TV Review: Gracepoint (1×08) – “Episode Eight”

“They got him back.” The Solano family was the heart of this week’s episode and, I’ll readily admit, they pulled on my heart strings. Maybe I’m just tired and vulnerable, but seeing Mark, Beth and Chloe try and work through…

TV Review: Gracepoint (1×07) – “Episode Seven”
