At the end of the episode, Bobby Kennedy is assassinated, causing Megan to dissolve in tears, but a recently dumped Don barely notices.

1.1 & 1.2 The Doorway Don’s taciturnity continued throughout the two-hour opening episode, broken only to decry over-use of the word “love” in ad-land (let’s hope he never lives to see that McDonalds campaign) and to chat up his latest fling’s husband, Dr Rosen. The camera niceties may have been guilt-driven of course, but you have to wonder which of the Rosens Don really wants to be close to. Did his affair with with the Doctor’s wife began before or after he witnessed that heroic rescue of doorman Jonesy?...

The story of Asterion in Greek mythology often follows two possible characters, with the more popular Asterion being the minotaur that’s located at the center of the labyrinth. The creature that is trapped in a maze. Last week’s episode ended on a mammoth note and its weight is certainly felt this time around, shown in the best possible fashion: a crazy time jump! Masters of Sex’s second season is said to cover the time between 1958 and ’61, so this sort of jump should perhaps not be that unexpected, especially as we enter the second half of the season....

5.10 The Kindness of Strangers Whilst Alator suffers, everything else is all sweetness and loveliness for Arthur and Gwen as he takes her for a ride into the forest, plans a breakfast for her, and promptly dispatches Merlin to do all the work. Things were much more interesting when Gwen was under Morgan’s enchantment! Whilst they’re being all loved-up, refugees flood into Camelot from one of the few places where magic is still used, the victims of Morgana and her wicked ways....

Not only was it so pixelated that it made me wonder if anyone at Isle of Man Films had actually seen their logo on a big screen before, but to make things even more surreal, it was followed by the glossy sheen of the Scott Free emblem, pertaining to the production company of four-time Oscar nominee Ridley Scott. What even is this film? The Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt stars as Richard Thorncroft, a former TV detective who’s now promoting thrombosis socks....

1.4 eps1.3_da3m0ns.mp4 Goodbye Mr Robot’s casual viewers; hello cult status. That got weird, fast. After a playfully misleading opening that promised a generic heist episode (complete with that classic overhead shot of the map being unrolled in the criminals’ headquarters), the fourth instalment of Mr Robot morphed into a Lynchian experiment. You think you know what this show is by now? Think again, it said. It was only weeks ago, but it seems a long time since Mr Robot set up the ‘hack of the week’ structure that aligned its first two episodes with TV’s current glut of detective shows and established Elliot’s moral compass....

3.4 Metadata Throughout season 2, many viewers were turned off by a perceived lack of progress. Finding out that the first seven episodes or so were an elaborate fantasy was certainly interesting but it came at a steep cost of pacing. Historically, that lack of progress or poor pacing hasn’t been an issue because again: this show is just so damn cool. Style and a smile will get you far with television viewers....

Would I survive? Netflix’s fourth original effort, Orange is the New Black, doesn’t waste time on the fear of prison because the protagonist already accepted the inevitable. The show follows Piper Chapman, who is set to spend the next 15 months of her life in a women’s correctional facility because she had a drug-dealing ex-girlfriend 10 years earlier. Played by the relatively unknown Taylor Schilling, Piper trades a cozy life in Brooklyn with a new-fiancé, Larry (Jason Biggs), for an orange jumpsuit....

Outlander Season 2, Episode 4 Outlanderdoesn’t always have the most cohesively-themed episodes and in an installment like “La Dame Blanche,” it shows. This very much felt like two episodes: pre-dinner party and post-dinner party. There’s even a random, one week time jump in the middle to illustrate the point. It’s not terribly distracting, but it does make for some awkward pacing — not to mention a second half that is, for the most part, introduced in themes and subjects divorced from its first....

The now-fatherless son goes to take a seat in a nearby chair, perhaps to avoid falling to his knees in grief. Instead of displaying any of the emotions such news generally elicits, however, the seemingly dazed Melrose notices something on the floor and goes to pick it up. It’s a used needle, and when he stands again, the camera reveals a small spot of blood on the elbow of his shirt, where he had pricked himself for a high moments earlier....

Then there is the matter of Zach Snyder at the helm. A director with little to no proven cinematic experience or success (Dawn of the Dead was quite good, 300 less so) handing him Watchmen seems a huge risk. I have little doubt he’ll cope with the visual stylings required to make the film look right. Whether he’ll successfully eek out the many and varied plot themes inherent throughout the novel is up for debate however....

1.3 The Possibilities Every moment with Tom Brooke and Anatol Yusef on screen is a delight, and the angels get to have a couple of fun scenes this week. Their first scene is squaring off with Sheriff Root, which is just a wonderful bit of comedy. Root is questioning, quite rightly, why the two men are there, and why they aren’t seeking help from the local authorities if they are the government....

1.6 Sundowner Preacher has been putting on some of the best displays of comic violence that I’ve ever seen on television. Fiore and DeBlanc, from their first appearance, have been a spectacular vehicle for slapstick, like an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon made out of real people. This week’s episode makes great use of that comic violence, as they go from explaining just what Genesis is to Jesse Custer to being trapped in a knock-down, drag-out fight with one of the seraphim in the form of a blonde woman from the diner....

1.8 El Valero The crucial point isn’t just that Quincannon was menacing and funny, but that we also got a little crucial character development as to just why the Voice didn’t work on him. Quincannon isn’t the kind of person who believes in God, because after his entire family died, he stopped believing in a God that doesn’t answer in favour of a god who he can see and interact with: the god of meat, a tangible thing....

4.1 A Is For A-L-I-V-E So there is a dead body in the trunk of Wilden’s car, but it isn’t anyone we know. The producers’ tease that the thing the Liars saw at the end of last season was worse than everything they’ve ever seen, ever, once again proved a little bit untrue, and it’s actually just a dead pig. Creepy, sure, but not the worst thing these girls have been subjected to over the years....

5.11 No One Here Can Love Or Understand Me Alison wasn’t even in Rosewood this week, and yet she seems to have lost all of her friends and allies after her various stunts since returning. Emily, of all people, is leading the charge, recruiting Ezra to investigate Cyrus and prove whether or not she actually knew him prior to last week’s impromptu confession. Obviously Ezra found the answers in double-quick time due to his carefully cultivated stalker skills and barn full of equipment, but I’m calling nonsense on his apparent cluelessness about what happened during Alison’s disappearance....

6.13 The Gloves Are On It took a while, but A is back, and they’re apparently shopping around for some new toys. As well as a fresh batch of lies to use against our girls, we also have a brand new bunch of characters from which to choose our suspects. It no longer has to be someone we already know, as was the assumption with both Mona and Cece, but could instead pop up from any of the Liars’ new lives....

6.3 Songs Of Experience That line there, more than a lot of the things said in these two introspective, admirably quiet hours of television, sums up where we are with the show right now. Even the good guys, the people the liars trust, have proven more often than not to be liars themselves, and Andrew is just the last in a long line of would-be heroes that have become wrapped up in this warped reality, only to discover that they in fact have no power at all....

It seems that the team have to fight bad guys from every side. From dinosaurs (which we will get to in a minute) to nosey journalists to other members of the home office with more influence than Lester, the team is having to navigate through some very perilous waters at the moment. Added to all this, there is also still the ongoing issue of Helen Cutter lurking in the background and her goal to claim the artefact, which, it seems, is to be the crux of this series....
