Young Rock – Season 2
The quasi-biopic of Presedential Candidate Dwayne Johnson continues – bringing in a little adversity and a few lessons but maintaining the ludicrous tone and cartoonish charm. What a way to mythologise a backstory! I...
The Boys – Season 3
This show. My god, this show. I found myself describing in breathlessly to a workmate and realised that I absolutely love it. Flawed characters… flawed SUPERHEROES… and the set pieces – even after 2...

Dammit, this show just keeps getting better & better – and Season 5 genuinely gave the idea that Roiland & Harmon genuinely don’t care, and are putting in EXACTLY what they want to. More...
The White Lotus
High-production-value piece about a few groups of protagonists who go to an island resort for their own various reasons, and the subsequent interplay and revelations they have whilst there. It’s got a bit of...
On Becoming a God in Central Florida
This caught me TOTALLY off-guard. I was quite excited to see the series kick off with Alexander Skarsgard playing “Florida Man” in an Amway-but-OBVIOUSLY-IT’S-NOT-AMWAY cult/multilevel marketing cult… and then, well, let’s say Episode 1...
