Football is often seen as a game of wealth, fame, and security for its stars, but behind the glamour lies a darker reality. In the BBC documentary Football’s Financial Shame: The Story of the V11, former Premier League presenter Richard Lenton stepped into his first executive producer role to uncover one of the sport’s most shocking…

BORN WITH TEETH REVIEW – NCUTI GATWA AND EDWARD BLUEMEL ELECTRIFY THE WEST END
When you get two brilliant actors on stage, magic happens and Born With Teeth is exactly that kind of show. The chemistry is undeniable, and it doesn’t hurt that Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel already know each other from Sex Education. That natural familiarity just flows on stage, making the tension and banter between their characters sparkle. I…
VANISHED AT SEA: THE TROUBLING CASE OF SARM HESLOP
I’m honestly not sure if I liked this three-part true crime docuseries or not. On the one hand, it’s gripping, and you want answers. On the other, I came away with even more questions than I started with. The series, Missing in Paradise: Searching for Sarm (available on BBC iPlayer), explores the disappearance of 41-year-old Sarm Heslop,…
MY FAULT LONDON: DARK, MESSY, AND ADDICTIVELY WATCHABLE
I watched the original Spanish drama Our Fault a while back and absolutely loved it. So when I heard they were doing a London version, I thought it might be even better and I think I might be right. I’ll admit I’m a bit late to this, since it came out earlier this year, but it’s one…
WHY WE KEEP CHOOSING TEAMS: THE FASCINATION WITH TV LOVE TRIANGLES

HOSTAGE (2025) REVIEW: SURANNE JONES SHINES, BUT THE POLITICAL THRILLER MISSES THE MARK
Hostage (2025) promises high-stakes drama with two female world leaders facing personal and political crises but despite Suranne Jones’ strong performance, the series suffers from slow pacing and predictable twists. I couldn’t even watch the whole 5 episodes. Even 20 minutes into the first episode I was on my phone because I was bored, and…
FALL 2025 MOVIE PREVIEW: CHRIS EVANS, MARGOT ROBBIE & MORE
This year has felt like the spotlight has been on TV shows rather than films. Everywhere I look, people are talking about the latest series drop or binge-worthy drama. But the final stretch of 2025 might just change that, with some truly exciting movies on the horizon. From romance and musicals to horror and sci-fi,…
BROKEN PROMISES: FOOTBALLERS, FINANCES, AND THE V11
I normally don’t like football documentaries, but this one pulled me in. Maybe it’s because the story isn’t about goals, trophies, or tactics it’s about the human cost of financial ruin. The focus on the players themselves, their vulnerability, and how they’ve coped since makes it more than a sports documentary. It feels like a…
“THE WRONG PARIS” REVIEW: A CHEESY ROM-COM THAT SURPRISINGLY WORKS
You know those shitty slapstick movies that still manage to put a smile on your face? The Wrong Paris is exactly that kind of movie. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly, neither should you when you watch it. Yes, it’s low budget. Yes, it feels like a mash-up of The Bachelor and a Hallmark Christmas special without…
