Based on the New York Times bestseller from James L. Swanson, Manhunt is a gripping thriller that follows the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and the hunt for John Wilkes Booth. It is a perfectly crafted story that draws you into the conspiracy and delivers strong emotional performances that is another win for Apple TV in their growing list of successes.

An intriguing show unlike other period dramas that is both sinister and seductive, showing the duplicitous nature of the characters and that there are no boundaries when it comes to political ascension. Marketing promised scenes of a salacious nature with George and the King but it is the political climb of the Villers and incredible nuanced performances with outrageous turns that make the series nothing like typical period dramas.

The Second-Best Hospital in the Galaxy had potential to be a big hit like Amazon’s other animated series, but lacks personality due to repetitive humour. Despite its flaws, Culkin and Rudoph's characters and interesting patients lift the show out of mediocrity, but not enough to engage its viewers. The Second-Best Hospital in the Galaxy is an easy watch, but has nothing of comedic or storyline substance.

A beautifully told tale that is about a close friendship filled with yearning, love and resentment at times. While the big moments in life are never seen, the characters' growth and adapting to life shapes the story in a way that will leave you engrossed and aching.

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.
