Panhandle – One Billboard Outside Boggsville, Florida

  • Title: Panhandle – One Billboard Outside Boggsville, Florida
  • IMDb: link

The paths of  Bell Prescott (Luke Kirby) and Cammie Lorde (Tiana Okoye) cross again the show’s second episode with Bell needing help looking into the actions of his wife before her death and Cammie (Tiana Okoye) looking for some more easy wins to boost her stock and get her out of her current position of manning the local speed trap. There are some fun moments such as Bell accosting a man at a miniature golf course, but with no case of the week to solve the structure of the episode doesn’t hold up nearly as well in the pilot, although we do get surprise visitors for both Cammie and Bell, one who confirms Bell suspicions about Cammie and one who offers Bell some secrets about his wife.

The Lazarus Project – Episode 3

  • Title: The Lazarus Project – Episode 3
  • IMDb: link

George’s (Paapa Essiedu) road to betrayal begins here with an exploration of Janet (Vinette Robinson), the former member of the group who Archie (Anjli Mohindra) alluded to earlier in the season. Along with a present day meeting between George and Janet we also get flashbacks to her repeated year of hell and the births and loss of countless versions of the same child. While her motives in help George are somewhat circumspect, her pain is obviously real and the visceral lashing out of Rebrov (Tom Burke) at the world is easier to understand. The episode ends with George holding a detonator in his hands one-step closer to the end of the world and the resetting of time which will bring back Sarah (Charly Clive), but we’ve already seen some suspicion from the Lazarus Project on their newest recruit so will he get the chance to change the world, and, if so, can he actually go through with it?

The first episode of My Adventures with Superman introduces us to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), Lois Lane (Alice Lee), Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid), and Perry White (Darrell Brown). After a short intro with young Clark discovering his powers in Smallville, we move forward several years to Metropolis and Clark and Jimmy’s first day as interns at The Daily Planet where they meet Lois and quickly get pulled into her search for a big story involving stolen robots. While we don’t get Superman in costume here, we do get Clark defending Lois and Jimmy in a hoodie in the episode’s big action sequence against a series of killer robots, and Lois coining the moniker which he will eventually accept.

Unable to capture him, thanks in part to a warning from Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq), Red goes free.
