TV Review: NAUTILUS Episode 8, ‘The Tipping Point'
What's been missing so far in AMC's Nautilus ? Bugs and a mutiny. Well, that problem is swiftly taken care of in Episode 8, because the story has both. But there's more, and that's what makes this episode particularly memorable. While the previous episode was ridiculous amounts of fun, one of the best parts of it was the emotional story beats. 'The Tipping Point' capitalizes on that aspect of the storytelling. Nautilus, Episode 8, 'The Tipping Point' Like many of the Nautilus episodes before it, 'The Tipping Point' takes its title literally and figuratively. The sub is at a precipice, as is the state of the crew. The tension ratcheted up at the end of the previous episode when Captain Nemo (Shazad Latif) decided to prioritize his mission for revenge over the concerns of his crew. RELATED: Read our review of the previous Nautilus episode, 'Cold War' Well, that comes back to bite Nemo pretty hard in Nautilus, Episode 8, 'The Tipping Point.' Honestly, it's been a long time coming. Having a mission is fine, but when one starts lying to their crew, that's when the cracks in the dynamics begin to show. I'm not a fan of bugs, so the first part of the episode wasn't my favorite thing. Now, they try to make sure the camera doesn't focus too much on the bugs, but they're certainly freaky to look at. I thought the creepy critters in Episode 6 were horrid to look at. RELATED: SDCC 2025: Watch Outlander Season 8 Teaser and Blood of My Blood Sneak Peek Clips The bugs are a catalyst for what comes next. So, avert your eyes and wait for the best part of the episode. Altogether Now The highlight of Nautilus has been the supporting characters. Despite their curtailed screen time and minimal characterization, the actors have imbued their characters with so much personality. This episode explains why we've been out of the loop with who these people are. Nemo has been pigheaded throughout the show. He literally has main character syndrome. At some point, the rest of the crew was going to retaliate. That's what happens in this episode. And it turns out to be a heady mix of tension and emotion. Shazad Latif yet again wows with his emotive performance. Georgia Flood as Humility Lucas is very warm, and her earnestness is a good foil to Nemo's intensity. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Claudia But the scene stealers are the supporting cast. Céline Menville as Loti, Kayden Price as Blaster, Arlo Green as Turan, Tyrone Ngatai as Kai, Ling Cooper Tang as Suyin, Pacharo Mzembe as Boniface Adamu, and Ashan Kumar as Ranbir Lodhari get spotlight moments in this episode, and they give it their all. My one criticism is that the showrunners shouldn't have waited till Episode 8 to attempt the bonding moment among the crew. This should have come way earlier. RELATED: Read our Nautilus reviews With only two episodes left, this is as good a time as any to put differences aside and work together to defeat the Company. But how will the Nautilus crew fight a giant institution like that? Nautilus airs every Sunday on AMC and AMC+.

The Houthis want to punish Israel. Filipinos are bearing the cost.
Aboard the cargo ship MV Tutor last June, the coincidence of Philippine Independence Day and a crewmember's birthday meant a break for revelry. As on many such ships, the entire crew of 22 was from the Philippines. 'No work on deck,' Captain Christian Domrique, 40, told the sailors. The afternoon would be given to 'salo-salo,' a festive feast.
