    As “Reprisal” hurtled toward its end, I was legitimately uncertain as to who would live and who would die. It’s also rare for a show like this to work both in its large and small beats.

    If it weren't for Abigail Spencer, I wouldn't have bothered, but I fell hopelessly in love with her in Rectify. She alone makes this watchableIf it weren't for Abigail Spencer, I wouldn't have bothered, but I fell hopelessly in love with her in Rectify. She alone makes this watchable and it plays like an episodic version of Bad Night at the El Royal (which I did not care for). Good show to fill a hole.… Full Review »
