Run Away is the 11th adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel by Netflix. This adaptation transfers the story of a man looking for missing drug addicted daughter from New York to England. Simon Greene (James Nesbitt) is a successful finance advisor whose oldest daughter, Paige (Ellie de Lange), has been missing ever since she got hooked on […]
It’s not particularly original to compare Crime 101 to Michael Mann’s Heat, but that’s only because of how nakedly writer/director Bart Layton is quoting it. His adaptation of Don Winslow’s 2020 novella brings a modern flare to the car chases, adds a subplot of criminal in-fighting, and dials down the moral complexity, but the story is […]
There’s been an interesting trend in television over the last couple of years where the penultimate episode of a season is an extended flashback. Usually that episode also serves as a means to convey key information about the present-day story to the audience – think the penultimate episode of Paradise’s first season. And sometimes, as […]

It took more than half of the season to finally hear the Game of Thrones theme in all its glory, but boy was that the perfect moment to bring it out. After three episodes that were much lighter in subject, the fourth installment of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms took things to a much […]
There’s something about the Muppets that can’t be quantified. For people of a certain age, they were an essential part of their childhood. Sure, Sesame Street helped raise several generations of kids (and still does today, albeit on a different platform now that PBS’s funding has been slashed). But the Muppets are a different piece […]
Kudos to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for not holding onto Egg’s true identity for as long as humanly possible. I know that there are folks out there who managed to stay spoiler-free as to just who this tiny squire might turn out to be (even though the series was pretty heavy-handed, especially in […]
