Swarm – TV Series Review
With Swarm, Janine Nabers and Donald Glover (both writers on Atlanta) have created a series so unconventional yet timely it’ll speak to an entire generation. It’s a story so surreal, you start to believe it’s real, and perhaps some of it even is. I found myself pausing certain episodes and Googling specific events, because I …
The Power of the Doctor – Review
What an ending for this era of Doctor Who! Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker delighted in a non-stop action thrill ride for almost the entire 90-minute special.

Charmed (1998) vs Charmed (2018)
Halliwell vs Vera 20 Years Later – Does The New Charmed Cast A Spell As Good As The Original I love Charmed (1998). I grew up watching it from age five, and I don’t know why my parents let me watch it, but they did. Now at 28 it’s still a comfort show for me. …
I Know What You Did Last Summer – Season 1 Spoiler Review | Amazon Prime Video
Lois Duncan’s classic novel was turned into two fan favourite slasher films in the late 90s (and a third straight-to-DVD sequel we don’t talk about). Amazon’s newly updated teen-sex & gorefest is nothing like those films. But what could’ve been an interesting take on the novel, turns into a frustratingly unfocused teen-drama that is anything …
