‘Power Rangers: Once and Always’ Review

Lots of butt kicking, lots of cute quips, lots of fun but not nearly as much substance as it could have had.
Star Trek: Picard – Season 2 Review
Posted on May 10, 2022 Leave a Comment
SPOILER ALERT Anyone who has not seen season 2 of Star Trek: Picard is hereby advised that this post may contain a few unavoidable spoilers. Well, that’s season two of the further adventures of Jean-Luc Picard all done and dusted, once again leaving me with nothing to do of a Friday evening. All in all, […]
TV Review: After Hours

Well then, what can I say about After Hours? In many respects, this six episode British sitcom defies a lot of the requirements for good telly and yet I really enjoyed it.
Review: The Orville (season 1)

I’ve heard a lot of folk talking very positively about this show, even claiming it fills a Star Trek void in a way the most recent Star Treks fail to do. High praise indeed. My curiosity was piqued.

Posted on May 18, 2021 Leave a Comment
Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the titular character in the BBC’s Doctor Who is finally over. Actually it was over almost two weeks ago but I had to do 6 Six Word Stories for the 6th last Sunday so you’re getting the review this Sunday instead. Lap it up.
Super Snappy Speed Reviews – TV Edition (Vol. 2)

I’ve picked 5 TV shows entirely at random from my DVD rack/Now TV/Lovefilm/etc. accounts and reviewed them all in no more than four or five sentences.
Super Snappy Speed Reviews: Cbeebies Edition
Posted on August 9, 2020 Leave a Comment
As ever these reviews reflect nothing more than my own personal opinions and impressions, squished, squeezed and diminished into just a few short sentences. The shows I have selected have nothing in common, save the fact that they are all fictional stories for very young children and are all found on Cbeebies.
TV Review: Norsemen
Posted on August 2, 2020 Leave a Comment
A bizarre little show, undeniably low-brow in some respects and with off-beat humour that only really managed to tickle me slightly. It took a little while to get started, but once it finally did get going, I found myself quickly starting to love it.
TV Review: Stranger Things
Posted on July 26, 2020 Leave a Comment
If you’re thinking this sounds like a bit of a kitchen sink show, you’re absolutely right. The Duffer brothers who created the show seem to have painstakingly pieced together every single last light-hearted ’80s American sci-fi/horror trope they could think of and mashed them together to create this show. But you know… it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds.

DCI Sam Tyler (John Simm) is a British police officer who gets hit by a car in 2006 and wakes up in 1973. The rest of the series catalogues his continual clashes with his new colleagues as he tries to navigate the unfamiliar world of the early ’70s and figure out how to return to the present day.
