'No Ordinary Heist' Review: A Grounded and Gripping True Crime Thriller
By disdaining from grand spectacles in favour of an intimate, layered exploration of class and personal collapse, No Ordinary Heist finds its strength. It trades flash for a grounded look at how ordinary lives can be pushed to the breaking point.

'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' Review: A Fitting, but Familiar Televisual Send-off For Thomas Shelby
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is a stylish, silly and camp send-off for Thomas Shelby that still has Murphy putting in great work with a fun supporting cast. But while it's a conclusive ending, it rarely feels more than an extended episode of the show than it does a real film.

'Crime 101' Review: A Solid and Well-made, But Derivative Homage to Michael Mann’s Crime Classics
Crime 101 is highly derivative of many classic crime-thrillers (especially Michael Mann’s work), but the vintage vibe, slow-pacing and character-focused approach makes for a better than expected heist-thriller.

'Cross' Season 2 Review: Political Murder and a Killer We Know From the Start
Cross season 2 is a fun watch. At times bloated, the central message at the heart of the murders (wow, that’s a weird sentence to type) is political without being preachy. It’s a show that cares about its characters and why they act the way they do.
