The Terminal List: Dark Wolf kicks off with a tense, action-driven premiere, but three episodes in I’m still asking: is this Ben Edwards’ villain origin story, or a redemption arc to justify what comes later? Either way, the suspense has me hooked.
The Rainmaker pilot might not reinvent the legal drama wheel, but it’s fun, twisty, and carries that easy, breezy energy of old-school TV courtroom shows. With a scrappy underdog team and John Slattery chewing scenery, this adaptation could be your next binge-worthy guilty pleasure.
Black Bird delivers powerhouse performances and chilling tension, but I wasn’t as hooked as I expected. Here’s why this slow-burn thriller with standout acting didn’t fully pull me in, though it’s still very much worth watching.

The Flatshare surprised me in the best way, what starts as a quirky roommate arrangement quickly becomes a heartfelt story of healing, connection, and maybe even love.

Agent Hamilton Season 2 trades global conspiracy for case-by-case intel work, and it works. With tight pacing, grounded missions, and Jakob Oftebro’s subtle intensity, this Scandi spy series hits a confident new stride.
