Clean Slate is an easy watch with its light-hearted and accepting undertone mixed with the over-dramatic antics of the residents of Mobile, Alabama. Laverne Cox perfectly carries the glamours and over the top Desiree with extravagant moments of exaggerated comedy that fit her and the plot well, but the best moments come from Laverne Cox and George Wallace who, by contrast, is much more grounded and grumpier. It’s a classic combination that works well for comedy duos but updated with themes of self-discovery and change that make Clean Slate an easy comforting watch. The only thing letting the series down is the short eight episode count and twenty-minute runtime, more episodes would allow for the comedy to thrive more and make the series more memorable.

As a police drama, On Call utilises technical aspects to ensure that it stands apart from other titles in the genre and uses creative camera work to make you feel the weight of every action and decision made by the characters. The short episode runtime makes for a well-paced and action driven series led by Troian Bellisario and Brandon Larracuente.

American Primeval is visually appealing but has too many storylines simultaneously. The convoluted storylines could have offered rich, complex stories with a visually beautiful backdrop, with excellent performance across the board, but American Primeval’s focus lacks the depth in comparison to the rest of the ensemble.

Mayfair Witches fails to delve into anything interesting and quickly moves past anything compelling. There’s no focus or cohesive plot with characters that offer nothing to the story despite being leads. Ted Levine and Alyssa Jirrels are the best part of the series but a lack of energy from the rest of it makes for a dull second season.

If it were not for the chemistry of Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, this movie would be a slog to get through. Their chemistry carries a generic, weak script and boring characters to salvage the movie, but it falls flat on all other aspects.

Spellbound is a captivating, animated film that explores the struggles of teenager Ellian, as the film beautifully depicts the themes of the desire for normalcy. Despite its intended younger audience, Spellbound may struggle to hold their attention due to its heavy-handed themes and pacing.
