Oh, were you hoping to find out the outcome of the various traffic collisions last week? Joke's on YOU because instead, we open this episode with the extremely badass Rose, who’s beginning her day at Sheffield Prison. Unfortunately for her, things are NOT GOOD. She returns from a shower to find her roommate Mystery Gal unconscious in bed, with a needle stuck in her arm. Thankfully, quick thinking Rose sends the guard for a defibrillator, but the panicked guard doesn’t actually know how to use it, which feels like a massive oversight (almost as much of an oversight as the guards not carrying naloxone, the drug that reverses opioid overdoses and would actually be pretty useful in this situation).

From stealing puppies to solving medical mysteries, Laurie has inhabited a wide range of wacky and mischievous characters. Here are my favorite Hugh Laurie roles.

From playing an iconic Shakespeare role to leading an action blockbuster to taking on parts in smaller independent films, here are some of Judi Dench’s best roles.

Now if you thought that episode 2 ended on a spicy note, you'd better gird your loins: Colonel H&D is out here in the semi-darkness of, presumably, Jersey (where, if Hamilton is to be believed, and assuming the original version has the same vibes as New Jersey, everything is legal) for a duel.

Marsha Thomason’s career is nothing if not expansive: her resume includes Lost, White Collar, American police procedurals and British dramas — even a…

The family Dashwood might be kickin’ it by the seaside in a relatively small town, but if you seriously thought an Austen Adaptation would happen without including a ball scene so the characters can flirt/aggressively pine at each other, I don’t know what to tell you. And balls aren’t just for dancing and romance: you can also confront your romantic rival!
