House of the Dragon – Season 1
OK, so I was ALWAYS gonna be watching this, and will watch it to completion unless it gets really dire. The world’s too rich not to. However, it’s worth registering at this point: they’re pretty...

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Such a rich setting. And ambitious in scale. Incredible detail. Really struggles in the way that prequels with known source material do though in that we know this is a story that needs to...
The Sandman
Having never read the GRAPHIC NOVELS but heard loads about them over the years I was very keen to watch this, and mostly enjoyed the British emo/stoner vibing lead character. Took me a minute...
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...
Obi-Wan Kenobi

Diriliş: Ertuğrul – Season 2 (completion)
We started this season in around Feb/March last year. They’re just so damn epic in scale! Season 2 was quite the journey, with LOTS of key character deaths and huge changes in the political...
The Book of Boba Fett

Diriliş: Ertuğrul – Season 2
We didn’t make it all the way through season 2 – merely 66 episodes through the 103 that make it up – but it’s such a big part of my TV enjoying experience that...
The Handmaid’s Tale – Season 4
Torture Porn epic The Handmaid’s Tale continues – with this season feeling a bit more focused and balancing more towards storyline rather than seeming like a university psychology experiment. There were still plenty of...
The Nevers
In summary, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!”. Seemingly a Victorian Superhero piece, transforming into unintelligible scifi bollards at the last minute. A review I read prior to getting started described it as “a mess”,...
