I am not really a big K-POP person, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the storyline of this one. The music was honestly way better than I expected, and I even ended up adding a couple of the songs to my playlist. I went into it thinking, “Okay, this is probably not my thing,” but…

ARE THESE THE HIDDEN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 EASTER EGGS IN THE FIRST SHADOW
Something I spotted in The First Shadow might be the missing piece of the Season 5 puzzle. After seeing Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the theatre for the second time, I was amazed all over again but this time, I left with my brain spinning, trying to figure out what the elusive easter egg might be for the…
ANNIKA Review: A Fourth-Wall Crime Drama That Deserves More Praise
I think the critics have got this one wrong. The second season of Annika just landed on BBC iPlayer this week, and honestly, it’s perfectly watchable, more than that, it’s gripping, clever, and completely unique in how it’s told. What makes Annika a brilliant crime drama is its format. DI Annika Strandhed (played by Nicola Walker) breaks the fourth…

Max, Blood, and Final Battles – My Reaction to the Stranger Things Season 5 Teaser
“Wherever this blood leads. I need you to fight one last time. Let’s end this, kid.” This chilling line closes the official teaser for Stranger Things Season 5 and I had goosebumps. The teaser doesn’t reveal much, but what it does show is powerful and emotionally intense. One of the most heart-wrenching moments was seeing Lucas desperately trying…
HBO’s New Harry Potter Series: What I Think About Hagrid and Harry’s New Look
Yesterday, HBO released the first on-set photo of Nick Frost as Hagrid in the upcoming Harry Potter series, and it’s already stirring a lot of opinions online. Starting with Hagrid: I don’t mind the outfit. The olive-green jacket and striped T-shirt actually suit both Nick Frost and the character quite well. However, his beard and…
“Ballard”: A Gritty, Gripping Spin-Off That Proves TV Still Has Its Edge
I’ve been saying it all year 2025 is shaping up to be the year of television, and Ballard is more proof of that. While movies this year have been sluggish filled with remakes and lacking in originality (even the new F1 film feels like a carbon copy of Top Gun, right down to sharing the same director) TV…
“Black Bird” on Apple TV: A Riveting Crime Drama You Can’t Miss
Apple TV’s Black Bird is an incredible show that’s been on my watch list for some time now and if you’re a fan of gripping true crime dramas, it absolutely deserves a spot on yours too. This six-part limited series is a masterclass in storytelling, even though it first premiered in 2022. If you’re feeling burnt out…
“Olympo” Review: A Stylish Yet Sluggish Dive into Sports Drama
Olympo was, unfortunately, a massive disappointment and there are far better sports-themed series out there. To start with, here I am watching another show with subtitles. That’s not a bad thing in itself, but the story has to be compelling enough to keep me engaged and this one struggled to do that. This Spanish Netflix drama follows a…
HOT TAKES FROM THE STAGE: THE BEST, THE WORST, AND THE UNDERRATED
Theatre is meant to move, divide, thrill and sometimes completely disappoint. From West End giants to smaller gems, here’s my unapologetically honest breakdown of the most overrated, most underrated, and absolute best theatre productions I’ve seen. Agree, disagree this is my stage, and I’m not holding back. THE MOST OVERRATED MUSICAL – Hadestown I’ve already written a full article explaining…
