The Gentlemen expands well beyond Halstead Manor in Season 2, and the change is visible almost immediately. Guy Ritchie’s Netflix crime series was filmed mainly across England and northern Italy, combining aristocratic estates, an airfield, a cathedral, historic mansions and the shores of Lake Maggiore. Badminton House in Gloucestershire returns as Eddie Horniman’s fictional family…
Russ Holliday and Ricky Hudson do not officially become a couple by the end of Chad Powers Season 2, but the season takes their relationship much further than a simple friendship. Instead of giving them an easy romantic payoff, the final episodes concentrate on something Russ arguably needs more: Ricky accepting that Chad Powers and…
Chad Powers Season 2 spends most of its six episodes tightening the trap around Russ Holliday. Keeping the Chad Powers identity alive was already difficult when only Danny knew the truth, but by the finale, too many people have noticed inconsistencies and Gerry has finally figured out enough to become genuinely dangerous. What begins as…
Episode 8 finally answers one of The Shards’ oldest Robert Mallory mysteries. Bret was correct when he insisted that he had seen Robert at a screening of The Shining in May 1980. Robert lied because he was not at the theater alone. He was there with Katherine Latchford, the girl who would become the Trawler’s…
The Shards Episode 8, Hamlet, brings Bret closer than ever to proving his theory about Robert Mallory, only to end with Bret becoming physically intimate with the same person he believes could be the Trawler. The episode strongly suggests that Bret and Robert spend the night together, but it deliberately stops short of making every…
The old streets, grand churches and seemingly untouched houses in Netflix’s Lovesick are not the product of one enormous studio backlot. The Mexican period drama, released under its original title Mal de amores in Spanish-speaking markets, was filmed extensively across Puebla and San Luis Potosí, with additional work in Mexico City and several smaller communities…
The last episode of Lovesick appears to force Emilia Sauri into the decision she has spent much of her life avoiding: Daniel Cuenca or Antonio Zavalza. Yet the answer is deliberately more complicated than simply naming a winner. In the main timeline, Emilia chooses the stable life she can build with Zavalza rather than continuing…
Netflix’s Lovesick places Emilia Sauri in such a carefully recreated version of revolutionary-era Mexico that it is easy to assume she was a forgotten pioneering doctor. Emilia Sauri, however, was not a real person, and Lovesick is not based on her biography. She is the fictional protagonist of Ángeles Mastretta’s novel Mal de amores, which…
Reacher Season 4 Episode 6 leaves Jack Reacher in a position we rarely see him in: on his knees, surrounded, and seemingly out of options. After spending most of the season running through assassins, government operatives and corrupt officials, Reacher finally meets a group capable of overpowering him through sheer numbers. The ending of Plum…
Detective Shaun Docherty has spent much of Reacher Season 4 hovering between indifference and outright suspicion. Episode 6 finally pushes that ambiguity into dangerous territory when he takes custody of Jacob Merrick and then does something Jacob immediately recognizes as wrong: he doesn’t take him where a normal arrest should end. The episode strongly suggests…
Russell Plum gets one of Reacher Season 4 Episode 6’s biggest scares when he walks into the middle of the confrontation involving Reacher, Tamara, Jacob, Lila and Amisha. Seconds later, gunfire erupts and Plum is hit in the chest. The title Plum Out of Luck certainly makes his situation look ominous, but Plum does not…
Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 5 ends with AFC Richmond losing 3-2 to Chelsea, Alice Chilton being suspended, and both Keeley and Rebecca nursing broken hearts. On paper, almost everyone has failed at something. Richmond loses the biggest match of its season so far, Keeley cannot fill the stadium despite selling the tickets, Alice loses…
