What I thought about: Sweet Home
If you want to see a slideshow of horrible things happening to undeserving people; of despair and violence and gore and destruction, you’re in the right place. If not, run. Run far away from this show. What’s it about?One night, an infection (or some say a curse) sweeps across South Korea. The first symptom is… Continue reading What I thought about: Sweet Home →
What I thought about: Alice in Borderland
Very Japanese, this part-sci-fi part-thriller part-horror series, based on a popular manga, has random citizens of Tokyo get teleported to an alternate universe where they must take part in sadistic games to survive. What’s it about?One moment you’re having a shower, or something. The next thing you know, the lights go out and, when they… Continue reading What I thought about: Alice in Borderland →
Quickfire round: Escape Room
Overall a good horror movie that capitalises on the explosive growth of escape rooms, it was somewhat let down by the revelation of a slightly wider universe/plot towards the end which felt cheap. Six strangers receive a cube, ostensibly from a friend or relative. It’s a mini-puzzle, and upon solving it a piece of paper… Continue reading Quickfire round: Escape Room →
Recapping 2020 on the binge
I’ll skip the ‘what a year it’s been’ comments as you’re no doubt tired of them. Instead, let’s get straight into the stats of my little side project and see how we did this year. How much stuff did you watch this year?69 TV seasons and 31 movies/stand-up specials, which is exactly 100 ‘pieces of… Continue reading Recapping 2020 on the binge →
What I thought about: Big Mouth (Season 4)
The latest season of this adult cartoon continues to explore important themes of life with its usual grotesque flair – but the storytelling is less tight this time around. What’s it about?Big Mouth is an adult cartoon set around a group of high school freshmen. They’re beginning their puberty journey, and learning to cope with… Continue reading What I thought about: Big Mouth (Season 4) →
What I thought about: You Me Her (Seasons 1-3.5)
Any interest I had in this show unfortunately fizzled out at the beginning of Season 4. Characters became annoying, the plot wore thin, and the initial intrigue I had in the show’s premise simply faded away. I’ll try and unpick my thoughts here. What’s it about?Married couple Jack and Emma have pretty successful careers and… Continue reading What I thought about: You Me Her (Seasons 1-3.5) →
Quickfire round: Love and Anarchy
This quirky Swedish show – ostensibly a workplace comedy romance – was an intriguing watch and ended up having a much deeper emotional side to it than the trailer would suggest. It won’t be for everyone, though. Married mother-of-two Sofie is called in to a small publishing house in Stockholm to help them restructure as… Continue reading Quickfire round: Love and Anarchy →
What I thought about: The Minions of Midas
I am simply not smart enough to understand the plot. This Spanish thriller starts off with a bang, but its twists morph it into something that, right to the very end, had me scratching my head. What’s it about?Victor Genovés, an executive at media conglomerate the Malvar Group, has recently become the company president after… Continue reading What I thought about: The Minions of Midas →
Quickfire round: Inheritance
An annoying waste of time, this movie drags you along through its story – littered with boring characters and empty set design – with the promise of a great, mystery-solving payoff at the end. Spoiler: it was not worth it. “That sounds like such a great story, let’s turn it into a movie!” <- words… Continue reading Quickfire round: Inheritance →
Back for more: Unsolved Mysteries (Season 2)
Slightly less captivating than the first season, this show about mysteries which remain – literally – unsolved to this day, still managed to keep me hooked for long enough to recommend it. A body found in a landfill – how did it get there? We still don’t know for sure. The first season kicked off… Continue reading Back for more: Unsolved Mysteries (Season 2) →
