BRIDGERTON’S NEW SEASON, PART ONE: DESIRE, DISGUISE, AND THE COST OF BEING SEEN
Bridgerton is back, and this season arrives with intention. Yes, it’s sexy. Yes, the chemistry is undeniable. But beyond the fan frenzy and viral clips, part one of the new season feels like a story about visibility who gets to be seen, who remains hidden, and what it costs to want more. Compared to last season,…
FROM WIZARDING WORLDS TO BUS ROUTES: JOSH SHEA ON THE QUIET MAGIC OF FILMMAKING
Filmmaking often looks glamorous from the outside the finished frames, the festival screenings, the cinematic escape. But as director and actor Josh Shea reminds us, the reality is far more grounded. It’s early mornings before sunrise, coffee in hand, and a quiet moment of disbelief where you ask yourself, what are we actually doing? In this…
JUSTICE IN YOUR HANDS: THE JURY EXPERIENCE – AN IMMERSIVE COURTROOM CASE
The Jury Experience: An Immersive Courtroom Case, currently staged at the Shaw Theatre near King’s Cross, offers a theatrical experience that goes far beyond passive watching. From the moment you enter the space, you’re treated not as an audience member, but as a juror with real responsibility. Being asked to stand and take an oath…
AGATHA CHRISTIES’S “SEVEN DIALS”: PERIOD COSTUMES, POSH ACCENTS AND MURDER IN COUNTRY HOUSES. WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?
It seems that there is at least one Agatha Christie adaptation released every year, either at the cinema, streaming or on terrestrial TV and the popularity of the world famous murder mystery novelist, who died in 1976, shows no sign of waning. “Seven Dials” out now on Netflix does not try and invent the wheel….
TELL ME LIES SEASON 3 REVIEW: ADDICTIVE, DARK, AND STARTING TO FEEL FAMILIAR
Tell Me Lies season three is back on Disney Plus, and it’s darker, messier, and more toxic than ever. The first three episodes have dropped, and while the season remains addictive, it’s starting to feel familiar and I’m still not fully convinced where it’s headed. Some twists might be predictable, but the performances and tangled drama…
THE TRUTH IS NEVER NEUTRAL: HIS AND HERS REVIEW
“There are at least two sides of every story. Yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers, which means that someone is always lying … People might recognise my face; they maybe even know my name, but they will never know who I am.” That idea becomes the backbone of His and Hers, a thriller…
‘PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION’ REVIEW: SWEET, SPICY, AND FULL OF THAT TOP-TIER YEARNING
Movies this year have truly started out with a bang, and People We Meet on Vacation was easily one of my most anticipated films. I’m happy to say it really did deliver. From the opening moments, it felt like the kind of romance movie we don’t get enough of anymore. Originally a novel by Emily Henry, this…
‘LYNLEY’ – A SMART , UNDERRATED CRIME DRAMA THAT DESERVES BETTER
I loved this show, which is why the overwhelmingly harsh critical response feels so baffling. Big newspapers and TV review shows really need to broaden their horizons. Nearly every review I’ve read has given Lynley a poor rating, and while critics are free to disagree, some of the reasoning feels unnecessarily severe. I also didn’t realise until…
HARLAN COBEN’S ‘RUN AWAY’ REVIEW: DARK THEMES AND A WORTHWHILE SLOW BURN
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…
