Keep Running up that Hill
Stranger Things is back for season 4 and it has been a long time coming. Lockdown has delayed filming for many and in that time it is easy to forget how good a series is as it’s been too long since you last saw it. Well not only is Stranger Things one of the best […]
The three types of Christmas movies.
The way I see it, there are three distinct types of Christmas movies. 1 – The cheesy romance/Hallmark Christmas movie I’m talking about the type of movie that quite often features a woman who returns to her hometown for whatever reason and ends up falling in love with a man though not without some setbacks […]
Squid Game is not a game for kids
Warning: contains spoilers In Squid Game, you are either all in or all out. This is a game where there are no half measures. Participation is voluntary but you’re going to need a strong stomach and a steely heart for the challenges you will face if you want to win. Or live. I’m not going […]
Dark – a tale across time and realities
Warning: contains spoilers The title has given away major spoilers so I can only apologise for that. Dark is a German series and I stuck with the dubbed version rather than subtitles as my German is limited to a few words at best. And to be fair, you need to concentrate so hard on what […]
My latest binge-watch – Colony
Warning: contains minor spoilers. I decided I have been a bit too invested in Marvel offerings lately so I decided to switch it up and try a different series.

Warning: contains spoilers Well, this is it, the final season and unlike characters for whom death is not a barrier, this really is the end.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6
Warning: contains major spoilers Season 6 – what the actual ***? I’d barely published my round-up of season 5 and had sat back to enjoy season 6 and, bam, just like that it was over. I think I’ve been spoiled with 22 episodes to a season so to have 13 episodes was a shock. It […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 5
Warning: contains major spoilers Well season 5 certainly went in a different direction, no scrap that, not direction, time! Yep, our tireless agents travel into the future minus Fitz. They didn’t even get to chill after all the happenings of season 4. You would think a little holiday would be in order. So what did […]
