Before Sam goes in for her interview, Olivia texts her words of encouragement. Stephanie thinks Olivia treats her sponsees too much like a job and wishes she would focus more on picking out a sperm donor with her. In New York, Nathaniel invites Sam up to his office at Smug Media. He tells her that her sample piece was “brilliant,” if a little too smart for the company. He thinks she would be a great fit for the job which, as he puts it, would be covering local cultural events....

Chapter 8: Reincarnation We begin episode 8 of Tale of the Nine Tailed in the past with A-Eum and Yeon spending time together. As she heads up to the palace alone, she finds the King weakened while sitting on his throne. As scales suddenly show up on his body, the King’s demeanor changes and he chuckles cruelly. It appears that the Imoogi is inside the King and A-Eum was apparently served up to be his sacrifice....

Episode Guide Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Tear Along The Dotted Line is an amusing, cleverly written look at the world through the eyes of a man struggling with social anxiety, depression and finding his own place in life. Based on Italy’s best-selling graphic novels by Zerocalcare (which literally translates to zero limescale!), the six episodes are short, punchy and amusingly on-point. Each chapter works as a stand-alone segment, amusingly serving as a commentary on certain aspects of life....

I Don’t Know You Episode 4 of Tell Me Your Secrets begins in the past as Pete arrives at the prison to meet Karen while she’s incarcerated. She’s been there barely two weeks and Pete admits that her choices going forward are very limited. He reminds her that loving a bad person doesn’t make her a bad person, as he reveals that his job is to determine if she’s right for his program....

Wasted Potential Full Of Cliched Horror Tropes When it comes to Eastern horror films, the quality is usually very, very good or very, very bad. Unfortunately, The 3rd Eye falls into the latter. With a lacklustre script, some questionable acting and some under-developed ideas, The 3rd Eye is an underwhelming horror at best, one that has a promising concept at its core but fails to live up to its promise with a shoestring budget and an over-reliance on the usual horror tropes you’d expect....

Last Exit to Brooklyn The Alienist: Angel Of Darkness has had quite the run these past 4 weeks. In a way, this second season has matched the first blow for blow and it’s a shame we haven’t had longer to digest this crime drama. While it still works as a double-bill binge-fest, it’s also a little disappointing we haven’t had longer with these characters. Having said that though, this penultimate chapter sets things up nicely for a tense and nail-biting finish as a big cliffhanger leaves the future for our characters looking bleak....

The Truth About Stacey Episode 3 of Baby-Sitter’s Club shifts the focus once more to Stacey. As the new girl in the group, she’s desperate to prove herself but for now The Baby-Sitters Club are facing their biggest challenge yet. A promotional video for a new group called The Baby-Sitter’s Agency, fronted by charismatic girl Lacy, puts a pretty big dent in their plan of baby-sitting dominance. Determined to differentiate themselves from the competition, Kristy and the others decide to fill boxes with different items and toys to make the kids excited to see them....

The network want him to stop shooting but Nick is adamant that they can continue filming, chalking it up to added drama.

One of the best things about Peacock’s new detective series is its central character, Detective Avraham. Like most of his cinematic counterparts, he is a devoted professional with pressing unresolved issues. Avi’s father was murdered when he was still a child, leaving him little room to enjoy childhood. But what separates him from the rest of the pack is his metaphorical visions that somehow guide his hand through investigation. “The Calling” refers to Avi’s life mission to solve cases and help people....

Captivating Drama The Capture is a drama I wish had the same prolific appeal as The Bodyguard. While the latter captured imaginations with its pulsating opening few episodes, the drama itself quickly fizzled out during its second half, ending with a disappointing climax that undermined the good work done early on. The Capture on the other hand has been anything but a disappointment. As more layers are added to its intricate conspiratorial web, BBC’s new espionage thriller has been one of the bigger surprises this year, delivering a consistent string of thrills and shocking reveals....

(Be sure to click ‘cc’ for subs on the trailer) Wang Ling Kills Giant Frog 3 Times The first episode of The Daily Life of the Immortal King (Netflix) zips us into the future – the year 4386 on the Cultivation Calendar. With airplanes shaped like flying swords and a sarcastic narrator to pave our way, we discover that society ‘enjoys the convenience’ of cultivation technology. The commercialistic yet peaceful city of Huaxiu merrily rolls along until the appearance of Giant Frog....

Combustion! Episode 13 of The Daily Life of the Immortal King (Netflix) lands us back at the Alter of Metal with (fake) He Bufang on the approach and Tang Jingze confirming winning is the only rule. Backtrack to a childhood moment with Sun Rong versus Tang Jingze at a family social. Precocious kids, they quote ancients and trill French in a battle of talents. The blade fight in their imagination represents the thousand-year rivalry of their ancestors still raging on with their ‘play-nice’ families today....

Better Than It Has Any Right To Be From its cliched set up to its cookie-cutter group of teenagers at the heart of the story, The Descent has no right to be as good as it turns out to be. A combination of tense, atmospheric horror with masterful lighting effects make The Descent one of the better horrors to be released in recent years. Much like 28 Days Later, The Descent takes an aging concept and reinvigorates it, updating the formulaic ideas of old whilst adding a dash of originality to make it a pretty impressive horror....

Right & Wrong Episode 5 of The Devil Judge begins with Yo-Han suffering from another nightmare, this one involving similar flames and Isaac standing over him. Bolting upright, it now becomes clear that Ga-On looking similar to Isaac is reason enough for him to show disdain toward the young lawyer. Despite this, Yo-Han agrees to let him back onto the bench. Minister Cha shows up at the prison, where the flogging is still underway for her son....
