Arrested Development

A great cast and some genuinely entertaining (albeit farcical) plot lines, but never really captured my imagination or triggered my funny bone. Perfectly watchable.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis

Good animation but stifled of time to tell its story whilst making some rough decisions around plot points means this is a low point in the DC:AU.

The Hitman's Bodyguard

A surprisingly self-aware romp with two excellent actors having a lot of fun, paired with a plot that was surprisingly not awful. A solid attempt.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

A brilliantly paced, excellently acted, and seriously funny film. In other words: excellent.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Brilliant, campy, hyper-violent goodness that expands on the original world with some interesting new angles; a perfectly sarcastic sequel.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

A largely pointless entry to a franchise that appears to have run out of ideas. Its sole purpose is to set up a sequel that sounds awful.

21 Jump Street

A ridiculous comedy with some surprising nuance that actually manage to be a half-decent satire of the excessive buddy cop movies of the past. Exceed expectations.

Swimming With Men

A comic deep-dive (pun intended) into modern questions about masculinity and what it means to be a white, middle-aged man. Sounds tedious, is actually rather refreshing, endearing, and grin-worthy.

Star Trek: Discovery

A bold new direction for a beloved franchise. It falters a little, but the characters it creates are interesting and the stories are solidly entertaining. For fans, a worthy watch; for everyone else, enjoyable enough.

The Man in the High Castle

A brutally tense and depressing show with a great cast of characters, some exceptional plot lines, and beautiful cinematography. The sci-fi is still a little odd, but the alt-history is intriguing and the world-building brilliant.

Big Mouth

A surprisingly intelligent dissection of adolescence, puberty, and high school with a dark and lewd sense of humour that has utterly won me over.
