Cape Fear (S1, Ep. 3) "Phantom Sensations"



Apple TV’s Cape Fear is turning into a masterclass in psychological warfare. “Phantom Sensations,” the series slams on the gas as Anna embeds herself in Max’s inner circle, a new predator targets the Bowden children, and a legendary piece of cinematic history detonates Max Cady’s sense of control. This hour proves that even when the teen subplots are a bit hit-or-miss, the overall slow-burn buildup is phenomenal.

Marshals (S1, Ep. 13) "Wolves At The Door" Season Finale


The freshman finale of Marshals offers typical broadcast network fare: shootouts, emotional farewells, and a Yellowstone crossover tease.
