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.

THE GATHERING - SEASON ONE

The plotting is wayward and the denouement feels forced. What’s impressive is the socio-emotional interplay between the young cast, the sense of real, raw lives being lived.

RESIDENT EVIL: INFINITE DARKNESS - SEASON ONE

This seems like a project solely for committed fans, the kind of people who would most want to see a connection to those previous stories and the latest one. Infinite Darkness is doing its own thing. Unfortunately, that thing isn't terribly compelling

THE WALKING DEAD: WEBISODES - SEASON ONE

Nothing new is being offered. It doesn’t really go anywhere. Heroes struggle and villains triumph and then fall, but none of it seems to mean much.

GRAND ARMY - SEASON ONE

There are many series and made-for-streaming movies about teenage life on Netflix. But none as ambitious, sobering, and bold as Grand Army. It lets several of its cast members shine through complex characters and culturally specific plotlines
