Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest: Episode 4

House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4 is a meaty, schemey affair, and an installment that works particularly hard to move pieces around the board in interesting new combinations.

The first two episodes of the For All Mankind spin-off wind back the clock on the space race to watch it unfold from the Soviet perspective.

Seasoned Westeros watchers will see potential problems arising with each scene of this episode. Everywhere Rhaenyra turns there’s someone looking for a piece of her (rodent bites both literal and figurative). Any one of these requests could be key to her undoing, and it’s very clear that she’s navigating a dangerous path. From the impossibly cool pre-opening credits scene to Rhaenyra ultimately swearing to burn all who stand against her, this episode moves almost too fast to track; no wonder Rhaenyra dissociates as she sits on her uncomfortable throne.

Our Cape Fear Episode 5 review breaks down why "Faith" stalls out with mid-season-itis despite stellar acting and a wild, jaw-dropping ending.

In this week's House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra’s eyes are fixed on the throne – but her one-track focus may be causing her to miss things.
