Latest installment of ‘Mission: Impossible’ is easily predictable, but never dull
“Mission: Impossible—Fallout” released in the United States on July 27 to critical acclaim, but its biggest twist was also its least surprising. “Mission: Impossible” follows Ethan Hunt, the leader of a fictional intelligence agency called the Impossible Mission Force (IMF).

In a sinister, singular season, ‘Sharp Objects’ cuts deep
There will never be a second season of “Sharp Objects”—HBO president Casey Boyd confirmed as much a few weeks ago.
