Zoe Macon spends decades protecting Rushville, which makes her decision to turn orbital weapons on the town in Lanterns Episode 5 look almost inexplicable. She is not suddenly trying to wipe Rushville off the map for revenge. By that point, Zoe has been exposed, Hal is trying to take her into custody, and Antaan’s people…
John Stewart spends most of his life believing the Green Lantern ring is the destination waiting at the end of everything his parents put him through. Lanterns Episode 5 finally places that future within his reach, only for John to walk away from it. His decision is not about suddenly believing he is unworthy of…
Dead City Season 3 ends without the kind of devastating cliffhanger that would make another season unavoidable, but it certainly does not feel like a series finale either. Maggie and Negan survive another violent struggle for Manhattan, their relationship reaches a dramatically different place, and the closing conversation immediately turns toward what they might build…
Maggie has spent much of Dead City being pulled between two instincts. She knows how to lead people through impossible situations, but years of loss have also taught her that leadership usually comes with a personal cost. Season 3 puts that conflict at the center of her time with Renata’s community, where Maggie gradually moves…
Dead City Season 3 reaches its finale with enough violence to make the final few minutes feel almost strangely peaceful. Dillard’s takeover collapses, Maggie’s community survives, and Negan is no longer standing outside the society everyone else is trying to build. Instead, the episode closes with Maggie and Negan sitting together and discussing what comes…
Dead City has spent three seasons finding increasingly uncomfortable ways to test the relationship between Maggie and Negan, but the Season 3 finale turns one of their oldest arguments into something unexpectedly literal. After Maggie finally admits that Negan has become one of the closest people left in her life, the episode puts a knife…
Ivo spends much of The Perfect Lie looking like one of the quieter casualties of the Dinner Club’s collapsing friendships. His marriage to Hanneke has become painfully distant, Evert’s death unsettles him more than he initially admits, and every new revelation seems to leave him carrying guilt he refuses to explain. The final episode, appropriately…
Saskia Noort’s The Dinner Club already had all the ingredients Netflix needed for a glossy psychological thriller: affluent couples, extramarital affairs, financial secrets, a suspicious fire and a friendship group held together by appearances. The Perfect Lie keeps that skeleton, but the seven-part adaptation is far less interested in reproducing the novel scene for scene.…
High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam has the machinery of a military thriller, but its most important scenes are built around people talking, arguing and trying to understand what the intelligence in front of them actually means. Inspired by former CIA analyst John Nixon’s memoir “Debriefing the President,” TNT’s eight-episode limited series begins during…
Joel Kinnaman’s John Nixon enters “High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam” as the sort of intelligence officer who knows far more about Saddam Hussein than his position in Washington allows him to use. The early episodes push him out of that analytical world and into Iraq, setting up the encounter that would ultimately define…
Among the people John Nixon encounters after arriving in Iraq, Captain Samir quickly becomes more than the man assigned to translate his conversations. Played by Dar Salim, Samir understands the country, the danger of moving through Baghdad and the human consequences of Saddam Hussein’s rule in ways Nixon simply cannot from an intelligence report. Their…
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas did not meet for the first time when they were paired on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 35. The two already knew each other well after competing together on “The Traitors” Season 4, where they developed a friendship that viewers barely got to see on television. Higgins later revealed that…
