This The Blacklist review contains spoilers. The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 3 In typical The Blacklist fashion, “The Four Guns” doesn’t refer to firearms.

This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers. Star Trek: Picard Season 3 feels like a miracle.

Luther: The Fallen Sun, the first movie adventure for Idris Elba’s morally (and fashionably) grey detective, follows up five series’ worth of shenanigans in the successful BBC TV thriller.

“Holy God! Whattya showing me here?” When Colin Farrell‘s Oz Cobblepot asked that question of Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader and Jeffery Combs’s Lieutenant Gordon in The Batman, he was reacting to a set of grisly pictures.
