Will Trent – Don’t Let It Happen Again

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Will Trent – Don’t Let It Happen Again
  • IMDb: link

The third episode of Will Trent takes some unexpected turns as a pair of recent killings tie back to the murder of a family decades before. Although the episode tips its hand a bit as to who the killer is, the reveal still works especially in how the climax affects Faith (Iantha Richardson). We get a little more bonding between Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith, a quick look at how Trent has grown attached to Betty, and in the subplot an old mistake comes back to bite Angie (Erika Christensen) leading her back to Trent for comfort. More murder of the week than the first two episodes, “Don’t Let It Happen Again” is a solid episode even if the show still hasn’t gotten me sold on its subplots yet.

Jack Ryan – Our Death’s Keeper

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – Our Death’s Keeper
  • IMDb: link

While the other plots mainly spin their wheels (except for the end scene of the episode involving the kidnapping of an important figure), “Our Death’s Keeper” is most notable for Jack (John Krasinski) and Mike (Michael Kelly) gaslighting an arm’s dealer in Budapest in order to push him into revealing where the exchange of the Sokol device will take place. There are several fun segments along the way with the pair slowly turning the heat on the man until finally springing their trap. Elsewhere, Greer’s  (Wendell Pierce) digging leads to suspicions about Petr Kovac (Peter Guinness) and Wright (Betty Gabriel) is put in an uncomfortable position of how far she can stick her neck out to protect Jack.
