The Newsreader – Season 3 Premiere (Night of Nights)

The job of a season premiere is to establish new story arcs for the season and continue any arcs set up in the previous season’s finale. This premiere did a great job. This season premiere is one of few I’ve watched knowing that it was a show’s last. With this in mind, I’m watching and now reviewing the show with

Fisk – Season 3, Episode 5 (Red Wine and Evanescence)

The penultimate episode of a season usually provides a springboard to the finale, this job did that in an unexpected but not unwelcome way. The episode kicks off with Ray in a tux and telling George about an announcement he wants to make at 11am. Shortly after, Helen and Roz arrive at work, with the latter drinking a Coke-like energy

Fisk – Season 3, Episode 4 (The Sandman is in the Building)

Thankfully, the disappointment of the previous episode didn’t continue with this one, which sees Roz and Helen at a co-working Hub, and Ray and George mostly absent. The episode kicks off with the reveal that Tony’s driver licence has been suspended, as an “anonymous arsehole” complained about his driving to VicRoads, which forces Helen to be their chauffeur, with Victor

This immediately proves to be a disaster,

Fisk – Season 3 Premiere (Bees in the Hive)

The job of a season premiere is to establish new story arcs for the season, and revisit any arcs set up in the previous season’s finale. This premiere did its job pretty well. This episode kicks off with Helen arriving at work to inform everyone that she is making a major announcement at 10am (and it’s not mud cake). It’s

My Life is Murder – Season 4 Finale (The Widows Club – Part II)

The job of a season finale is to close off the season’s story arcs and establish new arcs for the next season (if there is one). My Life is Murder has always been self-contained with no season-long story arcs, however this finale is unique as it is the final part of the series’ first ever two-parter episode. The episode kicks

This episode is all about a fancy country club, a widow clique, a murder in a hyperbaric chamber, and a walk down the memory lane of Alexa’s past. We kick off with Alexa going to meet Harry to get the details of the case of the week – Charlie Scott, 61, killed in an explosion of a hyperbaric chamber in
