When news broke that season four of Only Murders in the Building was going Hollywood – in that the characters would be spending some time in LA while a film version of season one of their podcast was produced, I was worried about what that meant for the series as a whole. After all, as […]

Pachinko Season Two Review
After a two-year hiatus, Pachinko, easily the best series currently airing on AppleTV+, has returned for its second season. And what a season it is. Everything that you loved about the gorgeous and emotionally challenging first season is back, only this time our knowledge of the characters and their histories – both personally and with […]
House of the Dragon – The Queen Who Ever Was Review
Tell me you blew your budget before getting to your season finale without telling me you blew your budget. Woof. After a season of managing to right the ship and get House of the Dragon onto a pretty darn solid storytelling path, we were gifted a season finale that – for the most part – […]
Batman: Caped Crusader Review
When it comes to DC superheroes, I’ll admit to not being super up to date on who’s who and what’s what (much to the dismay of my father, who is a massive DC fan – sorry Dad). But if there’s one DC hero I’ve followed pretty closely into his various incarnations on TV and film […]
House of the Dragon – The Red Sowing Review
On this week’s installment of How to Claim Your Dragon . . . err, I mean House of the Dragon, we were granted the long-awaited Dragonseed claiming competition, which saw two new dragon riders emerge from a fiery scene that also saw the demise of a host of Targaryen bastards. We were also treated to […]
House of the Dragon – Smallfolk Review
There have been two background storylines this season that have felt rather clunky in their lead up, but both finally started to pay dividends this week – just in time for each to heavily factor into the anticipated season endgame (which I won’t spoil, don’t worry, but if you’re a book reader, I suspect you’ve […]

The town is infamous for the disappearance of Amy Knightly 17 years prior. When Ember investigates an arson attack on the jetty it spirals into a case involving a pregnant […]
The Acolyte – The Acolyte Review
Oh Vernestra. You’re rapidly getting in over your head and if there’s a season two of The Acolyte, it’s an easy bet to make that all of your machinations are going to start unraveling faster than you can say Darth Plagueis. But, I have to say, even though much of the episode played out in […]
Sunny Season One Review
So, I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to Sunny, the new dark comedy (very dark comedy) on AppleTV+. I saw the basic premise – that would be woman is given a robot and it sends her on a journey to try and find her presumed dead husband and son – and […]
House of the Dragon – Regent Review
After last week’s explosive episode, this week’s House of the Dragon was far more concerned with setting the stage for the back half of the season. We checked in with every major player, took stock of where they were and what they were doing and what their next hurdle would be – and laid out […]
