The fifth episode of AppleTV+’s Disclaimer was a tough one. It was the first one that didn’t bounce back and forth between the past and the present, and it really brought the drudgery of the present-day storyline to light. After Robert kicks her out of the house, Catherine

Most PBS viewers know sister companies Walter Presents and Eagle Eye Drama from popular series like Professor T and Hotel Portofino. Eagle Eye and Walter Presents executive producer Jo McGrath told Telly Visions the company started re-adapting the shows from Walter Presents because she and co-producers Walter Iuzzolino and Jason

AppleTV+’s Disclaimer arrives with two more episodes in its second week, which are all about grief and sex. But mostly grief... and also a lot of sex. We see Stephen and Nancy on the day they learn Jonathan has died. They are going about their casual lives grilling in

Apple TV+ continues to ride the success of Slow Horses, which has been commissioned to trot out to a six-episode Season 6 less than a week after the Season 4 finale. (Season 5 was greenlit in January 2024, a few days after the conclusion of Season 3.) Based on the

Disclaimer, the new AppleTV+ series written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, wastes no time letting viewers know exactly what they are in for with well, a disclaimer.

Season 4's finale, “Hello Goodbye,” would be more aptly titled “The Many Dads of River Cartwright,” as no fewer than three Slow Horses older men are positioned as father figures to River (Jack Lowden) in the Season 4 finale. This paternal trifecta is the key to understanding what

The penultimate episode of any thriller series is always a great place to review the journey thus far. “Grave Danger,” the fifth episode of Slow Horses’ fourth season, mirrors the second-to-last episodes of the past seasons – the final chunks of crucial exposition are handed over, the stakes are dialed up

After some mild complaints about the breathless, propulsive pacing of Slow Horses, “Returns” proves an apt title for a decisive episode in a season that felt unmoored as it crossed the halfway mark. The fourth episode did not give us all the answers we anticipated, but it gave us enough

Even if your knowledge of World War II history is spotty, you've almost certainly heard of the Blitz. This sustained eight-month bombing campaign saw German fighters commit mass attacks against industrial targets, towns, and cities throughout Britain. London was particularly hard hit, getting bombed for over 50 consecutive

For a spy thriller, Slow Horses is paced strangely. As a TV thriller, you can’t fault how it moves: each of Mick Harron’s books is split into the UK-standard six sub-hour episodes (often under 45 minutes), and they clip through plot turns and character beats like nobody’s

It once looked like Severance would become Apple TV+’s siren’s call to new subscribers, but by the time Season 2 premieres in January 2025, three years will have passed since its first season finale. By contrast, the streamer’s most reliable show, Slow Horses, has consistently delivered a
