[This story contains spoilers through the fifth episode of Expats, “Central.”]
A show called Expats understandably focuses on the cosmopolitan lives of those privileged enough to make their fortunes abroad, and for most of the Amazon limited series’ six episodes, it does just that, following neighbors Margaret (Nicole Kidman) and Hilary (Sarayu Blue). The two wealthy women live in Hong Kong’s tony Victoria Peak neighborhood, as well as Mercy (Ji-young Yoo), the American drifter who complicates both of their lives. To recap: Mercy was tasked with watching Margaret’s two sons during a night market outing when the younger one disappeared. A year later, Gus is still missing, and Mercy is having an affair with Hilary’s husband, David (Jack Huston).
But the fifth episode drifts away from the trio of protagonists to focus on characters that have heretofore existed in the background, sometimes literally. “Central” (each episode of Expats is named after a geographically significant area in...

"There's no happy ending here." Netflix has launched the full official trailer for their Cowboy Bebop live-action series, based on the beloved Japanese anime series that originally aired in 1998. A ragtag crew of bounty hunters chases down the galaxy's most dangerous criminals. They'll save the world - for the right price. As different as they are deadly, Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) form a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. Along with their trusty pal Ein, a genetically-engineered Pembroke Welsh Corgi with human-like intelligence. But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them. The series also stars Alex Hassell and Elena Satine, with appearances by Molly Moriarty, Blessing Mokgohloa, Lucy Currey, and Rachel House. This space western series will debut with 10 episodes in the first season.

"Apologies, Nasir, but, seriously, can you really resist this sexy pirate grin?"
The body count grew in last week’s penultimate episode of the Starz drama Spartacus: War Of The Damned, but the good news is that our beloved Agron (Dan Feuerriegel) did not perish as we were lead to believe. Instead he came down off the cross (literally) and was reunited with love of his life, Nasir (Pana Hema Taylor).
Since we’ve already hit many emotional highs in these last episodes, creator Steven S. DeKnight is obviously not holding back and, having seen the last episode, I can promise he delivers a series finale worthy of the entire Spartacus franchise.
Part of what made the Nagron story so compelling this season was introduction of the strapping Castus (Blessing Mokgohloa). The sexy pirate made it clear early in the season that he had eyes for Nasir, he and didn...
