A Walt Disney Picture, Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Directed by Thomas Kail. ‘Hamilton’ is arguably the biggest cultural phenomenon of the 21st century, and yet due to its insane popularity and high ticket prices, much of the world is still yet to see it, but that all changes now.

Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II (2020) – TV Review
This six part documentary looks at the behind the scenes making of the biggest animated film of all time, ‘Frozen II’. However, unlike Disney Plus’ other behind the scenes series ‘Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian’ this is a proper documentary that tracks all the members of cast and crew from start to end of this project, …

Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian (2020) – TV Review
This behind scenes look at the making of ‘The Mandalorian’ is interesting and adds great context to what we have seen. I wish more shows like this accompanied the release of big content, but the series themselves can’t act as events. One thing I would definitely say is that while the weekly release format worked …

The Simpsons Season 6 (1994) – TV Review
Everyone has their own opinion on this (and I won’t make the statement that this is THE best of the show until I have finished the rewatch) but this season of ‘The Simpsons’ is one of the best seasons of TV you could possibly hope to find. The variety in genres and focus between the …
The Simpsons Season 5 (1993) – TV Review

The Simpsons Season 4 (1992) – TV Review
The Simpsons Season 4 is an incredibly confident and well rounded season of comedy, that is willing to take risks and explore stories it previously wouldn’t have been able to. While I don’t think it is necessarily the shows best season, overall it is the perfect example of the groundbreaking and all encompassing appeal that …
The Simpsons Season 3 (1991) – TV Review
In my opinion, this is the season where ‘the golden years’ of ‘The Simpsons’ begin. It is a season packed full of unique and fresh episodes, hilarious scenarios, and excellent voice work. The things that start here and will progress through the next decade of the show go on to define many elements of pop …
The Simpsons Season 2 (1990) – TV Review
As the UK lockdown continues, for an indefinite amount of time, I am gradually continuing working through ‘The Simpsons’ on Disney Plus. Season 2 is a definite improvement on the first season, with the things we know and love about the show really starting to take shape, even if the season as a whole is …
The Simpsons (1989) – TV Review
Following Disney+ finally releasing in the UK, and the fact that the world is currently in essentially a lockdown, I thought this would be a good opportunity to gradually rewatch the entire ‘The Simpsons’, starting here with Season 1. ‘The Simpsons’ is arguably the most worldwide recognisable TV show of all time, and it has …
