TV Review: NAUTILUS Episode 3, ‘What Lies Beneath'
When last we left Nautilus , the submarine's crew was hiding from the East India Mercantile Company … at the bottom of the ocean. But something else had taken notice of them, and it didn't sound friendly. Get ready for some old-fashioned gimmicks, adventures, and twists in the third outing of Nautilus . Nautilus, Episode 3, 'What Lies Beneath' The Nautilus is in dire straits in the third episode. They're fast running out of rations and have to surface. And they do, into the welcoming arms of Rajah (Richard E. Grant). Rajah runs a tight ship on his palatial grounds, surrounded by a litany of servants and armed guards, almost all of whom are made up of local residents. What could possibly go wrong? RELATED: TV Review: Nautilus Premiere The title of the episode, 'What Lies Beneath,' has a few meanings here. We find the Nautilus literally uncovering something new at the bottom of the ocean. But we also peel back the layers of Nemo's (Shazad Latif) backstory and meet the newest character, Richard E. Grant's Rajah. Raja means king in Hindi. I'm intrigued by the spelling choice — I haven't seen 'Rajah' used in a long time. But then again, there are a few spelling choices that confuse me. Nemo was locked up in Kalpani, but I'm pretty sure the name of the place is supposed to be Kalapani. I'm hardly an expert in history or geography, so I'm going to let these anachronisms go. For now. Rajah Richard E. Grant is, once again, a delight. I don't know how he does it. Every time I scoff at his inclusion — not because I dislike him, but because the entertainment industry can be so insular and keep casting the same people over and over — he steals the show. RELATED: Read our Interview with the Vampire recaps Grant has a particular way of delivering his dialogue, and it never gets old. He's easily beguiling, like an elderly uncle with one's best interests at heart. But you just know there's something else up this guy's sleeve. Rajah knows a lot about a lot, but the layers don't unfurl till later. Grant keeps the audience on their toes. Despite my initial skepticism, he's a great choice for the role of the Rajah. I am looking forward to seeing more of him on the show. RELATED: Movie Review: Sinners Also, stellar pronunciation of 'Bundelkhand.' Kudos for not butchering that, Mr. Grant. Nemo's Backstory We'd seen flashes of Nemo's backstory in the two-episode premiere of Nautilus . Not enough to tell us much, but enough for us to gauge that he'd faced some tragedies. We learn more about Nemo's history in 'What Lies Beneath.' RELATED: Yellowjackets Lets Women Be Angry Readers of the Jules Verne books, especially The Mysterious Island , will be especially delighted by this episode, which leans heavily into the source material. But there are more revelations still, some of which are truly shocking to the viewer and Nemo. Can we believe this news, though? Nemo and Humility Lucas (Georgia Flood) also continue to spar with each other. I've already warmed to these two and their banter. I can guess where their relationship is headed, but I'm going to wait and see what the show does. So Old-Fashioned, Yet So Fun I can't believe how much I'm enjoying Nautilus . I tend to go into everything with a heap of trepidation, and I wasn't expecting much out of a show that landed in my inbox with nary any fanfare. But Nautilus is so fun while being devastatingly dark as well. RELATED: AMC's Anne Rice's Immortal Universe Talamasca Series Casts Its Lead The show is like one of those old-timey swashbucklers — with guns instead of swords. Good guys versus obvious bads; the underdog versus the big corporation. The fun adventures are balanced with a reality check. This episode was particularly humorous, which buoys the viewer during some of the tragic revelations. Resident Nautilus funny man, Jagadish (Chum Ehelepola), gets the spotlight here and commands it. RELATED: 6 Book Recommendations if You Love Our Flag Means Death And the cliffhangers. This show really knows how to leave you desperate for more. I can't wait for the next episode.

Patrick Mahomes Says Goodbye to His 'Dad Bod' as He Showcases His Off-Season Abs During Miami Boat Party with Wife Brittany
Patrick Mahomes showcased his off-season abs as he and wife Brittany Mahomes celebrated the Fourth of July on a boat in Miami with friends In a series of photos shared on Instagram by Brittany, the couple can be seen posing side-by-side as they stood on the deck of the boat in their swimsuits "Had the best time with my peeps," Brittany wrotePatrick Mahomes showcased his off-season abs as he and wife Brittany Mahomes celebrated the Fourth of July on a boat in Miami with some friends. On Sunday, July 6, Brittany shared a series of photos on Instagram, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the sun-filled festivities. In one picture, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the Kansas City Current co-owner, both 29, could be seen posing side-by-side as they stood on the deck of the boat in their swimsuits with the Miami skyline behind them. In a nod to the patriotic holiday, Brittany wore a blue one-piece suit with lacing on the sides, topped with a sheer white button-down shirt featuring a red and blue star print. Patrick, who was shirtless, showed off his physique in dark blue swim shorts and a pair of red sunglasses. In another shot, the athlete kisses his wife on the head, and an additional photo — shared on Instagram by Brittany's friend Cassidy Greinert — shows Patrick standing front and center with his wife and several other couples.

In yet another snap included in Brittany's carousel, the mom of three and several of her friends sport red-and-white "1995" hats, seemingly referring to the year they were born. "Red, White & Y'all 🤍❤️💙," Brittany captioned her Instagram post, adding on her Instagram Stories: "Had the best time with my peeps." Patrick has been candid about his physical fitness throughout his career, even joking about having a "dad bod" in the past. Last year, the quarterback reacted to a still from the series Inside the NFL from the Chiefs' locker room celebrations after their AFC Championship win. The image showed a shirtless Patrick giving his teammates a pep talk after they secured their spot in the upcoming Super Bowl. "Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!?" Patrick wrote in a post on X, adding three laughing emojis and the hashtag, "#DadBodSzn." Quoting his own post on the app, he added, "Like I got kids!!!" 'I definitely have the dad bod a little bit...' he later admitted in a cover story for the 2024 TIME100 Most Influential People list. 'I'll also say, I have a great body for a quarterback.' He further explained, 'You've got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take.' Patrick's trainer Bobby Stroupe also previously spoke to PEOPLE about the jokes surrounding the Super Bowl champ's 'dad bod,' but said at the time that the NFL star was in perfect shape for his position. 'I'll be the first to tell you that I think an NFL quarterback should have at least 14% body fat,' Stroupe said. 'It's not from an unhealthy standpoint, but from a force absorption standpoint. You have to be able to take contact.' 'We know there's just not a lot of quarterbacks in the Hall of Fame that have a six-pack and there's a reason for that. We've got to find that fine line of performance and health. And the aesthetic part is a different conversation,' the trainer continued. 'I don't need him to look like a model because the way he chooses to play requires a certain type of physicality, and that physicality needs more body fat. That is a core belief that I do have for him.' Read the original article on People
