    08/01/2019
    Possible spoilers for multiple shows inbound. Read at your own risk. Last week I posted my top ten films of 2018 and, if I’m honest, that was a very easy list to compile. This week I’m looking back over my favourite episodes of television and I found this one...

  • Making Me Smile

    17/12/2018
    It’s okay to not be okay. It is. Everyone gets sad, angry or upset. It’s part of life. To get the highs you have to take the lows, the rough with the smooth and any other cliches that come to mind. – A rock and a– no, not that...

  • My Hopes For Gotham’s Final Season

    27/11/2018
    After 88 episodes and 4 seasons I still don’t know if Gotham is a good show. It’s often poorly plotted, convoluted and tonally unbalanced and yet at times it feels totally self-aware of its own craziness and comes out the other side bearing gifts of genuine drama and comedy,...

  • My Hopes For Agents of SHIELD Season 6

    11/09/2018
    Agents of SHIELD is a show that has changed and grown dramatically since its debut in September of 2013. From its premiere it’s gone from strength to strength; the opening ten episodes of this past season might rival the opening ten episodes of season 3 as my favourite run...

  • Westworld Has A Death Problem

    04/09/2018
    Death is the business of Westworld. Guests flock to the futuristic immersive amusement park to kill without guilt, the robotic hosts being repaired the following night and by the next morning they remember nothing of the previous day’s murder. Survival and immortality are key parts of Westworld but moving...

  • My Hopes for The Orville Season 2

    28/08/2018
    First seasons are always hard, particularly for a series trying to be two shows at once. I enjoyed the debut season of The Orville but I struggled with what the show actually was for most of its episodes. Is it a comedy or is it a drama? I’m still...
