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 Season 2 wastes little time strengthening its connections to the original series. While Henry Beauchamp’s unexpected arrival in 1924 initially leaves him isolated and surrounded by people who doubt his account of the past, the closing moments of “Remembrance Day” introduce someone who views his story very differently. Mrs. Graham…
The first season of Outlander: Blood of My Blood ended at precisely the moment Henry and Julia Beauchamp appeared close to escaping eighteenth-century Scotland. Season 2 immediately complicates that hope. Henry successfully passes through Craigh na Dun, but instead of emerging alongside Julia and their infant son William, he finds himself alone in 1924 while…
MobLand begins with Harry Da Souza cleaning up other people’s problems, but by the end of Season 1, even he cannot keep the Harrigans together. What starts as a missing-person problem involving Richie Stevenson’s son Tommy develops into a gang war, an international criminal dispute and, finally, a struggle over who should control the Harrigan…
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 Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story does not limit its speculation to the question of who killed Andrew and Abby Borden. The series also reshapes several relationships inside the Borden household, giving characters private motives and secrets that were never established during the original investigation. One of its more surprising additions involves John Morse, Lizzie…
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.

One familiar face, however, has quietly disappeared from the…
