First episode you think oh my world this is going to be an amazing series, then you think ok it's slowing down which is normal not every series can be packed full of drama. I found myself really looking forward to finishing it. Not because it was so amazing but because I wanted a bit more drama.

I really enjoyed the first season of Discovery of Witches. You can easily get into watching the TV show. The characters are played well and the storyline is very good. Based on the All Souls Trilogy. Can't wait for Season 2!

"Woody Allen’s first drama. Beige, beige, beige, grey. Geraldine Page plays an interior decorator, it’s the only aspect of her life she has a full grasp of. A piece about aging and leaving a mark."

"Okay, maybe one more costume drama, but what a one it is. Bertolucci is a favorite of mine, and this is one of those majestic films that remind you how powerful the medium can be."

I loved watching Eleven come out of her shell! The season had action, emotion, drama, and happiness. The perfect blend. I'll be excited to see if they create a 3rd and what it will evolve into.

Them That Follow (2019)
2019 | Thriller
Them That Follow offers a unique and, at times, thought-provoking story. However, its execution lacks impact and turns this original drama into something that’s largely forgettable.

Period gothic drama on superstition v science
A very good modern period gothic drama about how a town can convince itself about a mythical beast while confronting contemporary science.

In the centre of the entire story is a beautiful but complex relationship between a woman of science and a priest who on most occasions disagree with one another but learn to come to terms with each other's viewpoints. And in between their relationship is a withering wife and her autistic son. A multilayered novel rich with substance.

Still not a patch on the first series, but a very gripping drama following the investigation of a rape in a small rural west country town. Very emotional scenes and the whole ordeal was very well handled.

There’s something for everyone: a domestic drama that unfolds in a picture-perfect suburb, a psychological thriller set in 19th-century Ireland, a history of improv comedy, even a heist novel that takes place on the moon.

This season is going to be awesome for book lovers. Entertainment Weekly has put together some irresistible new books from some of our favourite authors.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
1987 | Action, Drama, War
Kubrick's legendary war drama depicting a harsh view of humanity and a study of individual limits. It goes beyond the typical horrors of war films and shook our proverbial souls, like Kubrick was a master of achieving.
