The shining moment of the season two opener is Varada Sethu as new companion Belinda. She’s a great choice for a new companion, someone who calls The Doctor out on the danger he poses to the companions but is having a great time with him in the first episode. Spending the first episode of the new season focusing on Belinda is a great choice and she’s written in a way that makes you relate and root for her right off the bat .

The final season of The Handmaid's Tale is filled with confusing, inconsistent and rushed character arcs that highlights the pacing issues within the season, more so with the first five episodes. June and Serena Joy feel like they have overstayed their welcome while more dynamic characters are pushed to the sidelines.

Bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) comes back from the dead, resurrected with the instruction to track, trap and send escaped demons back to Hell otherwise he returns to the torturous fate. It’s a fun series with unique demon kills that never gets tired. In the eight-episode run there is never a dull moment. It's action packed, fun, gory and has heart with the potential to be another great series for Amazon if they renew. All characters are well developed and fun to watch but it is Kevin Bacon who brings more layers to Hub and delivers the cliffhanger of the series. 

Without Matt Bomer’s natural charm and charisma, Mid-Century Modern would be a loud, tired stereotype. There are some moments where the show makes some natural attempt at humour, but it fails to land especially when delivered and helmed by Nathan Lane. There’s no variety to the performance, if you’ve seen Lane in one thing then the same character will be in every scene with little to no difference. Linda Lavin is a great addition that lifts the show up with her quick wit and delivery and is a joy to watch with Nathan Lee Graham but the series feels like it drags on too long even with the short run of 10 episodes

The most interesting things about the movie is the score and the visuals. Without them, it would be a complete bore fest. The music never feels over the top despite its grandeur and ability to make the tired parts of Holland manageable but gives a classic nostalgia feel reminiscent of classic movies which pairs nice with the visuals however nothing much else helps salvage this movie. Kidman and Macfadyen do their best, most notably Macfadyen who treads a careful line between charming and sinister, but the writing tries too hard to make for an enjoyable plot. 

The Good American Family, despite its potential, suffers from poor pacing and weaker performances. Had the titular roles of Kristine and Michael Barnett been re-casted, it could have vastly improved the series. The show's exploration of adoption, abuse, and manipulation fails to resonate with viewers, despite Imogen Faith Reid's outstanding performance.

A beautiful story about gender and religious identity, Miriam is a coming-of-age story that tackles the complexities of identity, discovering yourself and your voice in its short runtime but packs enough emotion to make every aspect of the family and their clashes feel natural and well developed. Even with an Emmy-nominated actor, the young cast shine and cultivate the characters' relationships perfectly so you feel every bit of their history. Pearl Scarlett Gold captures every nuance of Miram’s emotions, drives and showcases her differing relationship with each of her family who all have their own conflicts with each other that are perfectly crafted with very tense dinner scenes, crafted brilliantly by writer Levi Alexander and director Josie Andrews.

Camp horror-comedies can be a hard line to tread, but The Parenting does an excellent job and is funny throughout the entire film. Just when things start to get a little stale, Parker Posey’s eccentric character comes in to save it with her perilous antics and rapport with the other cast. It’s fun, unserious and a hilarious time. Everything about it makes for an absurd time in the best of ways with a cast that bounces off each other well for their comedic roles.

Control Freak is a frustrating mix of underdeveloped ideas, extended run time that could cut thirty minutes and a mix of missed potential. There are times where Control Freak could have been promised, had it been more consistent in its commitment to the horror elements.

Deli Boys is an instant favourite that is a close to perfect comedy with a bit of everything and a great cast that have exceptional comedy chemistry. The violence and comedy work together perfectly and used to elevate each other in some perfectly funny moments that so many sitcoms fail to do. It’s a great watch that easily brings you into the chaos with every character providing moments of humour thanks to the excellent cast and writing. Its original yet have moments of familiarity to ground the series in its more outrageous moments. Abdullah Saeed has created a great series that everyone will love. There are a few cameo appearances that, although brief, bring different styles of comedy and personality that make the show bigger and better.
