The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

Emotional rollercoaster - A must watch

[10/10 · 29 October 2018]

What an amazing, emotional and refreshing take on the ghost story/horror genre. Having just finished watching the last episode I am completely blown away by the story, the acting and even the accompanying music. Never have I watched something so powerful hard hitting with lessons in coping and expressing grief whilst also scaring me half to death. Give us more please.

The Man in the High Castle (2015–2019)

Watch Season 3 to the end before reviewing

[10/10 · 17 October 2018]

People need to watch Season 3 to the end before reviewing because each episode leads onto the next with the story unfolding every so subtley with bigger consequences leaving cliffhangers that make the next episode more compelling to watch. If your giving up on the season too early your not giving it a chance. This, for me, has been the best season yet and I cannot wait for the next.

Krypton (2018–2019)

Pleasantly suprised

[7/10 · 22 March 2018]

As a fan of the Superman films old and new I was pleasantly suprised at this refreshing take on a story thats been told as many times as the death of Bruce Waynes parents. It's not without its issues, the acting is a bit wooden and emotionless in parts but its got my interest for now. Some people have commented on the CGI being poor, i'm thinking the exact opposite, I think its pretty good for a TV show. It's a bit strange seeing Krypton with such a modern look but thats just me thinking back to the Christopher Reeve days. Let's see how the next bunch of episodes unfold but I will be watching the next one thats for sure.

Stargate Origins (2018)

All about expectations

[5/10 · 15 February 2018]

People need to understand that this was never going to compete with the TV series. This show doesn't have the budget, audience (online only) or the episode length that the TV series had. My belief is that this was to attract TV producers attention that Stargate fans haven't died off and that we would very much be interested in a revival. Take Origins as it is but with the thought that something might come after.
