Shaun Munro reviews the second episode of Prison Break season 5… After Michael spent 99% of last week’s season premiere in the shadows, he’s thrust at the viewer from the opening moments of episode two as he readies another hilariously convoluted plot to save the day.

Prison Break Season 5 Episode 8 Review – ‘Progeny’
Shaun Munro reviews the eighth episode of Prison Break season 5… Prison Break‘s penultimate episode hit the ground running from minute one, frantically darting all over the place in order to set up the chess-board for next week’s finale.

Does Mark Frost’s new book explain that Twin Peaks ending?
Vulture have got their hands on Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost’s new book, and it appears to shed some light on the suburban scream that bellowed from deep within former corpse Laura Palmer.

Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Fargo season 3… The latter half of Fargo‘s third season hit the ground running this week, building on the previous barn-burner of an episode with perhaps its most shocking and suspenseful instalment yet.

Shaun Munro reviews the fifth episode of Fargo season 3… “The House of Special Purpose” marks the mid-way point of Fargo‘s third season, and in many ways feels like a transitory episode, nodding towards the potential dark ends down the road for many of these characters.

Prison Break Season 5 Episode 6 Review – ‘Phaeacia‘
Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Prison Break season 5… The walls well and truly close in this week as ISIL hunts down Michael and co., and having run out of contingencies, the master tactician is forced to do the one thing he hates; improvise.

Fargo Season 3 Episode 3 Review – ‘The Law of Non-Contradiction’
Shaun Munro reviews the third episode of Fargo season 3… If the first two episodes of Fargo‘s third season leaned a little too eagerly on established formula, “The Law of Non-Contradiction” keenly throws it all out the window. This is easily the most distinctly singular episode from any of its three seasons so far, entirely ditching […]
Prison Break Season 5 Episode 5 Review – ‘Contingency‘
Shaun Munro reviews the fifth episode of Prison Break season 5… With “Contingency”, Prison Break‘s fifth season reaches its half-way point, and mercifully hits the ground running after last week’s shock reveal that Sara’s husband Jacob just might be the shadowy puppet-master Poseidon. Refreshingly, writer Vaun Wilmott doesn’t force the audience through perfunctory scenes where Sara disbelieves T-Bag’s revelation […]
