Episode Guide This Isn’t Real Nice Neighborhood Beware The Cannibals The Exit The Damage The Hollow Girl The first season of Channel Zero made for a pleasantly surprising good show. The well written script featured some genuinely unnerving scenes that solidified its place as a decent horror that did justice to its source material – creepypastas (internet short stories). The second season wastes no time sinking its teeth into a brand new plot, this time revolving around a strange haunted house aptly named The No-End House....

The Hedge Witches Episode 6 of Season 3 begins where we left off with all the hedge witches arriving, angry to have been summoned. Zelda defends herself by explaining that the pagans are threatening them and that they’re in danger too. As they have drinks together, Zelda offers the academy as a place for them to reside in exchange for their help. In Hell, Lilith receives a warning gift from the Dark Lord which scares her and causes her to go into hiding....

The Sister Episode 1 of Clickbait Season 1 begins with a family birthday dinner. Everything goes awry though when Pia lashes out over her big brother Nick getting her Mum the wrong present. Or at least the wrong present in her eyes. After ruining the entire evening, selfish Pia skips out, heading off to get drunk and establishing herself as the absolute worst character in this show. After dropping her phone in the toilet (karma, perhaps?...

For all its originality, ‘Colossal’ never feels like anything but an average film that feels lost between genres. There’s hints of comedy but its not that funny. There’s touches of science fiction but it doesn’t feel like a sci fi. There’s some dramatic scenes but it never feels like a character driven drama. It’s such a strange one to review because in many ways I can’t fault Director Nacho Vigalondo’s desire to step out the box and try something new....

Episode Guide Surveillance Poop Dust Digits Clouds Nukes Interesting, informative and quirky, Connected is a documentary series on Netflix that’s very easy to dip in and out of. It’s also an incredibly polarizing watch, with an eccentric and oftentimes dumbfounded narrator. This consequently means people will either instantly warm to or instantly turn away from this series. The basic premise of Connected is certainly intriguing and features a great hook. Science journalist Latif Nasser takes on an almost child-like fascination to the world as he enthusiastically looks at the world....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7K0gNjmbqg A Sequel Lacking Flair To Pull Off Its Original Premise There’s no denying that Cult Of Chucky is full of original ideas and a willingness to push the franchise forward. The trouble is everything around that revels in B movie mediocrity and lacks the flair and cohesiveness needed to pull off its promising premise. The cursing, murderous doll Chucky returns once again, voiced by the excellent Brad Dourif, but the unresolved plot and underdeveloped characters make this a disappointing showing, even if the film does settle into a good rhythm late on and has fun through the latter periods of its run time....

The Wolves Episode 6 of Curon begins with Anna’s doppelganger forcing the real Anna to pack her things up and move. As they drive, Anna 2 realizes that she’s trying to use her phone and subsequently crashes the car, throwing the phone away and taking her to the cabin. There, she begins cutting her hair to look exactly like Anna. As Anna 2 threatens her counterpart, Anna demands she reveal everything she knows about the kids....

The Red Lake Morgana & The Church Episode 4 of Cursed begins with Morgana hitting herself with a rock; a ploy to make it seem like Nimue overpowered and knocked her out. When she’s brought back to the church, Abbess Nora is exiled and thrown into a carriage as Iris watches on, desperate to gain entry into the Red Paladin ranks. Realizing that she has no place in the church anymore, Morgana enlists the help of fellow nun – and lover – Celia and prepares to leave for greener pastures....

A Sombre End To A Stunning Series Regarded as one of the most majestic and well loved of the big cats, Tigers are also one of the most endangered species in the world. Dynasties’ final episode follows these creatures and in particular, mother Raj Bhera, as she tries to steer her newborn cubs through the trials and tribulations of the natural world. While the episode lacks the action and excitement previous episodes managed to conjure, the final episode of Dynasties is a timeless reminder of how precious our world is and the very real danger that species like this could soon be extinct....

Dear Doctor, I’m Coming for Soul Episode 9 Dear Doctor, I’m Coming for Soul blends more serious hospital drama with a tinge of light romantic BL drama. The central character here is Dr. Prakam, a well-known surgeon dedicated to saving people’s lives. However, while doing his job he’s frequented by Death, who shows up to try and take the souls of the people this doctor is trying to save. While Death tries to collect these poor souls, Dr Prakam works to save those lives before they fall into Death’s grip....

Devil We begin episode 1 of Detention with a lesson about the three principles of a country, courtesy of President Chiang’s teachings. One of the students there looks outside and sees Counselor Chang Min-Hui and student Wei Chung-Ting taken away and arrested. A few days later, another students called Ms. Fang falls to her death from the school roof. Who could have done this? What caused it? Could it be ghosts?...

The Dawning What happened to Mae? Where is she? Episode 8 of Devil in Ohio marks this finale with us over at the Dodd household. Malachi speaks to his crow, believing it’s time to enact his plan. Now, it turns out Mae is actually over at the Dodd residence, back in Amon Town after being snatched up by Sherriff Wilkins.

Russian Intelligence Following Sergei’s reveal, a shocked Lilly opens episode 2 of Devs by sitting with Forest and discussing the idea of death.

Crescendo Episode 16 of Do You Like Brahms begins with Joon-Young and Song-A discussing their feelings, with the latter asking him to wait until she’s ready. Ironically this is the same message Joon-Young told Song-A earlier in the show. As Joon-Young heads home, Hyun-Ho shows up with some chicken, hugging him tightly. This paves way for our quartet up on stage to perform in memory of Director Na. Song-A, of course, acts as the page-turner....

Episode Guide The Kid With A Dog Bravo, Zeus Ice on the Water Scissors Down Territorio de Zeguates Second Chances Going into Netflix’s documentary series about man’s best friend, I have a confession to make. I’m a cat person through and through. Now, having admitted this I can confidently say Dogs is one of the most heartwarming documentaries released in quite some time, one that does a fantastic job showing our deep rooted relationship with our canine companions....

A Brilliantly Brutal Best-Of-The-Year Doom Eternal is a bloody good game. It’s a violent, gory, adrenaline-soaked descent into the hellish depths of your nightmare but it does so with such finesse and style that it’s easy to forget how well-designed and complex this game actually is. Between the 12 hour campaign, the plethora of collectables and the evolving combat that organically adds layers of challenge over time, Doom Eternal is hands down one of the best first person shooters of 2020 and, dare I say, a top contender for game of the year....

Once More With Feeling One of the best things about Doom Patrol is its ability to constantly subvert expectations and deliver some crazy plot ideas in the process. Doom Patrol’s latest episode is no exception. We begin with a solitary agent going in search of a strange sentient being called Danny. It turns out this gender-queer, teleporting street is being hunted by the Bureau of Normalcy. Once he arrives at the street, all is not what it seems and after disappearing, the rest of the agents show up only to find a blank lot where the street once was....

How To Train Your Chimera How To Train Your Dragon is, in theory, a movie franchise rife for decent video game adaptations. With plenty of lore, world building and material to draw on across both the TV and film platforms, it’s surprising then that the games haven’t managed to take advantage of this as much as they should. Despite some fun dungeon crawling mechanics and a simple, original story, New Riders fails to deliver a compelling and memorable experience, devolving too often into the usual tropes you’d expect from this sort of movie tie-in....
