Beyond - Celeste television review

While other subplots involve Jeff (Jeff Pierre) attempting to recruit Tom (Michael McGrady) to help in his investigation, Luke (Jonathan Whitesell) getting expelled from college, and Willa (Dilan Gwyn) learning more of grandfather’s secrets involving her parents, the real focus of “Celeste” is to introduce Holden (Burkely Duffield) to Charlie (Eden Brolin). It’s obvious (at least to the audience) that Charlie can’t be trusted, but even through her charade you can see there is some genuine appreciation for Holden and the life her organization wants to rip him from.

Beyond - Ties that Bind television review

After an intriguing set-up, Beyond takes a bit of a step back in an episode which continues to tease larger ramifications but spends most of its time on typical family dysfunction. After learning that his family isn’t as perfect as they’ve struggled to make it seem, Holden (Burkely Duffield) finally becomes convinced to allow Willa (Dilan Gwyn) to help restore his memory of his time in the Realm and, she hopes, learn to harness and control his dangerous and unpredictable abilities. There’s also a bit of foreshadowing that although Willa cares for Holden, and will do her best to protect him, her motives are more complicated than she’s willing to let on (and isn’t above putting him in danger to get what she needs).
