10 Directors Who Could Revitalise The Wizarding World
The Wizarding World franchise should be one of the jewels in Warner Brothers’ crown.

Succession Season Three Post-Mortem
When I started the season three finale of Succession, I was disappointed.

The Flight Attendant (Spoiler-Free) Review
Upon finishing the second episode of HBO’s newest dramatic thriller, The Flight Attendant, I tweeted that the show was triggering my particular brand of lawyer anxiety, as the series’ protagonist Cassie (an excellent Kaley Cuoco) was ignoring the incredibly sound advice of her lawyer friend Annie (a perfectly cast Zosia Mamet) and making some seriously […]
