The Rogue Prince Episode 2 of House of the Dragon begins just under half a year since the events that transpired last week – and there’s drama in the small council. Four ships have been lost and Corlys Velaryon is not happy. It turns out this is part of a series of attacks at shipping lanes from the Stepstones; a series of islands populated by sellswords, and led by Crabfeeder, the guy who feeds his enemies to crabs and whom we learned a little bit about last week....

Episode Guide Optical Illusion -| Review Score – 3/5 Mismatched Buttons -| Review Score – 3/5 The Wheel Comes Full Circle -| Review Score – 3.5/5 The End of the Line -| Review Score – 3/5 Anime in the horror genre hasn’t been creative in recent memory. While there are shows like Shiki, Higurashi: When They Cry, and others that have landed a spot in fans’ minds, some recent horror anime haven’t been as terrifying or grotesque as these memorable gems....

As his eyes widen and Cob struggles to keep his anger in check, the scene interweaves with Suzie running in the forest.

Episode Guide Operation Turkey Meat Sh*t and Run An Angie Is Born Lovely Lulu War of the Walkers Rock Bottom Ranger Danger Welcome Bruno A dog is a man’s best friend. Or, in the case of dog-owner Malcolm, a life companion and a partner in crime. Across 8 episodes, we’re introduced to his world, along with a handful of colourful characters and dog-related comedy to mixed effect. With a lot of the jokes revolving around dog poo and contrived left-field slapstick, It’s Bruno is a bizarre and oftentimes off-key comedy that’s certainly more of an acquired taste than it perhaps should be....

Jjamppong Episode 8 of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay marks a turning point for Kang-Tae as he seems to finally come out of his shell and lets himself feel something for Moon-Young. His character has been developed quite well so far as he has been fighting his own demons up until now. The show has been quite intense too but tackled some very important mental health issues and themes, making it quite the original Korean drama....

Haus Episode 1 of Jaguar begins with a shadowy group closing in on their suspect. Sporting numerous pictures and a brief timeline, these men are encouraged to keep vigilant in the wake of their pursuit. Their target happens to be a girl called Isabel who’s haunted by the ghosts of the past. We’re in Madrid, Spain 1962 and the memories of the holocaust are still just as raw and painful for her as they were before....

Jinn & Tonic After a promising start, Jinn begins to show its true colours as the supernatural mystery paves way for teen angst and romance that dominate much of the episode. It’s a shame too as the series certainly started brightly, despite some of the questionable acting and clear focus on tailoring this for teenagers. Although some of the effects are still quite good and the ending leaves room for this to grow, the third episode feels like a step backward....

Hot In Hawaii Filipino-American comic Jo Koy returns with another Netflix special, aptly titled Comin’ In Hot. With a variety of different accents and some topical stereotypical humour, Jo Koy delivers a fresh hour of comedy, building on the success of what’s come before. While I personally found the first half to be stronger than the second, there’s enough here to enjoy if you’ve taken to Jo Koy’s previous material before....

Jurassic Park began as an excellent Michael Crichton novel and since then, has spawned an incredible movie in Jurassic Park and mixed quality sequels from there on out, before being rebooted into the Jurassic World movies. While the story is relatively straightforward, there are certain elements to these movies that carry across, and given Dominion is boasting both the new and original cast returning, it makes sense to get up to scratch on all the lore, the running, the screaming and the dino action....

Episode Guide Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Working as a separate entity within the X-Men universe, Legion is a well written show with some very nice cinematography. Unlike its flashy, loud cousins, Legion is more methodically paced, deliberately hedonistic and at times slightly convoluted. Its not afraid to push the boundaries as displayed in its impressive pilot episode, but for all its confidence, it does feel a little too pretentious at times with the artistic vision sometimes conflicting with the overall story arc....
