I am not really a big K-POP person, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the storyline of this one. The music was honestly way better than I expected, and I even ended up adding a couple of the songs to my playlist. I went into it thinking, “Okay, this is probably not my thing,” but…
Some shows fade from memory the minute the credits roll. Normal People isn’t one of them. Since Normal People is now back on Netflix, maybe they can convince BBC to finally do a second season like the audience has been wanting all along. Normal People really is one of those rare shows that deserves more recognition. It’s already got a…
I’m walking past the theatre district the other night, and I swear I thought I’d taken a wrong turn into an earlier age. Back to the Future in giant neon. Down the street The Lion King (again). Around the corner The Devil Wears Prada and right there in the middle? A whole pack of spotted dogs 101 Dalmatians and…
Something I spotted in The First Shadow might be the missing piece of the Season 5 puzzle. After seeing Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the theatre for the second time, I was amazed all over again but this time, I left with my brain spinning, trying to figure out what the elusive easter egg might be for the…
I don’t understand why British true crime documentaries lag so far behind their American counterparts. The storytelling always feels rushed, and you never really get to know the victim as a person. In this case, we don’t even get an explanation of how Louise Kam met her killers. Was it planned, random, casual? Did she…
I’m not the kind of person who can just pop one on Spotify while I’m on the train or a plane and zone out. I like to watch podcasts and actually take them in properly. I would still 100% classify that as entertainment. It’s just a different kind of experience when you’re watching the full conversation unfold,…
I think the critics have got this one wrong. The second season of Annika just landed on BBC iPlayer this week, and honestly, it’s perfectly watchable, more than that, it’s gripping, clever, and completely unique in how it’s told. What makes Annika a brilliant crime drama is its format. DI Annika Strandhed (played by Nicola Walker) breaks the fourth…
“This is the messiness of life, and as an annoyingly brilliant man once told me, these are the best bits.” Sofia Carson is on fire with romantic comedies this year, first The Life List, and now My Oxford Year. She has this girl-next-door charm that fits perfectly with these roles. You genuinely believe her as Anna, an…
Loch Ness is a gripping crime drama set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. While the show delivers strong suspense and an intriguing mystery, its pacing can feel a little too slow at times, which may test the patience of some viewers. The story kicks off when a dead body is discovered near…
Girl from the North Country premiered in 2017 and has now returned to the Old Vic Theatre, running until 23rd August. I wasn’t initially sure about going to this production my dad really wanted to see it but I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was somewhat confusing and not always cohesive, centering…
