Thanks so much for joining us! First, can you tell us a little about your new series, Crossfire, on Britbox? Crossfire is a series about three families who are staying in a holiday resort on a Spanish island when gunmen come into the premises and begin to shoot. All the families are separated in different…
Nothing brings people together like a funeral, so special shout-out to Laena Velaryon for giving us the spectacle that was “Driftmark.” With every major player in attendance, we were treated to an episode filled with everything from subtle power dynamics to full-blown attempted murder. Normally we have to wait for weddings for this type of…
Remember last week when I praised House of the Dragon for not holding our hands while it zoomed through the story? Well, I’m afraid we’ve discovered the other side of that coin, as this week’s 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. I want to be clear: this doesn’t have anything to do with the…
“We Light the Way”, the fifth episode of HBO’s House of the Dragon, feels like the end of Part 1. Thus far, we’ve been treated to a relatively small cast, just a few major players, and only a few important families. But that is about to change, and change drastically. First, I’d like to raise…
On the latest episode of House of the Dragon The Bachelorette, we spent the majority of it through the eyes of Rhaenyra. And while she wasn’t loving the initial pack of suitors parading in front of her, she eventually found a couple people worthy of a rose. Daemon got his first crack at Rhaenyra, giving…
Back we go into the mind and psyche of serial killer Joe Goldberg, as he navigates life in suburbia while grappling with what it means to be a father, in both Season 3 of the hit Netflix series as well as the book on which it’s based, Caroline Kepnes’s You Love Me. It is both…
In an unpredictable world, procedurals can be comforting. A cast of characters you know and love. the suspects’ photos on the bulletin board, all the “Where were you on the night of the murder?” inquiries, and the knowledge that caring, capable sleuths will solve the case before long helps us to sleep a little better…
In my review of Lupin’s first season, I opened with the difficulty I had in identifying what the show was exactly. Lupin season two is easier to nail down: It’s a show about a man who wants to get revenge in as stylish and dramatic a way as possible. Putting a bullet into the swine who caused the…
CHAPTER THREE: THE COMING UNDONE OF A GOOD MAN THE TRIGGER: DEMENTIA The human mind is an immensely complicated piece of machinery. Nobody knows how it works and why people do what they do. If I did, I’d write a psychological bestseller, retire, and move to the south of France. I am not a psychologist…
It’s appropriate that the Netflix series Lupin, a show named after a master of disguise, could be described in many different ways, with few of those descriptions being entirely accurate. Lupin has apparently proved more popular even than the previous Netflix phenomenon The Queen’s Gambit, but it’s also harder to sum up. It’s inspired by…
