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,…
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…
Netflix has built a formidable reputation for true-crime documentaries that linger in the public consciousness long after the credits roll, and its output continues to outshine much of the competition. Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart, arriving at the start of 2026, is another unsettling but ultimately inspiring addition to that catalogue. The documentary revisits the horrific events of…
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….
“Just because a man is an ally doesn’t mean that he is on your side.” I didn’t know much about the Nuremberg Trials that began in 1945, so this film turned out to be a genuinely insightful watch. I’ve always enjoyed war films, especially in recent years. Darkest Hour and 1917 were both brilliant and I’d comfortably add…
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…
“It really was an adventure of a lifetime.” Those are the final words spoken in One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, and they land with the kind of weight only a decade-long journey can earn. I started watching Stranger Things when I was 15 years old. Now I’m 25, and like the cast who grew…
“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…
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…
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…
