A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Antonio Campos, Paulo Campos, Directed by Antonio Campos. Boasting arguably the best, and certainly the most fascinating, ensemble of the year, and therefore ‘The Devil All the Time’ was always destined to receive a lot of attention when it dropped on Netflix. However, this is certainly not a traditional […]

The Duchess (2020) – TV Review
In recent years, multiple female stand up comedians have finally been given the opportunities that were usual saved for their male counterparts and have been able to lead (and often create) their own TV shows. This time, the honour falls to Katherine Ryan, the constantly funny guest on many panel shows and a strong stand […]
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written and Directed by Charlie Kaufman. Anyone who has seen his previous work will know that Charlie Kaufman is an incredibly talented writer who since becoming a writer/director has delved even deeper into the human psyche and his work has grown increasingly inaccessible for general audiences. This continues even more than […]
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005) – TV Review
‘It’s Always Sunny’ is now the joint (and soon to be) longest running live action sitcom in American history, but if you had told me or anyone watching or involved in the show that this would be the case fifteen years after that first season, not one person would have believed you. The season is […]
Cursed (2020) – TV Review
Originally sold with the fascinating pitch of “what if the sword chose a queen” and promising a take on the Excalibur story from the perspective of The Lady of the Lake instead of King Arthur, it all sounded great. However, the final product is actually just some sort of prequel to the King Arthur story. […]

My 2020 Emmy Nomination Predictions
Tomorrow the nominations for the 2020 Emmy Awards will be officially announced ahead of the ceremony in September, and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the usual awards campaigns have not been run and therefore predictions are more difficult. However, I have given it a go here by using industry insight, Emmy history, and personal gut […]
Chewing Gum Season 2 (2017) – TV Review
Following on from the great reception to Season 1, with a show that felt so unique and fresh, meant Michaela Coel had a big challenge on her hands, but she took it in her stride and ran with. This second season is better than the first, even if only slightly, and it feels even more […]
Chewing Gum (2015) – TV Review
Michaela Coel recently set the world alight with her remarkable drama ‘I May Destroy You’ (my review of that coming tomorrow morning) but before that, she became hugely popular due to writing and starring in this Channel 4 comedy. This is a very different show as it doesn’t tackle some of the darker issues ‘I […]
The Old Guard (2020) – Review
A Netflix Original Picture, Written by Greg Rucka, Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. Netflix have absolutely conquered the TV space, and have produced a few really great movies, but on the whole, their films have been mostly misses. This is one I was really looking forward to and while I wasn’t disappointed, I also wasn’t thrilled. […]
