Lioness Season 3 Episode 4 finally catches the story up to the terrifying flash-forward that has haunted the season from the beginning. Joe McNamara is now fully in Russian custody, her team misses rescuing her by only minutes, and the private jet carrying her disappears before U.S. forces can intercept it. At the same time,…
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” Season 3 Episode 5, “Imperialis,” spends most of its runtime showing Maggie, Negan and Renata proving that their struggling Manhattan community might actually work, only to end by exposing the disagreement that could tear it apart.

“The Westies” Season 1 finale finally turns the quiet war between Jimmy Roarke and Eamon Sweeney into an open fight for Hell’s Kitchen. Episode 8, “The Irish Goodbye,” begins with Jimmy furious over Sean Flynn’s death and ends with him sitting in the chair once occupied by the man who practically raised him. The important…
The final minutes of The Audacity are unusually brutal for a series that spends so much of its first season laughing at Silicon Valley arrogance. Tom Ruffage dies after being crushed by the consequences of Carl Bardolph’s military deal, Duncan learns that Jamison is not his biological daughter, and JoAnne receives a call from the…
Chompoo: Lost & Forgotten does not end with Netflix uncovering a surprise killer. The courts had already taken the case much further than the documentary’s title initially suggests: Chaiphol “Uncle Phol” Wipha was convicted by Thailand’s Court of Appeal in 2025 of intentional murder, child abduction and an offense involving interference with the body or…
Netflix’s Facing El Chapo does not need a fictional twist to make its ending tense.

They can. Carmona and…
Project Runway Season 22 Episode 7 builds toward a result that viewers never actually get to see.

Jason Statham’s Mutiny starts with a familiar action-thriller setup but gradually turns into something much bigger than Cole Reed clearing his name. Cole is a former police officer who now handles security for billionaire shipping magnate Tibu Campallo, a man who has become closer to him than an ordinary employer. When Tibu is murdered and…
“Blood Sacrifice” spends four episodes asking who is murdering Swedish police officers, but its finale is ultimately more interested in why the killer believes the police created him. Peter Johansson (Magnus Krepper) is revealed as the 112 killer, and his campaign traces back to the night his partner Hugo Brankovic died while Peter desperately waited…
Outer Banks saves its final reckoning with Chandler Groff for a hurricane, which is fitting for a series that has always made boats and storms almost as dangerous as its villains. Groff is thrown overboard after his last confrontation with Kiara, and although the finale never gives him an explicit death confirmation, the ending strongly…
