The new Netflix series opens with a triple murder and a mystery as to the reason behind it before introducing us to Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), the wife of the British Defense Secretary (Andrew Buchan) and potential future Prime Minister who also happens to be a spy working for a shadowy organization know as Black Doves.

Hawkeye – The Complete First Season

  • Title: Hawkeye – Season One

Of all the Disney+ series created for the MCU, Hawkeye is easily my favorite. Casting two likable stars and throwing them together in an odd couple pairing at Christmas with an entire city’s underworld after them provides humor, action, thrills, and tons of fun especially once it also begins to mix in Yelena (Florence Pugh) as well.

The season finale of Murder in a Small Town picks up the thread of the unsolved murder of the woman posed in the woods by delving into the same suspects suggested the previous week.

Interior Chinatown – Delivery Guy

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Interior Chinatown – Delivery Guy
  • IMDb: link

The second episode of Interior Chinatown begins to explore the rules of the world as we see the limitations put on both Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) and Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) who seem stuck in small supporting roles to a larger story. While Lana can offer insight and advice to Green (Lisa Gilroy) and Turner (Sullivan Jones), she is stuck firmly in the role of a sidekick. As for Willis, the pair ignore him completely and his access to parts of the city (here the police department) is blocked. However, after spending most of the episode unable to get into the department, Willis uses a stereotypical Asian role to gain entry, opening the door a bit wider to his access in the world.
