It’s unavoidable that nothing going on in The Westies is anything you haven’t seen before. The battleground is Hell’s Kitchen of the 1980s; the players...

While it was obvious that Agent Kim Reactivated was going to change tone somewhat following Min-ji’s rescue, I never really considered what that might mean...

Got to be honest – this all feels a bit contrived to me? Based on the 2011 South Korean film Spellbound, Spooky in Love is...

Backrooms is one of those great ideas for a movie that doesn’t work as a fully-fledged feature. It’s an ideal horror concept, granted, which is...

There’s a do-it-yourself quality to Curry Barker’s horror hit Obsession that feels to me like it might represent the short-term future of the genre (especially...

The Odyssey is quite the journey. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic poem is an extraordinary movie, a bombastic, visually remarkable, thematically rich modernisation of...

Christopher Nolan does things big. And while it’s much too early to tell whether The Odyssey is the best movie of his already legendary catalogue,...

It was obvious that Manager Kim’s reunion with Min-ji was never going to be the end of Agent Kim Reactivated, and Episode 7 proves that...

Now is either the best or the worst time for a sincere and deeply empathetic drama about refugees, immigration, and the callous, self-serving disregard shown...

In many ways, the laughably silly ending of Netflix’s Desire is a very unconventional form of marriage counselling. Just cheat on your spouse with a...

I was going to open this review by wondering aloud why Netflix keeps commissioning movies like Desire, another in an increasingly long list of tawdry...

Sugar is the rare show that gets better the more it slows down. Season 2 has always had a thematic point to make, one about...

The title of Cape Fear Episode 8, “Los tiempos de Dios son Perfectos”, translates to “God’s timing is perfect”. And while I’m not sure who’s God in this...

For such a humourless show, Silo can be hilarious sometimes. Season 3 has been pretty sedate so far. Entertaining and mysterious, sure, but largely functional rather than...

Prime Video’s take on The Ghost in the Shell has gotten off to a solid start, with energetic pacing, great retro-futurist visuals, and solid action....

Prime Video’s take on The Ghost in the Shell continues to work on fleshing out its world in Episode 2, which means a couple of...

House of the Dragon is playing coy. Episode 4 of Season 3 included a scene where Aegon bumped into what appears to be the corpse...

I was a fan of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed from the very beginning. It had a distinct sense of style and comedy, Tatiana Maslany was great...

The good news is that Lucky is improved in Episode 2, “Make ‘Em Dance”. It divides its focus more evenly, spends more time with characters who...

Maybe it’s just me, but I expected Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed to end a bit more convincingly than this. Granted, I did imply that there wasn’t enough time...
