REVIEW: Reacher – Season 3, Episode 7, “L.A. Story”
“L.A. Story” is one of those essential but unsung episodes. It’s the last one before the finale, so it’s mostly setting up the final battle, which means it’s not going to have the payoffs everyone is craving at this point in the season. But the buildup is necessary to make the explosion th...

“The Hollow of His Hand” encapsulates some of the biggest problems with Daredevil: Born Again, telling a story that should’ve been allowed to breathe in as short a time as possible and feeling weightless as a result. This is not the ever-unfolding story of Matt Murdock so much as seeing what ...
