Episode Guide Big Eden The Reunion Snow in Soller The Minister Uwe Object Else The Snipe and the Clam The Purple Witch -| Review Score – 4/5 There have been a litany of revenge thrillers over the years, especially those told from a female perspective. From Kill Bill and Hard Candy through to Carrie and Killing Eve, this genre has been mined to death. This automatically puts Netflix’s new German thriller, Kleo, on the backfoot....
An Enjoyable But Largely Mediocre Offering Like Father might have some nice ideas at its core but the clichéd structure and simplistic story beats make it feel like every other dramatic comedy in this category. An awkward chemistry between lead characters Rachel (Kristen Bell) and Harry (Kelsey Grammer) play centre field for much of the film’s 90 minute run time but a lack of memorable supporting characters means the film rests squarely on these two lead’s shoulders....

Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) Season 3 Episode 15 Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) is a makjang in every sense of word but devoid of much drama.

All three men are cheating on their respective partners. After breaking up and making peace with what’s happened, this rabble of characters find themselves faced with life, love, loss and ghost Ki-Rim kicking about too....

The Chosen One Luna Nera really had the potential to be a decent supernatural show, thanks to its interesting and popular premise surrounding witches in the 17th century and how they dealt with people’s ignorance and persecution. Unfortunately, over 6 episodes it quickly turned into a show that heavily relied on agenda-driven writing and lacks a lot of substance. While it does deliver an unexpected and interesting twist at the end, it also finishes with the usual cliffhanger, which is quickly becoming a standardised norm for Netflix Originals....
Alice In Lutherland Following the shocking reveal at the end of last night’s episode, Luther picks up where it left off, returning for a much more reflective hour of detective work, acting as a proverbial deep breath after the breathless opening to its fifth season. With both storylines from yesterday given some crucial time to grow, the episode ends with a look ahead and a promise to return to the same level of intensity the season started off with....
From the opening to the closing shot, Manchester By The Sea is one of the best written depictions of depression on film. Sprinkled with bursts of dry humour and told through recurring flashbacks, this slow-paced, emotional, character-driven drama is a stunning piece of cinema that absolutely deserves it’s critical acclaim. Reeling from a great loss in his life, further misery is thrust upon Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) when he learns his brother has died and made him sole guardian of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges)....
