The Red King (TV Series) (2024)

Publish Date: April 24, 2024
"Overall, it’s a diverting homage to the folk horror genre with some big ideas, but doesn’t quite manage to marry its crime thriller elements with its Summerisle-inspired setting."

Den of Geek
Red Eye (TV Series) (2024)

Publish Date: April 21, 2024
"You’ve seen it and enjoyed it all before, though probably without such a decent lead as Lusi, and without the specifically British East and Southeast Asian characters and stories"

Breathtaking (TV Series) (2024)

Publish Date: February 19, 2024
"A dignified drama that knows its story is powerful enough without any need for sensationalism or embellishment."

Harlan Coben's Shelter (TV Series) (2023)

Publish Date: September 13, 2023

Steeltown Murders (TV Miniseries) (2023)

Publish Date: May 15, 2023

Den of Geek
Obsession (TV Miniseries) (2023)

Publish Date: April 13, 2023
"[It] aims to be an arty, meaningful portrait of erotic obsession but turns out to be more of a boner-killer"

Den of Geek
Lockwood & Co. (TV Series) (2023)

Publish Date: January 27, 2023
"The cast is charming, the characters are likeable and their world is solidly conceived."

Den of Geek

"[6th Season Review]: The game with 'Line of Duty' at this stage is to keep the important things the same (...) while getting us hooked on a new lead and a new mystery. Episode one? Job done."
