Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, “Into the Forest,” isn’t as dramatic as the previous episode, but the end feels like it’s creeping along.

Mother Mary watches as two friends reunite and reopen old wounds while ghosts of their past and present haunt them.

Akane-banashi Episode 4 sees Akane and Kyoji perform for an assisted living facility. Akane shows off all she has learned at the restaurant.

OPUS Prism Peak leaves a heavy, lasting impression thanks to beautiful environments and emotional storytelling.

I Swear may struggle with some biopic conventions but Robert Aramayo is so good that he’s worth the price of admission alone.

Saros nails the roguelike formula, captures unique combat, and is grounded in a story built on Rahul Kohli’s fantastic performance.

Apex is a mostly paint-by-numbers film with striking visuals, some creepy shots, good performances, and an incredibly unhinged serial killer.

Marriagetoxin Episode 3 is another entertaining episode that fantastically extends and highlights the anime’s cast while advancing the narrative.

Dorohedoro Season 2 Episode 6 sees clashes play out as En seeks out Nikaido and Fujita arrives looking for Ebisu, with bloody results.

Running Point Season 2 smoothly transitions the energy, tone, and toxic familial energies from its first season, for better or worse.
