Netflix's Monster returned with the one subject in four seasons that a jury acquitted
Ian Brennan's anthology has spent four seasons on men the courts convicted. This one is about a woman a jury let go in 1893 — and the show's own synopsis says she did it anyway. The first reviews arrived an hour apart and could not agree on what they had watched.

Who is Kat in MobLand? Janet McTeer's power broker whose single phone call halts a cartel execution
MobLand spent seven episodes convincing me the Harrigans were the apex predators of London — Pierce Brosnan glowering, Helen Mirren scheming, Tom Hardy's Harry Da Souza fixing everything short of the weather. Then episode 7, "The Crossroads," happened, and the show casually revealed that all of these terrifying people are, on the global org chart, middle management.
