Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 Episode 2 gives Maisri another vision that initially appears to be about Julia’s infant son, but the details point much farther into the Fraser family’s future.

One of the most unsettling confrontations in Netflix’s Unabomber arrives near the end of Ted Kaczynski’s time in Henry Murray’s Harvard research program. Russell Crowe’s Murray stops treating the young mathematics student as merely another participant and turns the experiment directly against him, using recordings of Ted’s private thoughts before telling him that his behavior…
Netflix’s Unabomber spends most of its running time moving toward two confrontations separated by more than three decades.

American Horror Story has never treated location as simple background decoration. From the Los Angeles mansion associated with Murder House to the New Orleans atmosphere surrounding Coven and the New York setting of AHS: NYC, each installment uses architecture and geography to establish its own personality. Season 13 continues that tradition, but the production has…
Unabomber moves between two versions of Ted Kaczynski’s life that look as though they belong to different films. One follows the gifted teenager arriving at Harvard in 1958, where he comes into contact with psychologist Henry Murray and participates in a controversial research program. The other jumps forward to the 1990s, when federal investigators are…
A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new generation, but Netflix’s sequel does something the original sitcom could only occasionally attempt.
