Mr and Mrs Smith is an exceptional spy thriller that balances dark comedy and action. There is a realistic chemistry and high intensity matched with expert comedy from Donald Glover and Maya Erskine that brings new life into the genre.

A visually stunning account of the Bloody Hundred’s time in service that does not glorify war but adopts a character driven approach to offer something new. It doesn’t pick up until the second half of the season with too much time is spent on repetitive narrative structure when a deeper exploration between the Hundredth and the fighter pilots could have offered more than brief appearances in the final two episodes.

A true adaption to the books that brings to life the characters with perfect casting in all areas. Complex themes and relationships are explored between the demigods and their parents as well as effortlessly combining the mythical and modern worlds. Viewers of all ages can enjoy this series without reading the book and still be enthralled in the world.

It is not a typical Nordic crime thriller but an interesting combination of American suspense and Scandinavian noir. The mystery is explored with nuance and a clever use of flashbacks to propel the mystery and keep you gripped and guessing for answers. This is a sure recommendation for anyone who loves a crime thriller mixed with a complex family dynamic.

Scott Pilgrim is back, but in this anime style, to bring a fun-filled watch that focuses on the evil exes to solve a mystery that runs throughout the series. Each episode is like a different genre that provides background for the exes and Ramona and stays true to the vibe of the comic and movie. The returning cast from the movie gives the series a nostalgic hit, and everyone brings their top game to the anime.

Gen V lives up the hype of its parent show but is able to prove it itself from the first episode. A rich, fun and wild ride that showcases young superheroes dealing with societal and personal pressures with signature blood-soaked shocking moments, it is a wild ride that deserves more than one season.

Going beyond the original can be risky and often results in losing what the audience enjoyed, but Good Omens successfully goes beyond the original to strengthen the bond between (Aziraphale) Michael Sheen and Crowley (David Tennant).

Season two of The Summer I Turned Pretty relies on common tropes and conventions associated with coming-of-age narratives that fail to make the series stand out in this romantic genre category. Episodes border on repetitive with performances that lack in energy.

Outlander Season 7 lacks any meaningful stakes or adventures. Conflicts arise, but as soon as they are discovered, they are resolved or the characters do not react to them. While the season is off to a rushed and rocky start, new characters do breathe a breath of fresh air into the show that promises an interesting rest of season.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies stands on its own with colourful and catchy songs. With a modern, more accountable take, it is an almost perfect homage to the smash hit movie but gives more layers to the characters.
