Agatha All Along

 Agatha All Along is a perfect mix of spooky, funny and mysterious that crafts a perfect blend while making moments of horror. The ensemble cast and characters work well together and while Agatha is the star, the mystery surrounding Teen adds more to the story. Each episode follows a signature style when in the Witches’ Road that quickly changes with the aesthetic and genre of the trial. It keeps everything fresh, creative and fun and will easily be a fan favourite from that and the cast.

The story's complexity distinguishes it from similar shows, as it avoids mob stereotypes and presents intricate archetypes. The Penguin adds a new dimension to Gotham, emphasising corruption as an important aspect of the city's character. Despite lacking the necessary cinematic budget, Farrell and Milioti's performances make The Penguin a pleasure to watch.

High Potential

High Potential offers viewers an enjoyable crime drama that doesn’t focus on the bleakness of the crimes that Morgan and Karadec solve. Instead, it showcases how Morgan is an integral part of the team. High Potential proves to be a clever, witty show that has a perfect ensemble. The new crime a week has been a common formula for most detective-based shows, but High Potential really does bring a fresh take to it with Kaitlin Olsen bringing the right amount of chaotic, carefree energy.

Kaos: Review

An entertaining, dark but comedic and grounded series that takes on Greek Myths and updates them for a modern setting while keeping them grounded to make the show fun and feel epic. If you know the myths and characters, there are still new takes built into the story that weaves together with care. Goldblum is a selling point of a series and is fantastic as the malicious but funny Zeus, yet it is the three humans and Dionysus that steal the series. Netflix should continue this story as there is more to tell and many more myths to look forward to with Kaos’ immersive world and shocking moments.

Rings of Power: Review

Some plots in Rings of Power flow with purpose and speed, while others drag on or, worse, circle back on themselves. Rings of Power has a hard time walking the tightrope between providing a sophisticated political fantasy setting and going into too much detail, which turns the game into more of a didactic than an enjoyable experience. In addition, you nearly feel deceived by the pointless side stories and acting, particularly following the scenes involving Sauron and Celebrimbor.

Batman: Caped Crusader Review

Batman: Caped Crusader will be a treat for fans of the nostalgic style of the 90s animated series, but the plot offers nothing compelling to excite viewers. At times, Batman: Caped Crusader struggles to find its audience, often focusing on more adult themes but then reverting to a more classic style.

Lady In The Lake: Review

A stylised noir whose murder mystery takes a backseat to showcase the two female characters whose lives are entwined. It is a story of reinvention, survival and finding the truth in a world that wants to keep things hidden.

Orphan Black: Echoes

Orphan Black: Echoes has potential, but it lacks the strength of its predecessor. Sometimes it seems like the twists take a little longer to reach their destination but its strengths lie in the latter half of the season. Orphan Black: Echoes has a more compelling plot when it concentrates on the ethical ramifications of the revolutionary science and does enough to stand on its own.
