Just when the Frasers thought they could find some peace within their own ridge, the realities of living in the Carolina wilds among warring men came back at haunt them on Sunday night’s “Journeycake” episode with the return of the Brown brothers. Add in murdered families, burnt down homes, and a bit of the show’s signature time travel, and the episode was another packed installment that ended with one (or potentially more) of the Fraser crew in jeopardy.
There’s been beef between the Frasers and the Browns ever since Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) helped Isaiah Morton (Jon Tarcy) and Alicia Brown (Anna Burnett) escape with their unborn baby, and even more so after the Browns shot Morton in the back during the Battle of Alamance (and broke Claire’s syringe). So when the brothers descended on the ridge with a small group of men...

Whenever an episode begins with a shootout, there’s an expectation that the remainder of the scenes will be equally — if not more — compelling. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case in “Outlander’s” first real stumble of the season, “Company We Keep,” which spent too much time focusing on minor characters only to end up reverting the leads back to their plotlines from two episodes ago by the time the closing credits rolled
The installment kicked off with Roger (Richard Rankin) facing his first real challenge as a captain, as his convoy came under attack by the Browns. One of his men, Isaiah Morton (Jon Tarcy), ruined a lucrative marriage for Alicia Brown (Anna Burnett), sending the family was out for revenge. Although Roger had the men outnumbered, he called for a ceasefire and opened a barrel of whiskey to quell the situation, but when he realized the Browns weren’t interested,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the fourth episode of Season 5 of “Outlander,” entitled “The Company We Keep.”
After the horror show at the Beardsleys’ cabin in last week’s “Outlander” episode, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) found themselves heading out to rejoin the militia with an infant in tow. They caught up with Roger (Richard Rankin), Fergus (Cesar Domboy) and the rest of the men in Brownsville where all hell had broken loose.
It all started because one of Jamie’s men, Isaiah Morton (Jon Tarcy), had an affair with Alicia Brown (Anna Burnett), the daughter of Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy) and niece of Richard Brown (Chris Larkin), the men for whom Brownsville is named. Her father disapproved not only because Alicia and Isaiah weren’t married, but also because he lost out on the dowry her betrothed had promised the family.

There are times when the prognostication world anoints a presumed Oscar winner, only to have the film or the performance fall flat when actually seen. Then, there are other times when the movie or performer meets expectations and the victor should begin writing up their speech for the Academy Awards. More often than not, the former winds up being true. Gary Oldman is a case of the latter, as his turn in Darkest Hour is 100% going to win him the Oscar for Best Actor. It’s just a done deal, Academy wise. Beginning its theatrical run today, it’s also a quality biopic that’s more than simply shameless awards bait. The film is a look at British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Oldman), how he came to power during the early days of World War II, and his agonizing decision over whether to negotiate with Hitler or fight on.

With characters on the run and battle lines drawn, Ripper Street series 5, airing now on BBC Two, gets off to a strong start...
This review contains spoilers.

5.1 Closed Casket
The fifth and final series of Ripper Street starts a mere three days after the final events of the fourth series, opening with the funeral of Bennett Drake. Reid (Matthew Macfadyen), Jackson (Adam Rothenberg), and Susan (MyAnna Buring) remain hidden in the sewers, still reeling from Drake’s death at the hands of the feral Nathaniel (Jonas Armstrong). Nathaniel’s brother, Augustus Dove (Killian Scott) sets about covering up his own actions as well as his sibling’s. To aid this, he brings back an old Whitechapel nemesis, Jedediah Shine (Joseph Mawle), last seen beaten into submission by Drake, as the new Chief of H division and commands him to track down Reid.
The fourth series’ climactic scenes were designed to shatter the status quo that was the investigative team of Lehman Street. Even when the relationship between Reid, Drake, and Jackson was fractious, they were united in their common desire to clean up the streets of Whitechapel by whatever means necessary. Losing Drake, and therefore the strong presence of Jerome Flynn, is a risk to the established dynamic of the show as the chemistry of the three central characters was often its strongest element.
How the series manages without Flynn in the longer term of course remains to be seen, but there is enough intrigue in this first episode that Drake’s loss is felt solely on an emotional level, rather than in Closed Casket’s construction. Time is spent with protagonists and antagonists alike, all of whom deal with Drake’s death in different ways. Though her scenes are brief, Charlene McKenna’s performance is heart-wrenching as the grief of losing her husband overcomes Rose and she runs away from her home. Macfadyen and Rothenberg are as reliable as ever, stoic and focused in their ambition to avenge their friend.
The episode itself reflects that stoicism; aside from Rose and Matilda’s respective scenes and a short moment in which Susan catches sight of Connor outside Dove’s home, the emotions are somewhat downplayed. There’s a new, more sombre version of the theme tune, befitting the mournful turn of events and used to establish the quieter tone that the episode goes for. It works well, particularly in the more sinister moments, such as Dove sweeping Connor into his arms, or Matilda coming face to face with an old foe of her father’s. When the heightened, emotional scenes do come, the contrast helps them land more effectively.
In the midst of this fallout, Closed Casket has a lot of set-up to do, as well as reminding everyone of what has gone before. Naturally, it feels a little slow as a result, a deliberate and steady attempt to move the characters into position for the coming episodes. As the dire nature of Reid, Jackson, and Susan’s respective situations become clearer and more obstacles are found to be in their way, the episode picks up pace towards a final scene that is still more about scene-setting than action, but with the added bonus of firmly establishing the opposite sides of this series’ struggle.
Introducing old faces is never an easy task , especially when they have been absent for two series. Thankfully, having an actor with the presence of Joseph Mawle is a good hand to play and the second he strides in, the memory of Shine’s awfulness comes flooding back. Shine is one of the best antagonists to cross Reid’s path and Mawle’s spitting performance is set up in perfect opposition to the ever calm and methodical Macfadyen. Though kept separate for this episode, the anticipation of their inevitable confrontation bubbles under the surface, ready to build as the series progresses.
The returning secondary characters continue to provide capable support. Thatcher finds himself in his element with Shine in control and Benjamin O’Mahoney’s cocksure attitude is undercut beautifully in the climactic scene of the episode. Anna Burnett is given some of the more emotional work to do as Matilda is faced with surviving without her father and the newfound knowledge of his violent acts. Both Armstrong and Scott remain impressive as the chalk-and-cheese Dove brothers, one struggling to control his inner animal, the other the very definition of calm manipulation.
With characters on the run, stakes raised, and battle lines drawn, it’s a strong start to the fifth series. Ripper Street has steadily become a more consistently good show during its runtime and if the current trajectory holds, it will finish its time with us on a considerable high.

The latest Ripper Street is a remarkable piece of drama with a heart-stopping climactic scene. Here's Becky's review...
This review contains spoilers.
3.4 Your Father. My Friend.
First of all, apologies for missing my review for last week’s episode, Ashes And Diamonds. Unfortunately, a combination of technical issues and personal circumstances meant that I couldn’t get my thoughts into writing. In brief, it was an episode in which the central mystery was weak, but the character work around it was strong, particularly that of Bennett Drake, stepping into the absence of Reid and doing so very well. It also shows that Jerome Flynn is more than capable of carrying the show.
The excellent character work from that episode carries over into Your Father, My Friend, as Rose’s sighting of Alice/Matilda running away from her captors prompts Drake to seek out his inspector and return him to Whitechapel.
