Prime Video’s 2024 series, Snakes and Ladders, is an investigative drama about a robbery that goes wrong. It takes inspiration from Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five books, in which a group of children set out to investigate crimes. Unlike in those books, the children in this show are in serious trouble and are desperate to find their way out of it.

Who got robbed in the town of Rettamugadu?

Snakes and Ladders began with a group of preteen children: Gilbert, aka Gilli, Bala, Santosh, aka Sandy, and Iraiyan, aka Irai, who were well known for their antics in the town. Irai’s father was a police officer, and Raagitha, aka Raagi, was their friend in the town who was being homeschooled. She was living with her single mother, Revathy.

The Wives is a thriller series set on the beautiful island of Malta and focused on the Morgan family during a family vacation as Annabelle Morgan, who is the wife of Charlie Morgan (one of the four Morgan brothers), suddenly disappears during a party. Though no body is found, everyone assumes that she’s dead. This tragedy deeply affects the entire family, especially the three Morgan wives: Beth, Sylvie, and Natasha. Beth, in particular, struggles the most since she and Annabelle were really close. Fast forward a year, and we see things get even more complicated as Charlie has come to Malta for the summer with his new partner, Jade, which shocks everyone naturally; to think how he could move on so quickly. But the biggest mystery still is what really happened to Annabelle. Charlie and Jade’s behavior seems suspicious, and also Charlie and Annabelle’s daughter Sky begins...

As heartbreaking as the Season 3 finale of “Industry” may have been for fans seeking a Yasmin and Robert romance, Marisa Abela sees her character’s ending as “inevitable.”

“The way that Myha’la as Harper makes the most cutthroat choice in terms of the industry and what she’s preparing to do, Yasmin makes the most cutthroat choice in terms of her own life,” Abela told TheWrap of her character.

After building up a will-they, won’t-they between Yasmin and Robert for three seasons, the friends finally have sex in “Infinite Largesse.” Yet minutes after their tryst in the countryside, Yasmin goes back to Lumi CEO Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and accepts his proposal. It’s a decision that ultimately comes down to two different forms of security for Yasmin. Does she go with the man she loves, or the man whose wealth and reputation will allow the publicly disgraced Yasmin to re-enter high society?...

Sixty-two minutes into the Season Three finale of Industry, you might have mistakenly thought it was safe to exhale. HBO’s notoriously tense finance drama, which revolves around the exploits of employees at the fictional investment bank Pierpoint & Co., was giving us a rare moment of resolution for its key players: Crisis-ridden nepo baby Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela) got engaged to aristocrat Henry Muck (Kit Harington). College dropout Harper Stern (Myha’la) was having a #GirlBoss moment in Forbes magazine. Even so-called sad boy Rob Spearing (Harry Lawtey) was getting a fresh start in Silicon Valley.

In this week’s penultimate episode of Industry season 3, Pierpoint & Co. has to fight for its survival, as a quick change of fortune and a misdirection towards Esg investments leaves the bank on the brink of bankruptcy. Harper Stern, who had planned to make use of this situation to earn herself and her new partner, Petra Koenig, some serious money in the previous episode, ultimately ends up in trouble once again, just like at the end of Industry season 2. Meanwhile, Eric Tao’s ultimate betrayal against his close friend reminds us that both Eric and Harper are still the same characters as they were in last season, with their own individual benefits still their only concern.
