Episode notes
Succession Drama Over New Revelations
- Dynasty focuses tightly on the Murdoch succession drama rather than revealing new facts about Rupert Murdoch's life.
- Tamar Munch notes the four-episode series leans on archive footage and commentary, leaving viewers feeling outside the inner family decisions.
No Murdoch Voices Makes It Feel Distant
- The series lacks primary interviews with the Murdoch family, relying on journalists and commentators instead.
- Tamar says this arm's-length approach makes viewers feel removed, as if they're outside the room where decisions were made.
Pasha's Quiet Filming Exposed School Propaganda
- Mr Nobody Against Putin follows Pavel "Pasha" Telinkin, a Russian school AV and events staffer who films the creeping propaganda in his school after the 2022 invasion.
- Tamar recounts how state directives forced scripted lessons and staged recordings, and Pasha later left Russia and went into hiding.
