The Paper review: The Office’s spiritual successor, but with even faster banter and higher stakes
TL;DR: The Paper is like The Office and Parks and Rec blended for 2025—hilarious and heartfelt, but too rushed for its own good. Binge it, love it, then wish it had twice as many episodes. There’s…
Wednesday season 2 part 2 review: Netflix’s split-season curse strikes again
TL;DR: Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 is spooky fun with stellar performances, but Netflix’s split-season experiment is choking its pacing. Great cast, great Burton flair, but messy structure. A ghoulishly good…
Alien: Earth episode 5 review: the Maginot’s crew and the weight of inevitability
TL;DR: Episode 5 of Alien: Earth revisits the doomed Maginot, delivering one of the franchise’s most tragic stories. Equal parts xenomorph chaos and human betrayal, it sets the stage for Morrow’s revenge…
Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club review: cosy crime meets all-star cast
TL;DR: A charming, starry adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestseller that plays it safe but delivers cosy crime comfort. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure I wanted a film version of The…
The Assassin review: stylish chaos, dark comedy, and midlife mayhem, now streaming on STARZPLAY
TL;DR: Keeley Hawes is magnificent in The Assassin, a smart, stylish, and hilariously absurd menopausal hitwoman drama on Prime Video. Come for the gunfights, stay for the mother-son banter. There are…
Foundation season 3, episode 8 review: skin in the game, the calm before the storm
TL;DR: Gaal prepares for sacrifice, Demerzel breaks, Brother Day falls, and the Mule tightens his grip. The calm before the storm has never felt so fatal. If there’s one thing Foundation excels at,…
Dexter: Resurrection episode 9 review: a tragedy that finally breaks the butcher
TL;DR: Angel Batista dies, Dexter breaks, and Leon Prater’s carnival of death is about to begin. This episode is a masterclass in inevitability, setting up a finale that promises nothing short…
Caught Stealing review: A grimy New York spiral with a cat at the center
TL;DR: Aronofsky made a Scorsese-style crime thriller about Austin Butler losing a kidney, dodging gangsters, and caring for a cat. It’s grim, funny, and deeply messy — but a ride…

Alien: Earth, episode 4 review: Wendy the Xenomorph whisperer changes everything
TL;DR: Wendy becomes the xenomorph whisperer, Boy Kavalier proves he’s the worst, Nibs has a heartbreaking breakdown, and the show takes the franchise into terrifying new territory. A slow-burn, cerebral…
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf review: brutal action, shadow ops, and spy-thriller chaos
TL;DR: Dark Wolf puts Taylor Kitsch where he belongs—front and center in an action show that’s smarter, sharper, and more compulsively watchable than you’d expect. Not flawless, but easily one…

The Roses review: hilarious, clever, and nowhere near dark enough
TL;DR: Two incredible performances keep The Roses from wilting, but the film plays it too polite. Watch it for Colman and Cumberbatch’s duel, not for the bite that the story promises but never…
Upload season 4 review: saying goodbye to TV’s smartest sci-fi comedy that forgot how to end
TL;DR: Upload Season 4 closes out Prime Video’s sharp sci-fi comedy with a whimper instead of a bang. Great cast, weak writing, and a finale that undoes too much. Funny in…
