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.

Emily in Paris returns for its fourth and final season and fans of the show will be delighted to hear that Emily has finally made a decision in terms of her romantic endeavours! While the series is lacking in the female friendship, it delivers in swoon-worthy moments that is key for any romantic drama.

One Fast Move delivers an insight of stronger hustles, while also keeping the drive and devotion alive.

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.

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 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.

Splitting the season in two had a clear impact on the pacing and by adding a mid-season break that broke apart the much needed urgency needed to keep the story going and give it any hope of substance. While there was a slightly more serious tone to the latter part of the season, having a romantic leading couple that lacked chemistry and writing that had no clear or cohesive structure has ensured that the third season of Bridgerton is its weakest. Fans of the series already know it has been renewed for a fourth season, one can only hope that the writers and showrunner has learnt from the many mistakes of the third season.

House of the Dragon returns with bloodier but with richer characters and plot as the Green and Blacks fight for the crown. The season is a deeper look at the characters as they go behind each other's back to enact vengeance with devastating impact. From the score to the camera work and performance, everything is elevated and uses the substance over the characters to deliver heart wrenching blows after violent confrontations. If you are team Green or Black, both factions deliver quality and blood.

It seems that under the new showrunner, Bridgerton is lost for ideas and is afraid of the spark it had cultivated in past seasons. While Coughlan is a strong lead and propels the story forward, Newton is anything but. Ideals of a more feminist approach and fierier chemistry were promised but left unfulfilled, but the season is saved by the ensemble cast of Hannah Dodd, Emma Naomi, Sam Phillips, and Martins Imhangbe. Thankfully, we still have Featherington shenanigans that keep the plot entertaining through Portia’s repeated desire for survival and security.

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School is a fantastic horror teen drama and manages to feel fresh in a world where teen dramas are a little oversaturated due to streaming. Despite the shorter episode count, Little Liars is a strong follow-up to Original Sin, elevating the genre and making for an enjoyable watch.
