Not every Harlan Coben adaptation hooks me from the very first episode, but I always give them a chance because I know there is usually a twist around the corner that changes everything. I Will Find You takes its time getting there, but if you stick with it, you’re rewarded with an intriguing mystery, strong performances and…
Few shows manage to improve on a strong first season, but A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder somehow does exactly that. Season 2 is darker, smarter and far more emotionally gripping than what came before. What began as a compelling teen mystery has evolved into something much more intense, delivering a story that feels mature, unsettling and…
Caroline Muirhead is an extraordinary woman though not in the way most stories would lead you to expect. This three-part limited series on Netflix (each episode running around an hour) begins like a modern love story before quickly descending into something far darker and more unsettling. At 29, Caroline meets Scottish farmer Sandy McKellar on Tinder, just…
Sometimes you don’t want gritty realism or prestige TV sometimes you just want something smart, silly, and ridiculously entertaining. It’s pretty impossible to create anything truly original in the packed murder/police crime drama genre, and High Potential doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it relies on strong performances, a tight script, and a genuine sense…
Series 15 of this guilty pleasure has landed and its popularity is as strong as ever with its mix of murder, sunny beaches and long-running story arcs intersecting with new characters and plot lines. The police department on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie have more than their fair share of suspicious deaths blotting…
Fresh off the global success of Netflix’s His and Hers, Astrid Rotenberry is stepping into the spotlight with a performance that quietly lingers long after the final twist. The Tennessee-born actor appears as Catherine Kelly, a character intricately tied to the past of Anna played by Tessa Thompson in the gripping murder mystery that has captivated…
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….
“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…
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…
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…
