a bird inside and fires it…
We know that everything is connected—and in this episode, we really start to see it. Nothing is really made clear, though, so let’s not get too excited. But things do start to link back, so that’s a start. Rimmer (Aaron Douglas) has just killed the groupie/girlfriend of Lux Dujour. Since he’s left Dujour’s body and…
I was prepared this week; I sat down to watch Episode 4 of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency with a caffeinated drink and absolutely no distractions. I knew I’d have to have my wits about me and be wide awake to follow along—I mean think about it, the episode is called “Watkin,” and it’s anyone’s…
I remember a time when TV shows were all standalone episodes. Each one was an independent story that revolved around a new topic. When, by chance, there was a two-part episode, the second would start off with “previously on….” Now that shows are more like soap-opera continuations of a longer story arc, that little intro…
We learned in Episode 1 that everything is connected: Todd (Elijah Wood) getting fired from a hotel job because his keycard was used to enter the room where they found a murdered billionaire; Todd meeting Dirk Gently Holistic Detective (Samuel Barnett); Todd finding a winning lottery ticket; a women in the room above Todd’s getting…
In a word: Wow. Don’t talk, don’t blink, and don’t get up to get a drink of water. If you miss even one second of the first episode of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, you will be completely lost. Ok, so I feel that I must be honest—even if you see every single second of…
Sure, we teased it last July, but here's the full trailer for the upcoming 4-part dramatic miniseries to air next month, beginning January 29th. According to BBC America: The new original four-part drama stars Dominic Cooper as Ian Fleming, a charming and sophisticated maverick, whose pleasure-seeking life was turned around by WWII and led to…
