Paul and Caroline Daley review TV - Handmaid's Tale | The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel | This Is US | Westworld | Stranger Things

The best episode of the season so far. That's what I said on Twitter after it aired, and I stand by that assessment. A leader arrested, a major reveal and a major character death. Normally, a house-fire would qualify as a show's major action-piece, but not so for Colony. That's just a set up for something better to actually happen.

Look at our Facebook page for additional fact-finding related to the show.

Let's review:

Will - Continues to be too good at his job, but suffers from a woman-shaped blind spot.

Katie - Is a bad liar and ok with arson in small, manageable quantities.

Bram - is grounded.

Beau - Did a -little- police work this week.

Phyliss - Don't get too attached...

Will can't stop tightening the noose, which his own wife has tied for him, around his neck. An eleven month layoff from his career in law enforcement did little to put Will Bowman off his game when he sets his mind to it and his tenacity might get him killed. Is that any way to complement a job well done?

Katie assists on her first real action for the Resistance and witnesses the true horror of what her choice may bring her as a team member is killed in front of her.

She also gets to open the Yonk this week. So, it's not all bad for Katie.

The second episode of USA's new show Colony started to widen out what we know about the show's mythology and introduced a very "gray" way to ease Josh Holloway's Will Bowman into his new life as a collaborator. Is it still collaborating when your own personal ambitions align with the occupation's?

We're also left with a lot of questions concerning Katie's (Callies) motivations. Is she truly riding the line between supportive collaborator's wife and up-and-coming resistance agent? Or is it possible she's really pumping Will for info and recklessly (or even calculatedly) put Will directly in harm's way? There's not enough to go on yet, but this episode definitely presents evidence on the matter.

Plus, we get to see Josh Holloway walk a balance beam.

We've been looking forward to this one for a while. Carlton Cuse has been very active in the since LOST ended with The Bates Motel and The Strain, but this is the first series of his that jumped out to us. It doesn't hurt that we've had a little layoff in active programming since The Leftovers finale either.

The series gets off to a very fast start and throws the main characters, Will and Katie, played by Josh Holloway (Sawyer from LOST) and Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori from The Walking Dead), into the thick of a plot that should make for some great TV. In the podcast we discuss everything in our usual scene by scene style and try to sort out just how this show is going to work. Right away the characters are going to be headed in very different directions and their motivations are not 100% clear. Do we think this is a strong start? Listen to find out!

Phew! That was some finale last night! (Your part is to pretend that the finale was last night and not a week ago.) We at Daley Review try to deliver a unique podcasting experience for fans of the shows we have in common. We also have about 17 major projects going on, including a complete remodel of our podcasting studio. Something had to give and this week, it was the podcast. Fret not! We will take you back in time and help you re-live the finale and make it feel like you're watching it for the first time, all over again. We will also have some comments in the podcast that were made before HBO renewed the show. We're all learning to live with inconveniences here.

No picture this week. Instead, check out this location and see if it seems familiar. If not, try picturing an airstream trailer parked on it.

With this episode almost everything has fallen in to place except: How does it end? This is quite a build up, isn't it? I was fooled into thinking another Departure had taken place, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This Meg / Tom -centric episode answers almost every question we have about the second season of this excellent TV show. The girl's naked cross country team is still is puzzler for us at the Daley Review, but we have a hunch. Anyway, now with this podcast we are all caught up and ready for tomorrow night's finale. If you see Damon Lindelof, tell him it's his own fault that our expectations are super, mega high. This season has been SO good.
