REVIEW: Reacher – Season 3, Episode 2, “Truckin'”

“Truckin’” is our first real indication of what season 3 of Reacher will look like. Now that “Persuader” has set things in motion, the show can mine the premise of Reacher going undercover for tension, thrills, and a few laughs, while his DEA handlers watch and assist from the sidelines. ...

REVIEW: Reacher – Season 3, Episode 1, “Persuader”

A year and a half after Netflix released season 1, Castlevania: Nocturne is back. Season 1 of this show was okay but nothing special, and it couldn’t even touch Netflix’s first Castlevania series. Erszebet Bathory, or at least Nocturne’s version of her, doesn’t compare to Carmilla or Varney ...
