Danger Man - Position of Trust TV review

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. With a personal stake in the outcome, there’s a ruthlessness to John Drake‘s (Patrick McGoohan) actions in “Position of Trust.” After being approached by an old friend whose daughter has become addicted to opiates, the spy heads to the Middle East searching for those buying raw opium and smuggling it into the United States. Helping him are local agent Sandi Lewis (Lois Maxwell, best known for her role as the first Miss Moneypenny) and an unwitting accomplish that Drake tricks and blackmails into helping him get the information he came for.

Legion - Chapter 17 television review

Without showing us what she did with Clark (Hamish Linklater), “Chapter 17” fills in on how the Shadow King (Navid Negahban) won over Melanie (Jean Smart). Frankly, it wasn’t that difficult (and pretty much unfolded exactly how you would expect). Despite preventing Clark from fulfilling his part in David‘s (Dan Stevens) plan, the rest of his time-delayed chess peices are all able to perform their actions which end in Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) the desert with the monks and a weapon David believes should be powerful enough to destroy the Shadow King.
