I realize many of you may be asking what this has to do with zombies, but hear me out....

Are you one of those bold, fearless, slightly masochistic Dark Souls veterans who has seen everything the games have to offer? Well, perhaps not.

This review contains spoilers after the squirrel. 12.2 Spyfall Part Two Not that anyone was likely to have forgotten in the past four days, but the first half of Spyfall, the ambitious two-parter that kicked off the Doctor’s latest run of adventures, was a pacey, large-scale spy homage that delivered a lot of action set-pieces and many lingering questions – not to mention one explosive revelation at the end. There was a lot to be answered this time around, and by and large, the episode does a good job of wrapping everything up, although one of its two plot threads outshines the other and delivers the lion’s share of the drama....
