Damien Chazelle is arguably the most ‘exciting’ and respected young director in Hollywood, as he has already delivered multiple critical darling films and won multiple Oscars for both himself and his cast/crew, so it is always going to be a big deal when he comes to Netflix to do a series. However, after watching the …

NCIS Season 17 (2019) – TV Review
NCIS is now one of the longest running shows on TV, and it remains one of the ‘biggest’ in the world, despite almost no social media presence. It has a audience that it caters to, and over the years, they have perfected the formula. While the show lacks the drama and comedy of the early …
Veep Season 6 (2017) – TV Review
During the extra time at home provided by the lockdown, I have been using it to watch some shows I hadn’t previously got around to watching before, and the one that has been the stand out, is ‘Veep’. It is the most genuinely laugh out loud funny, controversial, offensive, and brilliant written comedy I have …
Mrs. Fletcher (2019) – TV Review
This mini-series focusing on the complicated lives (and specifically sex lives) of a single mother, and her teenage son, once he leaves home for college, went under the radar last year but is one of the best shows of last year. Kathryn Hahn is a consistently impressive and risk taking actress, and I don’t think …
Charlie Brooker’s Antiviral Wipe (2020) – TV Review
We are only into the fifth month of 2020, but it already feels like the longest and most significant year of most of our lifetimes, and their is only one man who can sum it up perfectly, and that is writer of ‘Black Mirror’ and former star of ‘Weekly Wipe’, Charlie Brooker.

Dead To Me Season 2 (2020) – TV Review
Netflix is packed full of content, much of it entertaining, and therefore some great content can be slightly overlooked, and I really feel this is one of them. While it doesn’t quite match the heights of the first season, ‘Dead To Me’ season 2 is still a throughly entertaining and well made piece of TV, …
Code 404 (2020) – TV Review
Sky One’s new detective comedy, with a Sci-Fi twist, is a solid hit that replies heavily on the talent of its leading men, and they are able to deliver. Stephen Graham is now well established as one of British TV’s finest character actors and has starred in some of the best dramas of recent years, …
Most Dangerous Game (2020) – TV Review
Quibi is seeming more and more like a financial venture that won’t work out, and while that isn’t a great tragedy as I’m not a great fan of the ‘phone only’ streaming service, I am still making the most of my 3 month free trial to watch all of the TV shows on the service …
Brassic Season 2 (2020) – TV Review
The first season of ‘Brassic’ was a surprise smash hit for Sky last year, and following this successful follow up, it is now one of the channel’s flagship shows, and is likely to run for many years. Joseph Gilgun stars as Vinnie, the leader of a group of working class, odd ball thieves. While we …
Killing Eve Season 3 – Are You From Pinner? (Reaction)
Killing Eve has always been about the complicated sexual/murderous relationship between two women; Eve Polastri and Villanelle, and in episode 5 of each season so far the two have had memorable meetings. However, in a smart decision to freshen things up, episode 5 of season 3 is the shows first episode not to feature both …
