JESSICA JONES, 2.6 & 2.7 – ‘AKA Facetime’ & ‘AKA I Want Your Cray Cray’
“AKA Facetime” Halfway through season one, Jessica Jones threw audiences for a loop with Kilgrave’s (David Tennant) creepy purchase of Jessica’s (Krysten Ritter) childhood home, and lover Luke Cage’s (Mike Colter) big realisation of her betrayal.

THE X-FILES, 11.10 – ‘My Struggle IV’
While nowhere near as shambolic as season 10’s finale, “My Struggle IV” was still a disappointing end to The X-Files — perhaps forever? Although without Gillian Anderson as Scully, one has to wonder what the point of making more would be, without overhauling it.
