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…
Artillery enters ‘The Drop: A Snowfall Saga’ with enough familiar details to make him feel like somebody viewers should recognize. He is an emerging Los Angeles rapper in 1990, his music openly confronts police violence, and the attention surrounding his songs makes him dangerous to people with power. Yet Artillery does not appear to be…
Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities gets a new television adaptation with Kit Harington at the center of a story about romance, sacrifice and revolution. The four-part MGM+ series begins in London in 1782, where Lucie Manette learns that the father she believed was dead may actually be alive in Paris. Her search brings…
My Life with the Walter Boys returns for Season 3 with Jackie Howard facing a problem that refuses to become simpler: two Walter brothers love her, she has feelings for both, and the family around them is dealing with a crisis much larger than teenage romance. The new season, released on Netflix on August 6,…
“Fire Country” has never been particularly interested in dividing its characters into good people and bad people. Much of the series revolves around second chances, complicated family relationships and the difficulty of escaping a troubled past. Season 5 brings those themes back into focus with the arrival of Angel, a new inmate firefighter at Three…
“Marshals” has always carried “Yellowstone” history through Kayce Dutton, Thomas Rainwater, Mo and the landscape surrounding Broken Rock, but Season 2 is bringing another familiar cowboy directly into Kayce’s new life. Jefferson White is returning as Jimmy Hurdstrom, one of the original series’ most recognizable supporting characters. CBS has confirmed that White will appear in…
Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 introduces Grace without giving her the kind of grand entrance normally reserved for an important new character. She appears at Castle Leoch as a young woman working for Jocasta Cameron, but Episode 2, “The Veil of Time,” quickly gives her two unusually warm scenes with Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser.…
Best Medicine returns for Season 2 with several of its characters considering lives beyond Port Wenn, but one of the premiere’s biggest decisions comes from Elaine Denton. Martin’s endlessly energetic assistant has always talked and behaved like someone whose ambitions are larger than the small Maine town around her, and Episode 1 finally gives her…
Karen Wheeler is never one of the people Mike wants involved when something strange begins happening in Hawkins. That makes her relatively easy for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 to keep outside its supernatural adventures, but the character was still present when the animated series began. Alysia Reiner voiced Karen in Season 1, and she…
Steve Harrington was one of the more recognizable supporting characters brought into Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 when the animated series began. His friendship with Dustin already existed by this point in the Stranger Things timeline, giving the show an easy way to bring Hawkins’ resident babysitter into the younger group’s adventures without forcing him…
Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2 brings back most of the Hawkins characters who surrounded the H.I.C. during its first adventure. Hopper, Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler all remain part of the animated world as Eleven, Mike, Will and their friends investigate another supernatural threat. One familiar face, however, has quietly disappeared from the…
Frances Neagley’s discomfort with physical contact has been part of her character since Reacher, but Neagley Season 1 finally reveals where it comes from. Neagley has haphephobia, an intense aversion to being touched, and the spinoff links it to a childhood trauma she had suppressed for most of her life. As a young girl, Neagley…
