This Way Up – Season 2, Episode 5 Review

August 15, 2021August 15, 2021Kieran FreemantleComment(0)

The fourth episode of This Way Up’s second season was disappointing because it was a nothing episode. The follow-up episode was a big improvement as it was filled with character drama.

August 24, 2019May 13, 2022Kieran FreemantleComment(0)

After two strong episodes, the third episode of This Way Up seemed more like a filler episode in the series.
