FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST - MINISERIES
Fight Night is at its most compelling when it goes beyond the titular event to explore the conflicts that arise both within the community and individual characters.
THE VIRTUES - SEASON ONE
Haunting, compelling four-part series is very much a showcase for underrated English actor Stephen Graham. Filmed with such a raw, visceral style and nothing less than totally compelling, The Virtues is some of Meadows' best work.
HOUNDS HILL - SEASON ONE
Hound's Hill is a devastating watch that leaves no impression on viewers.
UNSEEN - SEASON ONE
There’s nothing particularly subtle about Unseen, even the scenes where one of her clients, a true crime writer named Lufuno, decides to write a book based on her and call it Unseen.
THE TOURIST - SEASON ONE
Dornan's performance is full of confusion and grows into a sullen resolve to chase down any scrap of a clue about his past. Much like me, trying to retain concentration is this (very) slow-burner.
THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN - SEASON ONE
For a show that was originally meant to be six episodes, and was cut down to four, the most ironic thing is that it feels like we don’t get enough time with the characters. A modestly enjoyable grab-bag of fluid action sequences, Middle Earth memories, and goofy gambits.
CLARK - SEASON ONE
Clark is a lot. It’s a blast and a half, insanely hilarious, and at times a chaotic fever dream of a biopic that always zigs when you expect it to zag.
D.B. COOPER: WHERE ARE YOU? - SEASON ONE
The first installment (there are four) is a hoot. The second begins to tell the story of when true-crime obsessors go too far. As someone that is unfamiliar with D.B. Cooper, I would've liked to know more about the heist, and less about those trying to crack the case.
ANTHRACITE - SEASON ONE
The French Alps setting of Anthracite offers a stunning backdrop and the thriller itself makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
ANOTHER SELF - SEASON ONE
Repetitive and boring.
