The Pretender - Someone to Trust TV review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another episode featuring a man who can be anyone he wants to be. Jarod‘s (Michael T. Weiss) latest job posing as an arsonist to take down a crooked developer takes unexpected turns when Jarod falls for the man’s wife (Julia Campbell) and her husband dies in a fiery explosion that has the local sheriff (Eric Pierpoint) look at both of them as suspects. There’s some nice chemistry between the pair, and in another timeline (where she didn’t plan to frame him and kill him) it would have been interesting go see what could have been. Jarod’s feelings for the widow cloud his judgement enough that he almost becomes the patsy she planned for, using both Jarod and the sheriff to get rid of her husband and claim the $10 million estate for herself.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - One World, One People television review

The six-episode run of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier concludes with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) becoming Captain America and working with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and at times even the disgraced former Captain America (Wyatt Russell), to take down the Flag Smashers. Along with putting Sam in costume for the first time, the episode also features the character calling out politicians for their cavalier attitudes which led to creation of the Flag Smashers and their movement. Although never mentioned in the series, the entire world shakeup was caused by selfish decision of Tony Stark which the world is still paying for long after his death. While the episode earns points for Sam calling for change, it shouldn’t be lost on audiences the episode ends soon after and prior to the show introducing just how such change could fix the complicated problems of the world which look to be the true legacy of Tony Stark.
