The interesting thing about a show like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that it isn’t concerned with an ever-longer list of characters. We have our two central characters – Dunk and Egg – and then the rest of the folks at the tourney. Now, some of those folk – including the ones we […]

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – A Hedge Knight Review
The latest Game of Thrones spin-off has made its way to HBO. And it’s something quite different than fans of the bloody, violent, and overstuffed series might expect. It’s rare that I ended an episode of Thrones or House of the Dragon thinking, “Oh, what a lovely episode!” But watching the pilot of A Knight […]
Heated Rivalry Review
Note: This review contains spoilers for season one of Heated Rivalry. I have to state up front that I am decidedly not the target audience for Heated Rivalry. While I love to support LGBTQ+ representation on television (as a member of the lesbian section of that acronym), a gay hockey romance is not something I […]
Hijack Season Two Review
The first season of Hijack, the AppleTV thriller starring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator stuck on a hijacked plane – where his family on the ground is also placed in danger to help ensure his compliance with the hijackers – wasn’t anything particularly special. Certainly not special enough to warrant a second season – […]
Corriedale Review
Corriedale is already considered one of the biggest soap events of 2026, which is remarkable considering the year has only just started. The crossover sees ITV’s big soaps come together for the first time. A massive car accident happens on a stretch of road in the Yorkshire Dales. This event happens due to loads of […]
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Review
Despite what you might have heard or deduced from that truly unfortunate poster Paramount released late last year, I’m here to tell you that Starfleet Academy is not a bad show. It’s also not a good show. It’s actually a very frustrating show with some serious tonal issues, particularly in early episodes. But when it’s […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 3]
In the last part of this series, I focused on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…, and A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof, and films like Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 4. There […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 2]
In my last part of this series, I talked about LGBTQ+ representation in animation in 2025, from January to mid-April. This post will cover from mid-April to mid-September, focusing on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, You and Idol Pretty Cure, and A […]
The Reckless AI Boom
AI, it’s impossible to escape the word if you follow the news. It’s the technology that’s revolutionising the economy, causing a stock market boom, and is set to replace workers. There have been products like ChatGPT, Sora, and Midjourney released, and most tech companies have developed some sort of AI product. However, the technology has […]
Stranger Things – The Rightside Up Review
For a series that riffed a whole heck of a lot on 80s films, Stranger Things, in the end, opted to mirror a more recent film in its actual ending – offering a host of mini-endings a la The Return of the King (which, of course, starred the dearly departed Bob – Sean Astin). And boy, […]
