Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet streamed at least the first episode of "The Bondsman" with an Amazon Prime subscription.
As his TV follow-up to Showtime’s heady crime drama "City on a Hill," Kevin Bacon returned to his more spooky roots for the new gore-speckled horror-comedy "The Bondsman." An absolute hoot from start to finish and unlike anything else on the 2025 TV schedule to date, this is definitely one of the week’s most watchable streaming debuts. But it does kick off on an extremely wild and unexpected note, with Bacon’s character Hub Halloran getting his throat sliced open. The gruesome turn of events is no dream sequence, either.
