Daisy Jones and the Six is a great example of an excellent best-selling book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, being turned into a great show. However, the show made a few changes by incorporating songs into a story that is deemed to be loosely based on the emergence of the  Fleetwood Mac.  5. ‘Aurora’ ‘Aurora’ is […]

Stranger Things Stranger Things is a science fiction horror series about a lab which has used people as experiments and knows a […]

I love a good Netflix documentary – true crime is a guilty pleasure and this one will have you yelling at the screen.

On the 14th of January, Netflix released Ricky Gervais’ much anticipated third season of After Life.

When it comes to television drama, there is a vast ocean of content to keep up with these days. From streaming services to conventional television there are loads to watch. One show which feels overlooked this year is Your Honor. Your Honor follows Bryan Cranston’s Judge Michael Desiato, a well-respected judge whose moral compass becomes […]

Doctor Who: Flux finally reaches its drawn-out conclusion. The Vanquishers, as it is titled, promises to wrap up all loose ends and tie up every plot thread that stuck out like multiple sore thumbs throughout the season in a satisfying way… Only kidding. This is Chibnall’s writing we’re talking about. Remember Vines? Those little six-second […]

The penultimate episode of Doctor Who: Flux is here. A series that has shown an awful lot yet seems as empty as the vast space that the flux is encompassing. Despite last weekend’s Village of the Angels being the high point so far, I still approached this episode with the same degree of nonchalant scepticism […]

As we edge closer to 2022, we must acknowledge the triumph of TV this year. So, here are our top ten television series of 2021, ranking from number ten to number one. 10. Outer Banks This summer, thanks to Netflix, we were given the second series of Outer Banks. After being left on a huge […]

The Weeping Angels are back. Doctor Who: Flux has pulled out all the stops in the mid-season slump and brought back a monster whose fear factor was decimated a long time ago. However, in a somewhat pleasant surprise, the weeping angel formula gets a new rewrite. While nowhere near as frightening as they were in […]

Doctor Who: Flux continues with Once, Upon Time – and in classic Chris Chibnall fashion. That of running out of steam and proceeding to rip off your predecessors, this time being Steven Moffat and his wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey malarkey. Here’s the thing: despite Moffat’s faults, there seemed like genuine depth and emotion being displayed by the […]

Netflix Originals have proved to be some of the best televised experiences of recent times. Here, we name the top five of Netflix’s original series and films to watch. 5. Extraction In what comes across as Netflix’s answer to the growing popularity of John Wick, Extraction is a fast-paced action movie with exceptional combat scenes throughout. Though […]

In the world of television, HBO is without question one of the most respected companies. While they are best known for their drama productions, many people overlook the wealth of comedy content the company has to offer. Silicon Valley is arguably one of the best pieces of comedy offered by them. Silicon Valley focuses on the […]

Doctor Who: Flux continues with War of the Sontarans, which is a bit of a redundant title since the Sontarans are basically always at war. So really it should be called: The Sontarans. The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan have been transported through time where things are… a little off. The Crimean War is now being […]

Jodie Whittaker’s final season in Doctor Who, titled Flux, kicked off this weekend. In what will be a single story spanning six episodes, the first story, called The Halloween Apocalypse, kicks things into gear in trademark Chibnall fast pace.

For Netflix, Squid Game has perhaps proven to be one of the best original series they have ever commissioned.

This week, the final episode of Marvel’s What If series aired on Disney+ and starred the voices of our favourite superheroes, including Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Hemsworth.

Doctor Who’s latest season and Jodie Whittaker’s second in charge of the TARDIS. Will we see a resurgence of quality in the show that misfired a few too many times last series?

Across the thousands of television channels, there has been an endless number of dramas broadcast. This list breaks down the best, must-see drama series of all time. 5.

Doctor Who goes through its most radical changes since its revival. With a new showrunner, new production team and most significantly, Jodie Whittaker becoming the first female incarnation of the Time Lord. A hard reset was on the cards for the show and Series Eleven did just that. Did it stick the landing or did […]

Doctor Who lead actor and showrunner, Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat, were set for one last series. With them came Matt Lucas as the bumbling android Nardole, and newcomer Pearl Mackie, stealing the hearts of everyone as the infectious Bill Potts. I feel like Series Ten is slept on by a lot of people. It’s […]

Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, and many more star in the fifth episode of Marvel’s What If? series. This week’s instalment follows the possibility of a zombie apocalypse. The opening of this episode consists of Bruce Banner crash landing from space via a transportation method known as the Bifröst. Linking to 2018’s […]

After stumbling out the gates, Capaldi’s second stint on Doctor Who proved to not only be a significant improvement but one of the greatest the show has ever had to offer. And it is so easy to overlook. Dominated by two-parters, the ninth series is home to some of the strongest episodes yet, rivalling Series […]

Doctor Who’s new direction begins with Peter Capaldi taking the reins and Jenna Coleman in support. A life-long Who fanatic, we can only guess how Capaldi felt when offered the role of his dreams. Regrettably, Series Eight is the weakest of Capaldi’s three outings. Maybe Steven Moffat was burnt out by the year before, we’ll […]

Doctor Who’s seventh series was pretty significant. Not only was it the third and last full season to feature Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor but it fell in line with the 50th anniversary of the show. To say that Steven Moffat’s hands were full is an understatement. The focus on the anniversary special meant […]

Marvel’s What If…? provides alternative outcomes of events from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The series so far has covered Peggy Carter becoming Captain Carter, rather than the creation of Captain America. This second instalment stars the late Chadwick Boseman, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, and Benicio Del Toro. This episode follows T’Challa as Star Lord (instead […]

This Disney Plus original series follows a modern take on the many possible outcomes of various Marvel Cinematic Universe scenarios, answering the ultimate question what if…? Starting Hayley Atwell, Josh Keaton, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, and Stanley Tucci, the first addition of this long awaited series re-tells the story of Captain America: The First Avenger. […]

For many people, this is where Doctor Who seemed to descend in quality for them. Steven Moffat’s reliance on confusing and over-arching stories was putting more people off than intriguing them to keep watching. However, if you put that to the side, I believe series six has some very solid episodes, and even a lot […]

It seemed like an impossible task to replace David Tennant. The job on new showrunner Steven Moffat and the unknown actor cast as the Eleventh Doctor seemed nigh-on impossible. Yet somehow, Series Five of Doctor Who is considered one of the best ever. And this is all thanks to the blazing confidence and ambition set […]

The final season for showrunner Russell T Davies and the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant. Series Four is arguably the most acclaimed, iconic, and beloved season of television the show has ever produced.

If series one was the season that got me into Doctor Who, series three is what made me love it. Some of the episodes here genuinely changed my life.

David Tennant’s first series continues the strong impact made by the first. We see the Doctor and Rose go into even more extreme dangers here.

When Doctor Who returned in 2005, it needed a huge opening statement to stamp its mark on television. And that it did.

This puts character and interaction […]

Residents of the UK have been quick to denounce Amanda Holden after she made an ignorant joke about the French and Dutch languages.

Following Netflix’s recent announcement that there will be limitations set on device sharing between households, a huge question has been posed in my mind as to whether or not my Netflix subscription is actually worth it.
