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…
SAME OLD, SAME OLD FROM RICKY GERVAIS NEW STAND UP: MORTALITY
Who would have thought that Ricky Gervais would finally seem old hat and dare I say it, boring. The creator of the hugely influential The Office and my personal favourite Extra’s has made some great stand up shows for Netflix as well as his hilarious time hosting The Golden Globes, but Mortality can’t be added…
WHY WE STILL NEED COMEDY: KEVIN HART’S ACTING MY AGE.
I know this is a slightly different kind of review than what you might usually read, but no one really talks about comedy anymore. And honestly, I think right now we could all use a good laugh. With how negative the news cycle is and how much bad stuff people are constantly reading, comedy feels…
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…
STRANGER THINGS DIDN’T JUST END — IT LET US CHOOSE
In my opinion, Stranger Things ended in the best possible way. Endings are hard especially for a show this loved, this long-running, and this layered but somehow the Duffer Brothers managed to pull it off. The finale was intense, emotional, clever, and most importantly, satisfying without being over-explained. The final fight scene alone proves how strong the…
WHY ‘HARRY MET SALLY’ REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST ROMANCE FILMS OF ALL TIME
Few rom-coms have aged as gracefully or as hilariously as When Harry Met Sally. “You’ll have what I’m having.” That line, shouted across a bustling New York deli, has become cinematic legend and perfectly sums up why this film continues to captivate audiences decades after its release. For those who haven’t seen it yet, here’s the…
WHY TV’S MOMENTUM ISN’T SLOWING DOWN IN 2026
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,…
WILL BYERS: THE HIDDEN HORCRUX AND THE MAGIC OF STRANGER THINGS
The more I think about Stranger Things, the more it feels impossible to ignore how closely it mirrors Harry Potter especially when it comes to Will Byers. At this point, Will isn’t just “the kid who went missing in season one.” He’s something darker, something more dangerous. He’s a Horcrux. In Harry Potter, Voldemort survives by splitting his…
STRANGER THINGS VOLUME 2: WHEN CHARACTER MATTERS MORE THAN THE UPSIDE DOWN
(Spoilers Ahead) Stranger Things Volume 2 might be my favourite part of the entire show so far. From the pacing to the emotional payoff, it feels confident in what it’s doing and, more importantly, it knows that its strength lies in character rather than spectacle. The pacing is brilliant nothing feels rushed, but nothing drags…
