Chance Riots break out across Madrid targeting Banco Industrial as episode 2 of The Minions Of Midas Begins. The story breaking in the newspaper has been enough of a catalyst to push the protestors over the edge. The board gather on the back of this and Victor is berated by Enrique for keeping “this dusty old thing” going over all these years. Having heard enough, Victor exerts his authority and tells them he’s in charge because he can think long term....
A Magical Start? Boasting some gorgeous animation, a simple story and a pretty enjoyable opening episode, The Misfit of Demon Academy gets off to a good start for what should be a really entertaining set of episodes to come. The idea of a big magical fight to show off the power of Anos is a little cliched and it does pose a particularly challenging problem going forward – if Anos has this much power then where is the conflict coming from?...

A Well-Worn Blast From The Past Amidst the ongoing PR fiasco of Fallout 76 and Bioware’s disastrous looter-shooter Anthem, The Outer Worlds could not have dropped at a more opportune time. Acting as the spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds is a reasonably polished, refreshing roleplaying title that puts story and dialogue at its forefront in favour of robust gameplay and mechanics. It’s a timely reminder of how good these RPGs can be when you focus on creating a good game rather than a polished monetised model and the result is something that immediately feels familiar and enjoyable to anyone who’s played Obsidian’s previous games....

She introduces herself as Sam’s mother, Candace, and reveals that this is her home. Sam moved in after he and Mary split up (Alan, ever the professional therapist, is not at liberty to discuss this with her). Candace reveals she’s a fan of his books; she suggested Sam get therapy, in fact. But when Alan begs her to call the police, she refuses. Candace doesn’t support Sam in this, but she can’t turn him in....
And yet, when speaking with Sam, Alan is extremely calm. Sam explains how strong the urge has been to kill the man (his name is Elias).

The idea of protecting his mother supposedly didn’t work–not that we have proof he tried this suggestion. So, Alan suggests they try to distract him from his feelings....
The Jewish backgrounds of creators Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg are the heart of their psychological thriller The Patient, generating palpable tension between differing beliefs and family ties; and between surviving and living a meaningful life. In this FX/Hulu limited series, Steve Carell stars as Dr. Alan Strauss, a Jewish therapist reeling from his wife Beth’s (Laura Niemi) cancer-caused death. Alienated from his son Ezra (Andrew Leeds), who departed from Alan and Beth’s Reform faith to take up Orthodox Judaism, Alan already feels desperately alone when he’s taken captive....

Psychological Woes One of my favourite things about doing this job is being proven wrong time and again. I was ready to write off The Purge after its first season and couldn’t possibly see how a series set after the events of the annual Purge event would work. After the ensuing chaos last episode, The Purge continues to prove me wrong and deliver impressive drama as our characters deal with the consequences of what happened the previous night....

Influence Of The Yurei One of the biggest issues many people have had with The Terror’s second season has revolved around the profound lack of scares and outright horror on offer. In a way, The Terror has changed its emphasis this year to focus much more exclusively on the horrors of racism and war rather than genuine scares and it hasn’t always been as effective as it perhaps should be. On the one hand, this plays out much more like a historical drama with sprinklings of horror but also abandons what made the first season so endearing....
“A drum, a drum! Macbeth has come.” Next to Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth is one of the most popular William Shakespeare plays. Much like the former, Macbeth is a tragedy and its combination of resonate themes, haunting imagery and memorable characters makes it a really endearing story that’s helped it stand the test of time. Written and Directed by Joel Coen, AppleTV’s newest feature is a real tour de force when it comes to acting and cinematography....
