Fortunately (and wisely), the writer’s focused most of their efforts on the characters as they wound through to the final season (ten episodes worth), which I respected greatly.

With enemies rising up to destroy him, including newspaper baron, Lord Wynnstay (Robert Pugh), it’s only a matter of time before Harry’s foolishness catches up to him. Continue Reading ➔
