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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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…
BROADCHURCH: THE CRIME DRAMA I CAN’T STOP COMING BACK TO
The first time I watched Broadchurch, I was instantly hooked. You know that feeling when you tell yourself, “I’ll just watch one episode,” and suddenly you’re five deep and emotionally wrecked? That was me. So when I found out the show was coming to Netflix, I didn’t even hesitate I knew I had to watch it…
THE CARMEN FAMILY DEATHS: AUTISM, SUSPICION, AND A TRUE CRIME MYSTERY”
Does having autism make someone more or less likely to become a killer? It’s an uncomfortable question, yet it sits at the heart of this undeniably tragic yet often frustrating documentary. The film never quite knows whether it wants to explore the mystery of a family’s demise or the complexities of neurodivergence, and that tension…
