HARLAN COBEN’S ‘RUN AWAY’ REVIEW: DARK THEMES AND A WORTHWHILE SLOW BURN

Posted on January 2, 2026 by Nyah Barnett

Run Away is a slow burner and honestly, it needs to be. This isn’t the kind of story you rush, because every layer is there for a reason. At the centre of it all is Simon Greene (James Nesbitt), a successful, devoted husband and father of three whose solid, comfortable life starts to unravel when his…

DEATH IN PARADISE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL REVIEW: COMFORT TELEVISION DONE RIGHT

Posted on December 30, 2025December 30, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

The Death in Paradise Christmas special once again delivers a polished and reassuring piece of festive television. Rather than attempting to reinvent itself, the series leans into what it does best: a gentle murder mystery, strong ensemble chemistry, and a tone that prioritises warmth and accessibility. The episode also demonstrates how effectively the franchise now operates as…

WHY TV’S MOMENTUM ISN’T SLOWING DOWN IN 2026

Posted on December 29, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

I’ve got a really good feeling about 2026. And that’s saying something, because 2025 has been unbelievable one of those rare years where TV genuinely felt exciting again. Big titles landed, smaller shows broke through, and people actually talked about what they were watching. What’s surprised me most is that it doesn’t feel like it’s slowing down. If anything,…

WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A PARTIAL RETURN TO FORM FOR THE KNIVES OUT MYSTERY SERIES

Posted on December 17, 2025December 20, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

The first Knives Out movie was a perfect example of a murder mystery. The plot was tight, the acting exemplary and it felt like a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2019. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the second instalment, 2022’s Glass Onion which was an overblown vanity project with…

12 ANGRY MEN: THE FIRST AND STILL THE BEST COURTROOM DRAMA

Posted on December 8, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Released in 1957 this classic story of justice, dignity and the fight for what is right unbelievably won no oscars at that year’s ceremony. It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and sits comfortably in my all time top 10. There are no special effects, no grand sets and no over…

SEAN COMBS THE RECKONING: THE SORDID STORY THAT WONT GO AWAY

Posted on December 5, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

As I have said in previous articles during the trial of the Hip-Hop superstar Sean “Diddy” Combs, his conviction for soliciting prostitution could be seen as a let off considering his abusive treatment of women over a long period of time. So, you would think that no matter how aggrieved Combs was with the new…

MY LIST OF THE BEST AND WORST TV SHOWS THIS YEAR PLUS SOME HIDDEN GEMS

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

It’s that time of year again when I look back at my personal TV highs and lows and shout out a few favourites that might have slipped under the radar. It’s been a surprisingly strong year, with plenty of series giving films a proper run for their money. I’m sure I’ve missed many of your…

THE GRIM – A FAST, FUNNY, AND WONDERFULLY WEIRD NIGHT AT THE THEATRE

Posted on November 28, 2025November 28, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

The Grim is one of those plays that feels like a welcome throwback fast-talking, witty, and proudly chaotic, the sort of old-style theatre you don’t often see anymore. Set in London in 1964, it follows Shaun (Edmund Morris) and Robert, two undertakers trying to get through another uneventful morning in the East End. That calm day…

A MUST-WATCH RETURN: MISSING DEAD OR ALIVE SEASON 2

Posted on November 24, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

I loved the first season so much and was genuinely excited to watch the next series, which is out today. So far, I am already hooked. It’s intense, gripping, and it proves yet again just how important the work of these investigators is. This show doesn’t just highlight cases it highlights the emotional weight, the…

WILD CHERRY – A GLOSSY, GOSSIP GIRL MEETS MYSTERY DRAMA WITH BITE

Posted on November 23, 2025 by Nyah Barnett

Wild Cherry definitely gives off Gossip Girl vibes, but with a darker twist of Pretty Little Liars and a dash of Mean Girls and honestly, that cocktail makes it pretty addictive. Set in the exclusive, ultra-wealthy gated community of Richford Lake, the story revolves around two mothers Juliet (played by Eve Best) and Lorna (played by Carmen Ejogo) and their teenage daughters, Grace and…
