There’s a popular Kierkegaard quote about how life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards, and this popped into my mind during Episodes 3 & 4 of Heavenly Ever After.

The concept of heaven is in itself a cliché. Think angels playing harps on clouds, tearful reunions with your loved ones who haven’t aged a day, family pets frolicking through fields – you get the idea.

If you squint a little bit, it’s kind of beautiful. Daredevil: Born Again is only vaguely what one would consider a comic book show, the...

A lot happens in Episode 8 of Daredevil: Born Again; people die, there's a prison break, a swanky ball, and the truth, finally, about what happened to Foggy Nelson is revealed.

As with any Netflix series, particularly one of its surprisingly good video game adaptations, the ending of Devil May Cry has two distinct purposes. Yes,...

At first blush, Capcom’s long-running action series Devil May Cry isn’t ideal fodder for a television adaptation. The exaggerated action is there, of course, complete...

After a banger double-bill, it’s easy to consider Episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again a bit of a step down.

The last ten minutes of “Excessive Force”, in particular, felt like everything long-time fans of the Netflix shows want from these characters.

It turns out I’m in the minority here, but I genuinely thought Episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again was one of the best episodes of Daredevil ever.

It’s sometimes easy to forget that Matt Murdock is a lawyer since most of the justice he dispenses comes via his fists.

Let me just be clear out of the gate. Yes, they did it. Daredevil: Born Again is like the Netflix shows, which is worth mentioning...

Let’s be frank here – the ending of Mayfair Witches Season 2 is a mess. It’s full of action, deaths, twists, and moral ambiguities, and...

Nobody really likes other people’s weddings, but it turns out a Scottish pagan witch wedding is quite a thing.

There’s a lot going on in Episodes 9 & 10 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which is to be expected. “Hero or Menace” and “If...

A relatively big deal was made of Rowan, Moira, Cortland, and Lark making their way to Scotland for what one assumes will be a confrontation with Ian Mayfair and the rest of the pagan side of the family.

The classic line that has always summed up Peter Parker’s life is reworked in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, but Episodes 6, 7, and 8 nonetheless...

Netflix’s animated spin-off The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is based on one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s most beloved short stories, “A Little Sacrifice”, from the...

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is mostly fine, from a casual point of view, but it also serves as a reminder that Netflix don’t...

It was obvious from the double-bill premiere that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was a pretty good show, but Episodes 3, 4, & 5 really make it clear.

I’ve been a vocal critic of Mayfair Witches Season 2 and, to be fair, I still think it’s a bit rubbish. But Episode 5, “The Thrall”, was okay!
