Maigret (2025) starts off moody and just a little uncanny.
Benjamin Wainwright is magnetic as the new Jules Maigret, a detective who doesn’t just solve crimes but studies people.

I didn’t expect Down Cemetery Road to be this good. It’s about a cozy British suburb hiding a full-on conspiracy thriller? Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson are so good together.

The Rainmaker (2025) has everything: sharp legal drama, messy characters, courtroom chaos. It’s smart, frustrating, and seriously fun.

I watched the Talamasca: The Secret Order pilot and I’m intrigued. It’s slower than Interview With the Vampire, but it’s so far richer than Mayfair Witches. It's full of atmosphere, mystery, and some seriously juicy secrets waiting to be unearthed.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 proves that a prequel can hit just as hard as the main series. Loved the animation, the emotional depth, and Yuuta Okkotsu. Read my full review: 🖤✨

Boots on Netflix is one of the most grounded and emotional pilots I’ve seen all year. It’s raw, funny, and moving. It has grit and heart.

Finally started Season 2 of Murder in a Small Town and it kicks off with cozy crime vibes, Karl’s world expanding, and Cassandra facing new challenges. Guest stars, character drama, and a hint of mystery, it’s good to be back in Gibsons. 🌊

I read The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White, what a ride! 🪖 Smart, funny, and deeply human, it’s a memoir about survival, self-discovery, and belonging in the unlikeliest of places.

Will Trent season 3 (I just finished the season) doesn’t just deliver a crime story, it delivers heart. From emotional family reveals to sharp humor and one of the best finales I’ve seen in a while, this season hits different.

My Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 review is live!

Dark fantasy, insane fights, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, this anime earns every bit of its hype.

I rewatched Solo Leveling season 2, wow. Between Baruka’s fight, Beru’s debut, and Jinwoo flexing against S-ranks, the animation & soundtrack hit another level.

But…Hae-In’s treatment still annoys me.

The Quiet Son () is a haunting French drama that isn’t about politics so much as it’s about love, and how fragile it can be when ideology takes hold.

The new Lynley adaptation starts off a little slow, but I found myself enjoying the character dynamics more than the mystery. 🕵️‍♂️✨​

Leo Suter as Lynley? Perfect casting. Sofia Barclay as Havers? Solid. I’m here for the vibes.

I read The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness. 🖤 It expands Diana Bishop’s family lore and dives deeper into dark magic, but it often feels more like setup than a full story.

Infinity Castle floored me. I thought it’d just be a feast of flashy animation (and it is 👀), but the real surprise is how emotional it gets. Backstories, losses, and heartbreaks that linger long after the credits.

It doesn’t take much to break a person, just enough lies, just enough betrayal.
Wilderness captures that descent in a way that can feel way too close to home.

Butterfly pulled in me from the opening scene, but it isn't just about espionage. It's messy family ties with fast-paced, and high-stakes spy games.

Rewatched Solo Leveling season 1 and wow… this is how you adapt a web novel. Faithful to Chugong’s story, thrilling fights, and yes, the hype moments deliver.

I finished Wednesday season 2 and wow, this show knows how to balance gothic mystery, humor, and heart. Ortega and Myers outdid themselves. But the two parts didn't help with the perception of this 2nd season🖤

We all say what we would never do, until the world throws something impossible at us.
Wheel of Time gets it. And it doesn’t hold back.
