New on HBO Max

Weapons

The town of Maybrook is torn apart by the mystery of what happened to a group of kids from the same third-grade class who rose simultaneously in the dark and vanished without a trace.

Key inquiries with an elaborate mystery are always whether that narrative momentum can be sustained, and whether the journey is ultimately worthwhile. Fundamentally, Weapons pays off big time. When the conclusion unfolds, it feels expected but innovative, ideally structured to refute potential criticisms of disappointment. Once the frights fade, there are some lingering questions about the exact reasons the narrative used a multiple-POV ensemble approach.
