South Africa’s Kevin Anderson is looking to win his first grand slam major if he emerges as the victor from today’s 2018 Wimbledon final –but his opponent, Novak Djokovic, has won plenty of titles already.

Part 2. Amy Adams continues to shine, and smolder, as the sullen central character of this morose murder mystery. In these first three hours, especially, the images shown fleetingly by director Jean-Marc Vallee accrue additional meaning with each exposure – so stay with Sharp Objects, and the many things haunting Adams’ character will become increasingly clear.

Last week’s boardroom showdown turned out to be a bloodbath, and many members of Logan’s immediate family were among the victims. But Logan (Brian Cox), for now, remains not only standing… but powerful. And, needless to say, vengeful.
