Following an uneven third season (albeit one that saw the series get some long-overdue Emmy recognition), Slow Horses is back for a fourth season. And I’m happy to report that this one is much less bloody and violent and, on the whole, a much stronger story (even if some of the central mystery feels a […]
Blink Twice Review

The Rings of Power – Episodes 1-3 Review
Listen, I know it will ultimately result in death and destruction throughout Middle Earth, but you really can see how tempting Sauron’s pitch to Celebrimbor was, right? Especially if one doesn’t know one is currently part of an epic saga entitled The Lord of the Rings where your actions spark an epic conflict. All I’m […]

Pitch Time: His Dark Materials Film Trilogy
Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy is one of my favourite book series and as a wannabe filmmaker, adapting the trilogy would be one of my dream projects. So, I will propose how I would envision His Dark Materials as a film trilogy. Northern Lights (or The Golden Compass in America) was originally published in […]

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 […]
