It's going to be a blood bath in the Two Rivers this week on The Wheel of Time. The penultimate episode of the third season of Prime Video's fantasy series premieres tomorrow, and it will bring a highly-anticipated part of Robert Jordan's book The Shadow Rising to the screen: the Battle of the Two Rivers, when Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford) leads the people of the idyllic Two Rivers into battle against an army of ferocious Trollocs. "Goldeneyes" is a moment fans have been waiting a long, long time to see.

The people of the Two Rivers won't stand alone, though. We're thrilled to reveal an exclusive clip from Episode 307, where the Aes Sedai Alanna (Priyanka Bose) and her Warder Maksim (Taylor Napier) help get the Two Rivers folk ready for battle. Check it out, then we'll discuss:

Marvel Television finally debuts the first trailer for its next Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again, starring Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Bucceri plays Faile Bashere, a Saldaen noblewoman who travels to Illian to pledge herself as a Hunter of the Horn. The character first...

Olga Kurylenko unleashes beast mode as a revered British warrior seeking bloody vengeance against ruthless Roman oppressors. Boudica: Queen of War falls short on exposition and character development but delivers a quasi-historical actioner with gruesome glee. Limbs are hacked off, entrails torn out, and more throats slit than a slaughterhouse before Thanksgiving. There's also a curious use of fantasy and mystical elements that don't quite deliver the intended impact. The story told had room for dramatic depth beyond the carnage. An opportunity was missed for a more engaging experience.

In 61 Ad, the Roman scholar Tacitus records the events that led to Britania's revolt. Roman legionaries massacre Druids who kneel before them on the island of Mona. They invoke the prophecy of a queen before their deaths. She will punish the conquerors for desecrating their lands. Meanwhile, King Prasutagus (Clive Standen) of the Celtic Iceni tribe lays in bed with his wife and two daughters.

If Claes Bang didn’t exist so suavely before our eyes, you’d say they don’t make movie stars like him any more: debonair, mature but with sparky wit, and possessed of a flexible accent that is at once evasive and distinctly European. Since breaking out aged 50 in Rubin Östlund’s “The Square,” he could have exclusively cashed in his raised profile on the kind of generically “foreign” villain parts and Europudding filler that tend to await such actors these days, yet he seems to be finding throwback vehicles to match his elegantly out-of-time stardom. First came the slippery, well-dressed art-scene noir “The Burnt Orange Heresy” and World War 2 counterfeiting drama “The Last Vermeer”; now, in a comparably neo-Hitchcockian vein, comes “The Bay of Silence,” in which his coolly compelling man-adrift charisma — backed by sturdy support from Olga Kurylenko and Brian Cox — keeps a splintering mystery together.
