Seeing as the cast of Firefly are doing a show set in a similar realm on the same network, on paper at least, this show should not exist. Thankfully though, Kings of Con is very much alive and being obscenely well received by almost all of its audience. With names like Tim Omundson, Michael Cudlitz, … >
2002 saw the much-anticipated return of the wizarding world to the big screen when Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets arrived in cinemas. The second instalment in Rowling’s Potter series is stuffed full of foreshadowing, and sets up many apparently inconsequential things which prove to be very important later on. We meet Dobby the … >
“It’s like Doctor Who… but in Cardiff… and there’s a bit more sex and swearing.” When Torchwood first arrived on BBC Three in the autumn of 2006 it was met with something of a mixed reaction. In its efforts to seem more adult than its family-oriented sister show, the first season comes across as decidedly juvenile in … >
There’s no denying that Sherlock was a juggernaut of a show. It changed the way we experienced TV with its slick on screen text display, surreal imagery and its lovable yet flawed characters. With ‘The Final Problem’ all wrapped up, the fandom is now divided. Some want another season while others are happy with the … >
Imagine a show like this. It’s set in an infinitely complex sci-fi sandbox in which countless amounts of planets, dimensions and alien species co-exist. Our guide to this universe is a somewhat irascible, wacky older man who’s an expert on everything the vast and terrifying universe has to offer. And to ensure that the man … >
It seems strange to think that 15 years have already passed since the release of the very first Harry Potter movie, but it’s true. Nearly a decade and a half since we saw the famous ‘Golden Trio’ of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson united onscreen for the first time and since children, teens … >
With the lowest viewing figures since the acclaimed BBC drama began, ‘The Final Problem’ begged the question: has Sherlock lost the plot? The elaborate storylines of the fourth season finale stretched the bounds of credibility to its limits, and whether its adventurous approach to story-telling was a bold or a foolish move depends on your … >
So, the final problem has been solved and Moffat & Gatiss have confirmed that this could be the end for Sherlock. We’d be very surprised if a fifth season doesn’t happen at some point, but it seems a safe bet that it’ll be a decent wait (even by Sherlock hiatus standards) until we get another trio of … >
So, is Sherlock really a fantasy rather than a crime drama? “Eh?” I hear you ask. But I haven’t gone mad, I’m not on a trip right now, and last time I checked my walls were still vertical. I’m deadly serious: there’s a legitimate case (ho ho) that we should talk about Sherlock as fantasy … >
Our Girl the army drama, recently re-surfacing on our screens, has become extremely popular in all age groups, from teens to adults. But why do us teens love it so much? Why do we find it so easy to connect with? The exciting storyline kept me constantly gripped, but what made the programme so relatable … >
