In its limited screentime thus far, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has done a pretty remarkable job of communicating a much more hopeful tone than you’d necessarily expect from a show set in the same brutal universe as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. The big reveal of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally arrives in Episode 3, "The Squire", and it's about time, too, since virtually everyone watching the show will have figured it out already.

Wonder Man is proudly disconnected from the broader MCU, but make no mistake about it – this is set in the same universe as the...

As if it wasn’t obvious that Wonder Man isn’t your typical MCU show, the ending should make it pretty clear. No mid-credits tease? No proper...

What if a Marvel series had none of the things that people have come to expect from a Marvel series? Before Wonder Man, that didn’t...

If we're being honest, there isn't a great deal going on in Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's one of those classic, early-season "getting to know you" outings, making necessary introductions and setting things up for later.

It’s difficult to tell whether A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is for Game of Thrones fans who are still smarting about how badly it...

Let's be totally clear here -- despite being set in the same brutal universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms really is nothing like Game of Thrones. And that's a good thing!

Ending a series isn’t an easy thing to do, and ending a series like Stranger Things is almost impossible. Originally conceived as a one-off, the...

I’ve realised against my better – and indeed professional – judgement that I’ll forgive Stranger Things for just about anything, so long as the core...

This is it. The last big brainstorming session before the bumper finale. The last chance for every character to get a few things off their...

Let me be the one to say it. Given how long it has taken to bring Stranger Things Season 5 to life, and how much money has been spent on the endeavour, there is absolutely zero justification for Episode 6 looking as bad as it does.

The first volume of Stranger Things Season 5 ended in such a big, satisfying, and social media-savvy way that it was basically impossible that Episode 5, the premiere of Volume 2, was going to live up to it.

There are two constants in Stephen King’s work: Fear and evil. Both are eternal. The very idea of Pennywise – or “The Entity”, or simply...

Whenever people think of It, they invariably think of a scary dancing clown, but if Welcome to Derry is proving anything, it’s that Pennywise is the least of Derry’s problems.

Troll was extremely popular for Netflix, which means the entire franchise is now cursed. You can tell from the ending of Troll 2, which seems...

Troll 2 is so-called because it’s the sequel to Roar Uthaug’s surprise kaiju comedy Troll, which became a mega-hit on Netflix when it was released...

I was going to start this recap by saying that things aren’t looking too good in It: Welcome to Derry, but now that I think about it, that’s only a matter of perspective.

Stranger Things is synonymous with Netflix. It has been the crown jewel in the streamer’s offerings since it debuted in 2016, and has surely turned...

Let me be the first to say that I’m no fan of Netflix releasing its big shows in volumes. Splitting up a season kills a...
