A gripping and intense miniseries, Adolescence explores youth violence, toxic masculinity, and online radicalization through the story of a family shattered when their son is accused of murder. Shot in single-take episodes, it pulls viewers into its raw, real-time tension. Stephen Graham delivers a heartbreaking performance, while Owen Cooper brings haunting depth to the role of Jamie.

Mother Father Sister Brother Frank 2024
A dark comedy that tries too hard but ends up feeling predictable and shallow. Mother Father Sister Brother Frank leans on tired tropes, with characters that feel more like caricatures than real people. Despite a few entertaining moments, the story unfolds exactly as expected, making for a forgettable and uninspired watch.

Cassandra 2025
A tense and atmospheric German sci-fi thriller, Cassandra explores the dark side of smart technology. When a family moves into a 1970s-era smart home, they awaken Cassandra, an AI assistant with a vintage worldview and a desperate need for companionship. Lavinia Wilson's portrayal of Cassandra is both unsettling and poignant, capturing the AI's yearning to be part of the family. The series skillfully blends retro aesthetics with modern fears, creating a chilling narrative about technology and isolation. While it occasionally leans into familiar genre tropes, its unique premise and strong performances make it a compelling watch.

Presence 2024
Presence (2024) has an eerie atmosphere and a solid central performance, but itβs held back by awkward dialogue and writing that sometimes undercuts the tension. The concept is intriguing, and the cinematography sells the unease, but the script feels clunky in spots, making some scenes unintentionally stiff. Itβs watchable and has its moments, but it doesnβt fully capitalize on its potential. 3/5.
