The Black List

A rough-around-the-edges thriller/procedural that has a solid enough core premise to keep you trudging through until it properly finds its feet.

Elemental

A little blunt and lacking character depth, but the animation is beautiful and the core themes are solid. At the end of the day, it made me cry, even if it didn't really make me think.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

How has it taken this long for someone to pair Wes Andersen with Roald Dahl again? Beautifully staged whimsy.

Welcome to the Jungle

Not even a surprisingly solid cast can lift this distinctly D-tier plot above a confident "meh", though the action sequences are pretty out-there.

Ahsoka

A beautifully shot, narratively rich, and faithful expansion of the Clone Wars and Rebels plot lines, characters, and ideas.

Prep and Landing

A competent story wrapped up in some very fun gags and a heap of Christmas cheer.

Jack Ryan

The first season is great. The casting makes sense once you realise that it's more nuanced than expected. Unfortunately, the subsequent seasons do not live up to the same standard.

Reacher

A rocky plot and corny "cool" dialogue improved by excellent casting and a core rock of a leading man.

Treasure Planet

A clever sci-fi adaptation that strays surprisingly little from the original source – possibly not enough.

Bloons TD 6

Finally, a tower defence game that feels fun. Solid multiplayer is the bonus cherry on top!

Ghosted

A predictable plot, a fun cast, and some solid choreography create a perfectly middle of the road film.

Loki

One of the MCU's best characters stars in one of the MCU's best TV shows. A mind-melding adventure filled with twists, laughs, and mysteries.
