We don’t bail lightly. But “High and Low” lost us—here’s the craft autopsy: the wall-to-wall score that smothers tension, performances that never get oxygen, and what great thrillers do differently.
Then the pivot: The Terminal List S2: Dark Wolf. Kitsch leads, Pratt supports, and the world feels lived-in—specificity without the cringe. Tone, stakes, and detail that sells reality.
We close on music that makes scenes (Williams vs. Zimmer), comfort-TV palate cleansers, and why Austin Butler’s turn in “Caught Stealing” finally shook off the Elvis echo.
