‘AEW Double or Nothing’ 2026 | Review
There is a very specific kind of chaos that only AEW Double or Nothing seems capable of producing. It is not just the length or the stacked card, it is the feeling that at any moment the show could completely spiral in either direction and somehow still land on its feet. Double or Nothing 2026…
‘Mortal Kombat 2’ | Review
There is something strangely admirable about how committed Mortal Kombat 2 is to being exactly the kind of movie it wants to be. This is not a prestige reinvention of the franchise. It is not trying to elevate video game adaptations into some emotionally devastating awards contender. Mortal Kombat 2 is here to let ninjas…
‘The Boys’ – Final Season | Review
There is a point in the final season of The Boys where the chaos stops feeling sharp and starts feeling routine, and the final season unfortunately lives in that space more often than not. What once felt dangerous and unpredictable now leans heavily on the same beats, just pushed louder each time. The shock value…
‘Perfect Crown’ | Review
There is a weight to Perfect Crown that settles in early and never really lets go. This is a story that understands power not as something glamorous, but as something that erodes. The deeper it pulls its characters in, the more it strips away who they used to be. It leans into that idea with…
‘Rooster’ Season 1 | Review
There is something instantly comforting about Rooster, even as it leans into the awkwardness that comes with starting over. Led by Steve Carell, the series finds a balance between humour and sincerity that feels natural rather than forced. It is a show that understands how messy people can be, but never loses sight of the…
Beyond the Game: Samurai 2026 World Baseball Classic | Review
There’s something instantly different about Beyond the Game: Samurai 2026 World Baseball Classic, and it becomes clear almost immediately that this isn’t trying to be like other sports documentaries. It doesn’t just treat baseball as sport, it treats it like ritual. From the opening moments, it frames Japan’s journey through the World Baseball Classic as…
‘Beef’ Season 2 | Review
Season two of Beef arrives with a different kind of pressure. The first season felt complete on its own, a tightly wound spiral of resentment that somehow found a strange kind of emotional release by the end. It did not feel like a story that needed continuation. This time, the series takes a full anthology…
‘Pursuit of Jade’ | First Impressions
There is something quietly confident about Pursuit of Jade in its opening stretch, the kind of confidence that does not need to rush or overwhelm you to make its point. Through its first three episodes, the series settles in with a clear sense of identity and tone, inviting you into its world rather than dragging…
‘Hirayasumi’ | Review
Hirayasumi is a live action adaptation of the manga of the same name by Keigo Shinzo, and it follows the quiet, slice of life journey of Hiroto Ikuta, a carefree young man who unexpectedly becomes the owner of an old house in Tokyo after the passing of an elderly neighbour. Living alongside his cousin Natsumi,…
WrestleMania 42 (Night 2) | Review
Night 2 immediately felt like a course correction. After Night 1, which was honestly an abomination, this show came out with urgency and purpose. The crowd sounded alive again, the pacing felt tighter, and it actually felt like WrestleMania instead of whatever Night 1 was trying to be. From the jump, you could tell this…
