As an embarrassingly avid TV watcher, I’m surprised at how many shows I missed the first time around. Luckily, I had no reason to fear.

Looking around the Internet, reviews of The Bridge review read “The End of a Nightmare”, “The central mystery hits its peak” and, most amusingly, “the killer’s motives and methods are revealed” (these weren’t clear before?). None of these statements are incorrect…and yet I can’t help but feel frustrated and annoyed at this supposedly “climatic” episode.

Breaking Bad gives us a powerful punch to the gut as we head into the penultimate episode of the series next week. Tying up a plethora of loose ends, does this week’s episode reinforce our faith that finale will be not only epic but incredibly satisfying as well?

I’m getting whiplash from the revolving Kings. This week, Edward (Max Irons) takes the crown back, Warwick (James Frain) and Henry Stafford (Michael Maloney) die, and the Brothers York make a dubious moral decision.

The time has come to pack up our summer things and get down to business. Fall TV business. Yes, folks, that cotton-candy flavoured time of year has arrived, promising the return of your favourites, the arrival of newbies we can’t get enough of, and the desperate urge to avoid all things Revolution.

The Bridge delivers an anti-climatic episode as Marco (Demián Bichir) and Sonya (Diane Kruger) race to save Gus (Carlos Pratt) and the serial killer tropes pile up.
