“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…

‘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…
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…
DEATH IN PARADISE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL REVIEW: COMFORT TELEVISION DONE RIGHT
The Death in Paradise Christmas special once again delivers a polished and reassuring piece of festive television. Rather than attempting to reinvent itself, the series leans into what it does best: a gentle murder mystery, strong ensemble chemistry, and a tone that prioritises warmth and accessibility. The episode also demonstrates how effectively the franchise now operates as…
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,…
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…
WHO I THINK MIGHT DIE IN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5
With Volume 2 officially T minus 2 days, I wanted to sit down and write this now before everything changes and give my final predictions on who I think could die in the last three episodes of Stranger Things before the finale on the 31st. This isn’t something I’m doing lightly, because honestly, I’m not emotionally prepared…
WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A PARTIAL RETURN TO FORM FOR THE KNIVES OUT MYSTERY SERIES
The first Knives Out movie was a perfect example of a murder mystery. The plot was tight, the acting exemplary and it felt like a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2019. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the second instalment, 2022’s Glass Onion which was an overblown vanity project with…
THE GOLDEN GLOBES NOMINATIONS BUT NOT AS WE KNOW THEM
The Golden Globes promised a reinvention this year new voters, new systems, new energy and yes, some things genuinely have changed. But here we are again, staring at a nominations list that somehow manages to feel both brand-new and déjà vu at the same time. The same old shows and the same old faces pop up, reminding…
MY LIST OF THE BEST AND WORST TV SHOWS THIS YEAR PLUS SOME HIDDEN GEMS
It’s that time of year again when I look back at my personal TV highs and lows and shout out a few favourites that might have slipped under the radar. It’s been a surprisingly strong year, with plenty of series giving films a proper run for their money. I’m sure I’ve missed many of your…
