Glass Onion (2022)

I know, I'm a bit late to the party and really, does the world even need another glowing review of Glass Onion? But, here we are 😉 Knives Out (2019) was such a fun movie, twisting the 'whodunnit' to the point where it's a very rewatchable film (I know, because I did just before seeing GO) …

Enola Holmes 2 (2022)

We first met Enola Holmes (2020), younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft, as she investigated the disappearance of their mother on Enola's sixteenth birthday. Shenanigans of course ensued, and now-independent Enola has decided to capitalise on the experience by setting up her own detective agency. It doesn't quite go to plan. Prospective clients are aghast …

The Sandman (season 1)

I've loved the Sandman stories since I first stumbled across them in the local library. I'm not the hugest graphic novels fan, but these are easily my favourite and more than that the whole concept just kind of blows me away. The Endless: a family of, more or less, anthropomorphic personifications of the Big Ideas such as …

Stranger Things (season 4)

Welcome to the television event of the year. Split into two 'volumes', the penultimate season of Stranger Things has been the watercooler tv of late. We're back in Hawkins, with an ever-expanded cast of characters. The youngers are looking so gawky and teenage-y which suits well, given they're starting high school. All is not well: the group …

Stranger Things (season 2)

My rewatch of the excellent Stranger Things continues as I run towards the new episodes. Season 1 both tied up the initial story and left an obvious way to continue. And so, welcome back to Hawkins, Indiana, just in time for Halloween, 1984. It didn't occur to me at the time, but each season revolves …

Stranger Things (season 1)

As the fourth season of Stranger Things debuts on Netflix, I asked myself if I should plough right in or did I need to refresh my memory a bit on season 3. Then I realised I hadn't ever rewatched a season, so it felt time to go right back to the beginning! We start on …

The Adam Project (2022)

When Adam Reed (Ryan Reynolds) travels back from 2050 to put right what once went wrong (urm, wrong show, sorry!), he instead manages to crash land in 2022 where his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) is dealing with both the school bullies, the recent death of his father (Mark Ruffalo), and a mother (Jennifer Garner) not …

Jupiter’s Legacy (season 1)

There's nothing like a studio/company cancelling a new show when you're halfway through watching it - cheers for that, Netflix. But, was it deserved or should it be offered a reprieve? Jupiter's Legacy is split between two timelines. In the 'now', we have a modern world where superheroes are real and have been for 90 …

Stowaway (2021)

Imagine the years of training required to be fit mentally and physically for the 2 year journey to Mars, and the pride of being one of the chosen few deemed the best of the best. Zoe (Anna Kendrick) and David (Daniel Dae Kim) are the two scientists sent on the mission with commander Marina Barnett …

The Alienist (season 1)

My attempts to catch up with my reviewing leads to this very overdue write up on a surprisingly engrossing TV series. I picked The Alienist on Netflix partly because the title (explained shortly) intrigued me, partly because of the Ripper Street period vibe I was getting, and I thought I'd give an episode a go and …
