Innocent and Guilty Episode 8 of The Innocent Season 1 begins with a race against time, as Lorena phones Zoe and tries to find where Mat and Olivia are.

But, a lot goes into the making of a reality show and that is proof of the fact how the Kardashian family came to be one of the most hated – but still, the most sought-after – family in the world....
A Knight To Forget The Knight Before Christmas feels like a painting by numbers book. It’s fun, enjoyable but ultimately lacking in long-lasting thrills and creativity. With a simple plot we’ve all seen a million times before and a sprinkling of Christmas tropes throughout, The Knight Before Christmas is a heartwarming, throwaway film that embraces its own simplicity but fails to stand out next to the glut of other films in this genre....
The Puppet Master Episode 5 of The Last Kingdom Season 5 begins in Aylesbury with news of the Ealdormen dying spreading across town. Lord Aldhelm decides to leave, as civil war teases on the horizon.

How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall What is Moishe’s condition in hospital? Episode 8 of Marvelous Mrs Maisel Season 4 begins with Miriam and her family rushing to hospital to check on Moishe. Shirley believes that Moishe is going to die, while Miriam takes Joel aside who’s distraught and is blaming himself for what’s happened.

Episode Guide Jet Wash Helvah The Cool Winds Of The South False Wall Red Eye They Knew It All One Last Breath Doomsday Loosely based on true events, Brazilian show The Mechanism is a fast paced, dramatically fictionalised crime thriller. With an interesting, well developed cast of characters at its core and a frantic pace throughout, The Mechanism is a breathless ride through the world of corruption in Brazil. Whilst the inconclusive ending does leave the door wide open for a second season, the indecisive way it ends actually works well given the subject matter....
Episode Guide Angel of Death Treasure Island Magic Mirror SYZYGY The Medium & The Engineer Mirror Mirror Nina Azarova Overview I’ll be the first to admit, I wasn’t 100% sold on the first season of The OA. With numerous questions left unanswered and an incredulous ending many felt was jarring and out of place, The OA’s first season felt anticlimactic and a little disappointing. Following its cliffhanger ending, The OA returns with more questions answered, addressing a lot of the plot points from the first season, while aligning all the pieces a little clearer than before....
In the last episode, it was indicated that perhaps only Gabby would be questioned. Haynes only says this before we cut 72 hours before: “You and your friends are in a lot of trouble”. A hopeful beginning strikes us first. Ben and Rani get the keys to the food shop in Weston and they’re one step closer to living the dream. Christian warns the Dean of a player from New York....
Note To Self: Don’t Misplace ID Card After last week’s action packed, but ultimately forgettable pilot episode, we return to The Passage right where we left off from before. With more history revealed for our core characters, an interesting couple of subplots and some foreshadowing for what’s to come, The Passage’s second episode feels much more driven in delivering a cohesive narrative whilst failing to really push the plot forward all that much....
The Affair Episode 3 of The Penthouse begins with Su-Ryeon confronting her husband over the Anna Lee situation. She calls him immature, prompting anger to course through his veins – so much so that he smashes the cup in his hand. Lee (or Seol-A I guess) staggers home after her horrible ordeal with the kids, sporting cuts and bruises all over body. She holds back tears, bemoaning her luck given all she tried to do was work hard....
Welcome To The World Now out in the open and away from the farm, Promised Neverland Season 2 wastes absolutely no time getting right to the heart of its drama. Heavy breathing, the kids running frantically and hungry, snapping jaws from a four-legged demon is one heck of a hook to re-introduce us to one of 2019’s hottest anime. Led by Emma, the kids wander through the thick woods, marveling at flying fish and gigantic logs toppled over....
A New Kind Of Rain Back for a second season, The Rain picks up where the last season left off, with Simone and the rest of the group in their truck being chased by Apollon soldiers. After several near-misses on the road, they eventually reach a blockade and are stopped by more soldiers. Frederick steps out one of the cars, giving Simone coordinates to a place where Rasmus could be saved, ignoring the soldiers’ warning to back off from the group....
Muddy Shoes Episode 5 of The Road: The Tragedy of One begins with Soo-Hyun calling the police and, specifically, Sim Seok-Hun to the crime scene. There’s blood everywhere and Soo-Hyun tries to piece together what happened by the spatters across the cluttered room. So who did kill Sung-Hwan? Well, that much is still unknown. The police soon arrive at the scene but Seok-Hun has his concerns. This is the second person connected with Soo-Hyun who has passed away and it does look pretty suspect....
Episode Guide Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Part VII Part VIII From the onset, its obvious that there’s something unsettling lurking in the shadows of The Sinner. It starts just like a standard mystery thriller; a short build up leads to young mother Cora Tannetti (Jessica Biel) stabbing a man on a beach for seemingly no reason. With the crime already committed and shown in visceral detail, two key questions drives the show forward – why did she kill him and what drove her to commit this crime?...
You Certainly Won’t Want To Build A Snowman Its hard to know where to start with The Snowman. On paper, the intriguing premise, stacked cast and wonderful soundtrack should be enough to knock this out of the park, especially given the exciting trailer. In reality, The Snowman is a mess and worse, half the scenes in the trailer don’t make it into the film. A lacklustre script complete with questionable, contrived twists and an incredulously bad ending coupled with a general lack of pace of excitement make The Snowman a real slog to sit through....
The Final Push For Season 2 In the aftermath of the meteors hitting the beach, the season 1 finale of The Stranded begins with the kids scrambling back to school where they struggle to find answers to what’s happened. However, when the real Professor Lin is brought into school, the kids panic in the wake of the impostor standing before them until she hurries away outside. Kraam follows her though and after catching up with her, she asks how he survived the tsunami while his adoptive father died....

In order for all of this to go away, they blackmail her for £10,000 and given they hold all the cards, promise to go viral with the material they have and her daughter will never work again if she doesn’t pay up....
