Off the back of three terrific, exciting episodes, Jessica Jones slows down a little for a final set of episodes that generally bring things to a satisfying conclusion. Most Netflix shows with a thirteen episode run tend to lack enough story to fill all 13, leading to a fair bit of padding in the later … >
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS PLOT SPOILERS. WE ADVISE NOT READING THE REVIEW UNTIL YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE. After three non-stop years of building hype and anticipation, the latest chapter in the Star Wars saga has finally hit cinemas. Strangely enough for a sci-fi fan, Star Wars kind of passed me by. I have vague memories of … >
Netflix’s first season of Daredevil was notorious for peaking somewhere in the middle, with a run of a few episodes with an unerring focus and blistering sense of tension and pace.
