Fallout: Review

Fallout is a fantastic series that stays true to the beloved video game series while standing on its own two feet. Having characters like Lucy MacLean and The Ghoul lead the show offers viewers rare different perspectives of a harsh world while still seeing the hope of a future that was despite the weaker storyline of the Brotherhood of Steel, this is a must watch and a new take on the post-apocalyptic genre.

We Were the Lucky Ones: Review

At its heart, this is a story about a family with exceptional luck and resourcefulness who will fight for survival in any way they can. The cast of characters gives varied accounts of what happened during this time and, showcased in their varied ways, gives a detailed, emotional journey that provides deep characterisation with one of the most horrific acts as the background.

Palm Royale: Review

With its captivating first five episodes that will leave viewers wanting more, Palm Royale had a lot of potential. Sadly, the writing in the later episodes deteriorates and the plots almost seem ridiculous. Some characters aren't used as much in the latter half of the season, and the abrupt conclusion will only make you frustrated that a lot of time was wasted on plots that didn’t go anywhere.

Manhunt: Review

Based on the New York Times bestseller from James L. Swanson, Manhunt is a gripping thriller that follows the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and the hunt for John Wilkes Booth. It is a perfectly crafted story that draws you into the conspiracy and delivers strong emotional performances that is another win for Apple TV in their growing list of successes.

Mary & George: Review

An intriguing show unlike other period dramas that is both sinister and seductive, showing the duplicitous nature of the characters and that there are no boundaries when it comes to political ascension. Marketing promised scenes of a salacious nature with George and the King but it is the political climb of the Villers and incredible nuanced performances with outrageous turns that make the series nothing like typical period dramas.

The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy: Review

The Second-Best Hospital in the Galaxy had potential to be a big hit like Amazon’s other animated series, but lacks personality due to repetitive humour. Despite its flaws, Culkin and Rudoph's characters and interesting patients lift the show out of mediocrity, but not enough to engage its viewers. The Second-Best Hospital in the Galaxy is an easy watch, but has nothing of comedic or storyline substance.

One Day: Review

A beautifully told tale that is about a close friendship filled with yearning, love and resentment at times. While the big moments in life are never seen, the characters' growth and adapting to life shapes the story in a way that will leave you engrossed and aching.

Masters of the Air: Review

A visually stunning account of the Bloody Hundred’s time in service that does not glorify war but adopts a character driven approach to offer something new. It doesn’t pick up until the second half of the season with too much time is spent on repetitive narrative structure when a deeper exploration between the Hundredth and the fighter pilots could have offered more than brief appearances in the final two episodes.
