Maul – The Dark Revenge

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord – Chapter 1: The Dark Revenge
  • wiki: link

Stuck with one of Star Wars‘ unnecessarily complicated naming conventions, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord – Chapter 1: The Dark Revenge reintroduces the character of Maul setting events of the series prior to those in Star Wars: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or Solo: A Star Wars Story. As the series opens, Maul (Sam Witwer) is working from the shadows on the planet Janix pitting various underground mobsters against each other while attempting to regain his lost power. By the end of “The Dark Revenge,” one mobster will be dead with another in Maul’s clutches, a police station will be decimated by Maul and his crew (in the highlight action sequence), and the former Sith Lord will come across the unexpected.

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to early 20th Century London and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Adapted from one of Agatha Christie’s short stories chronicling Poirot’s early cases, “The Adventure of the Clapham Cook” offers Poirot (David Suchet) a case he believes is beneath him searching for a missing cook (Freda Dowie), and a client who promptly fires him well before the case is closed, only for the detective to stumble on a much larger mystery involving murder, fraud, and the theft of thousands from the local bank.

Daredevil – Shoot the Moon

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Shoot the Moon
  • IMDb: link

Marginally advancing the season’s plot, “Shoot the Moon” feels mostly like a filler episode where we get to spend time with various characters and get to see a couple of sequences highlighting our hero’s new costume while also showing us that Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) has learned a few things from her boyfriend. The Northern Star is still pivotal to the plans of both heroes and villains, but no real movement is made. Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) is confirmed to be the man who saved Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) but the reasons for his actions, and later attack on the anti-vigilante squad, aren’t explored.
