National Geographic’s “Chilean Mine Rescue: Race Against Time” revisits one of the most closely followed rescue operations of the modern era, but its three episodes are interested in more than the outcome the world already knows. Directed by Chloe Campbell and James Parris, the docuseries combines archive material, previously unseen footage recorded underground and new…
My Sad Dead begins with a private burden and ends by turning it into a neighborhood-wide experience. Ema has spent most of her life seeing and hearing people who have passed, treating the ability less like a supernatural calling than an exhausting condition she has learned to manage. Her niece Julie shares that connection in…
The Final Problem begins like an old-fashioned locked-room puzzle, but by its fourth episode the mystery has become much more personal than Benjamin Basil expects. Jose Coronado’s fading actor, once famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, finds himself stranded at the Hotel Auslander after a storm cuts off the island of Santa Agueda. When English tourist…
Netflix’s Habeas Corpus spends its first season asking whether the justice system can correct an injustice after years have already been taken from someone’s life. Marjorie Estiano leads the Brazilian legal drama as Inez Franco, a respected law professor and former criminal lawyer who creates a wrongful-conviction review group with her students. Their first case…
“Last Seen” Episode 4 is appropriately titled “The Truth,” but it does not reveal that truth through a police test or a neat piece of forensic evidence. Instead, the episode spends most of its running time making Ian Ridley look as though his obsession may have taken him too far, only for Jenna Reid to…
ITV’s The Blame builds its mystery around one uncomfortable question: how well does DI Emma Crane really know the people she works with?

Netflix’s The Scandal spends much of its eight episodes turning romance into a contest of control. Lady Cho believes she can manipulate desire without becoming vulnerable to it, while Cho Won initially approaches Hui-yeon as another challenge in a life shaped by pride and longing. By the finale, however, their wager has created consequences that…
Outlander: Blood of My Blood opens its second season by making good on the uncertainty left behind at Craigh na Dun. “Remembrance Day” does not reunite its central couples or offer an easy escape from the complications of 1715. Instead, Henry and Julia find themselves separated across centuries, while Ellen and Brian discover that their…
The murder trial may decide Lizzie Borden’s legal fate, but Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story does not treat her acquittal as the end of her story. The eighth and final episode, “Carnival,” moves beyond the courtroom to explore what freedom actually looks like for a woman who has escaped conviction but cannot escape the legend…
Netflix’s Not a Stranger spends much of its first season placing viewers inside Funda’s increasingly uncertain perspective. Her memory becomes unreliable, her behavior begins to worry the people around her, and Nazlı, who initially enters the household as someone Funda trusts, becomes indispensable to the family. The finale changes the meaning of much of what…
