Death and Other Details - Rare

There are quite a few moving pieces in the opening episode of Hulu’s Death and Other Details, one could argue too many (but that doesn’t stop it from being a darn good time). As our narrator, detective Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), points out, we need to keep our eyes on the details. Our story opens aboard a luxury cruise ship owned by a banker turned entrepreneur (Rahul Kohli) whose maiden voyage is hired for the retirement celebration of CEO Lawrence Collier (David Marshall Grant). Among the guests is Imogene Scott (Violett Beane) who grew up in the Collier household following the death of her mother in the one case Rufus was never able to solve (for which the young Imogene, played flashbacks by Sophia Reid-Gantzert, never forgave him).

Maggie Moore(s)

The plot of Maggie Moore(s) makes for an intriguing trailer but a deeply flawed movie. The plot involves the death of two different women named Maggie Moore in the same small town exactly one week apart. There are basically two-halves of the story stuck together with scotch tape and a prayer with a romance subplot thrown in as well creating a film with enjoyable moments here and there but more than a few issues it simply can’t overcome.

Reacher 1 - ATM

The unbending justice of former military investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) continues with the show’s return for a Second Season. The episode gets its name from the short introductory interlude which reminds returning viewers just who Reacher is and also works as an introduction to new viewers when our good Samaritan helps out with a situation involving a carjacking and an ATM machine. Reacher’s time in the military was referenced multiple times in the show’s First Season, but the mystery he’ll find himself in the middle this time around will allow for flashbacks to those days in with the 110th Special Investigators Unit filling in more of the character’s backstory.
