Powerless Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Emily Dates a Henchman’
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the fourth episode of Powerless season 1… “Emily Dates a Henchman” was Powerless’ best episode yet but is cursed to be a backhanded success. For all its technical improvement, Powerless is still unsatisfying. Writing’s one of the first departments to blame when a show isn’t delivering, but already last week the premise […]
Legion Season 1 Episode 3 Review – ‘Chapter 3’
