These Violent Delights Have… Poor Ends Westworld doesn’t feel like westworld anymore. I’ll admit that I’m one of the few that actually really enjoyed the second season and loved the intricate convolutions and trying to piece everything together. Sure the ending was a little rushed and the season lost its edge over the excellent first, but it still felt like a tight-knit puzzle box that needed to be solved. This season strips away the complications to deliver a flashy, beautifully produced cyberpunk world that’s brimming with unfulfilled potential....

The Love Poems The second chapter of When My Love Blooms starts to show just how unlucky and sad Ji-Soo’s life seems to have been so far.

Episode Guide Sometimes Monsters Win White Like Snow Even If You Were Ugly Neighborhood Footsteps of Apocalypse End of All Good Things In the years since I started reviewing TV shows, one of the things I learnt very early on was to never base the credibility and quality of a series on its pilot episode. Far too often shows change their tone, pace and style across the breadth of a series’ run time and in this respect, Turkish series Wolf is the perfect example of this....

Siblings The tables have turned in the latest episode of Woman of 9.9 Billion as Hee-Joo takes control of the situation and shows her true self to her husband as she violently confronts him.

X-Men: First Class and The Hunger Games may have catapulted Jennifer Lawrence to stardom but her acting career didn’t begin with these megahits. Her first appearance was in the TV show Monk and she continued to work in television before gaining a small role in the poorly received teen drama Garden Party in 2008. Thankfully, her Hollywood career didn’t begin and end with that undistinguished movie as she was able to nab more prominent roles, appearing alongside such acting heavyweights as Charlize Theron in The Burning Plain and Mel Gibson in The Beaver....
