Thought Companion was a lot of fun and one of the better Black Mirror-esque movies of late. Glad I went in blind though as have just seen the trailer and can’t remember seeing another which spoils (most of) its twists so explicitly.

Liked but didn't love Better Man. Some great set pieces and admire how it took a big creative swing. But was all a bit too self-flagellating and the pop pedantic in me was irked by the timeline-fudging. Think there's a more interesting film to be made about how such a niche biopic was bankrolled.

Woke up and yep, still fuming at how such an otherwise incredible series produced that result #traitorsuk

‘The Couple Next Door’ Is Steamy but Silly The Starz series starring 'Outlander' favorite Sam Heughan is fun but runs out of steam.

Wrote about The Couple Next Door which is now premiering in the US 15 months after the UK. It’s not got any better with time.

Finally catching up with third series of Industry. Still don’t understand 80 percent of what’s going on. But does that matter when you have a soft play fight scene in which Kit Harington is nearly suffocated by a squeaky sunflower? #industry

Absolutely loved A Real Pain. Brutally relatable at times and Culkin and Eisenberg bounce off each other brilliantly. One of the extremely rare occasions I actually wanted a film to last longer than 90 mins.

Macy Gray giving one word answers while the panel desperately overcompensate for binning her off might already be most awkward tv moment of the year. #themaskedsinger

Linda’s self-sabotaging amateur dramatics. The Midsommar cosplay (the challenges are so much more watchable this year). Alexander’s hilariously shifty eyes. Tonight’s #TheTraitors was easily the best of s3.

Why American Primeval is the anti-Yellowstone Netflix's latest original paints a much grubbier picture of Western life than Taylor Sheridan's Dallas-esque saga.

Admired American Primeval’s authenticity. But god, it’s overwhelmingly bleak.

With ‘On Call’ Dick Wolf’s TV Empire Has Finally Found a New Trick Prime Video's latest series 'On Call' executive produced by Dick Wolf finds the TV stalwart stretching a bit for streaming. Does it work?

Found Amazon’s new cop drama a bit style over substance.

Critics loathe him, but Harlan Coben is the king of Netflix 'Fool Me Once' was Netflix's most-watched original series of 2024, and 'Missing You' looks set to be similarly huge. So what is the appeal of the 'greasy takeaway of TV'?

Wrote about how the Harlan Coben universe is only getting more ridiculous.
