It was a huge shock to hear of the sad passing of Matthew Perry last weekend. Until now, I have kept thinking it must be some sick joke. Remember the episode of Friends where Ross had a fake memorial service after Chandler updated his alumni page claiming a blimp had killed Ross (The One With […]

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. Colony came up on my suggestions on Netflix, so in a rare moment of quick decisiveness, I started in season 1. Several episodes in and I’m […]
Bring back Agent Carter
There are no spoilers in this post. I must admit, though I’ve watched the Captain America films, I have only seen them a few times so I don’t remember that much of what happened. Agent Carter is set between the events of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter (2013) so […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 7
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. I’m still in mourning that I have reached the very end as it has been an amazing ride. Season 7 is another short season. Our intrepid agents find themselves hopping […]
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 […]
