The beginning was iconic that graveyard setting was such a clever choice. It tied perfectly into Halloween and the eerie tone of the series, especially with the contestants literally digging up their “graves” to find shields. It’s the perfect mix of camp and suspense that makes The Traitors so addictive. I feel like Cat Burns will be a brilliant…
Chris Columbus has done an excellent job with this murder mystery film. He has a special place in my heart already, as he directed the first two Harry Potter movies, which defined a big part of my childhood. That nostalgic affection probably made me even more excited to see his take on Richard Osman’s beloved novel. This…
I don’t understand why British true crime documentaries lag so far behind their American counterparts. The storytelling always feels rushed, and you never really get to know the victim as a person. In this case, we don’t even get an explanation of how Louise Kam met her killers. Was it planned, random, casual? Did she…
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…
Loch Ness is a gripping crime drama set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. While the show delivers strong suspense and an intriguing mystery, its pacing can feel a little too slow at times, which may test the patience of some viewers. The story kicks off when a dead body is discovered near…
After watching the recent Netflix documentary on the disappearance of Amy Bradley, I found myself with more questions than answers. While the documentary brought renewed attention to a case that’s haunted many for years, it also left out crucial perspectives especially those of Amy’s brother, Brad Bradley. In this article, I’ll share my thoughts on…
“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…
In 2022, four University of Idaho students were brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus home in the quiet town of Moscow, Idaho. The killings shocked the small community especially since it had been eight years since the last reported murder in the area. The documentary One Night in Idaho – The College Murders is a must-watch…
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…
This 6-part adaptation of Jane Harper’s Australian bestselling crime novel is an intense and grown-up murder mystery. While it is ostensibly a whodunnit, its real focus is the fracturing of individuals and families after grief, guilt and resentment takes its toll. This is part of its problem, as those looking for a straightforward twist and…
