[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Bull Season 6, Episode 15 “With These Hands.”] The latest Bull is a big one for Geneva Carr. Not only was it her directorial debut, but her character, Marissa Morgan, also received some major news about the man in her life. In “With These Hands,” Marissa turned to Taylor Rentzel (MacKenzie Meehan) to do a little digging into Henri Fray (Edward Akrout), and by the time she’d changed her mind, it was too late: Her friend had already discovered he’s married! But there was more to the story, Henri explained to Marissa. They’ve been separated for five years, but she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the middle of the divorce. They stayed married so she could use his insurance. He wasn’t too pleased to find out she had a background check done on him. Marissa planned to try to win back his trust. That information did “throw...

‘Killing Eve’s’ Assassin Continues to Blindside Everyone — Even Viewers — With Her Batshit Brutality
[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Killing Eve” Episode 4, “Sorry, Baby.”]
“I want to kill her with my bare hands,” says Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), indicating that the Mi-6 officer has turned a corner in her investigation into a female assassin.
On last week’s “Killing Eve,” the show made a huge leap from being a diverting spy-assassin romp to must-see television when Villanelle (Jodie Comer) took out Bill (David Haig), Eve’s longtime colleague. This marked the first time Eve has actually cared for one of the victims, and his murder at her hands amounted to an assassination. After all, this was someone close to Eve, and she’s certainly taking that act personally. The gauntlet has been thrown.
Sunday’s episode deals with the aftermath when Eve’s emotional state is still raw; she’s still trying to make sense of Bill’s death and find purpose in work. At the same time, the...

I really wanted to like Sword of Vengeance, I really did. Billed as “an almighty clash between Hammer of the Gods and Game of Thrones”, the film comes from the same people that worked on Nicolas Winding-Refn’s Valhalla Rising – to be fair that should have thrown up a warning or two given how much I hated that film – and tells the story of the Shadow Walker (Weber) who, cast out by the ruthless king, is searching for a new place to call home but clashes with many of the kingdom’s inhabitants along his journey. His story crosses paths with that of warrior Anna (Wallis) who, after the death of her husband, is called upon to lead her fellow Saxons into battle.
