Aug 31, 2022 · It’s rare to accuse a Netflix thriller of being too ambitious but that’s the case with Babak Anvari ’s “I Came By,” a mostly effective potboiler that has the opposite problem of so many mini-series on the streaming service in that it has a TV season worth of ideas crammed into its runtime.

That's Sir Hector Blake. He was shipped away to board at Birlstone School as a junior. He later studied law and became a High Court judge, but recently retired after 30 years. He was regarded as a "saint," known for his "philanthropic work on behalf of refugees." He was involved in a prominent fictional case with Kazima Ajang in 2016, according to ...
Why is Blake drugging migrant workers and imprisoning at least one person in his basement? Much of his creepy conversation with Omid when he invites Omid over to his fancy house reveals his motivations.

"I thought I'd killed him, one summer when I came back from school. I pounced on him like a savage beast," Blake tells Omid. "Nearly destroyed his face." Toby discovers a photograph of Ravi with the side of his head looking bloodied, apparently the aftermath of this attack. We never hear the end of the story, so it's understandable to connect the d...
After Omid manages to escape Blake's house despite being drugged, Blake essentially blackmails Omid into getting in his car, warning he has the power to either stop or expedite his application for permanent settlement in the UK. We later see Blake in his basement, holding Omid's phone, which has a smear of blood on it. Omid can be heard banging on ...
A literal "I came by" graffiti tag is left on the wall in Blake's house after he's captured. Sadly, it isn't Toby who's able to give his final triumphant stamp. He never gets to show his mother Elisabeth and the world that he really did care about big issues (although, maybe Elisabeth understood once she, too, saw Blake's true self). Instead, it's ...
