Grade: A+ Over the past couple of weeks, I have been seduced and converted by the glory that is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It is (forgive me) quite marvellous. I shouldn’t be too surprised – it is, after all, an Amy Sherman-Palladino production, and it shares a lot of features of Gilmore Girls. Fast-paced witty…

TV Review: Titans, Season 1
Grade: A Whenever I compare two different entities, I always feel a bit like those people who used to compare the female judges on X Factor or Britain’s Got Talent. Every single year there was some sort of news report about Tulisa and Kelly Rowland, or Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, having some sort of…
TV Review: Charmed Reboot (Episodes 1 – 11)
So, I must confess…when the Charmed reboot was announced, I was simultaneously elated and filled with dread. What were they going to do with it? I wondered to myself. And on the CW? Then came the pictures of the leads and they didn’t look quite right. And the previews of the episodes seemed strange and foreign. I…

Mary, Queen of Scots: An enchanting and captivating period piece
Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan excel in this gritty and compelling historical drama as the rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots is re-examined. I have been anticipating this film for the better part of a year and it did not disappoint. It helps that the Tudors is my favourite period of English…
“I Can Read You Like The Top Line of an Optician’s Chart” – Colette: A Review
A surprisingly modern period piece, Colette is carried by its relatable heroin masterfully portrayed by Keira Knightley. Now, there was a time where I felt oversaturated by another film starring Keira Knightley. Love Actually and the Pirates of the Carribean franchise rocketed Knightley into worldwide recognition and there came a point where I was tired of seeing her face…
Company
On the 11th January 2019, I went to see Company at the Gielgud Theatre, London. Right off the bat, it’s important to note that this production is significant for altering the gender of multiple of the lead characters. Regardless of the reasonings behind the production team’s change in the gender of these characters, I think…
My tendency to overindulge (also hello)
I have an addictive personality. Mark Goodwin, Just now I have an addictive personality. There. I said it. I’m glad I got that out the way quickly. This can be observed by the fact that, upon discovering that the TV show Doctor Who had a rich history preceding Christopher Eccleston (wait what? That TV programme was older…
