Missing You 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Pointless casting! Cowardly loyalty to a color palette! Smart people making dumb decisions! People living in amazing houses they could never afford! If you can get past all that, it's an easy-to-watch 5-hour-plus series with a reasonable twist.

First, the good. Rosalind Eleazar is great, as she is in everything. However, are we supposed to believe that Steve Pemberton is a genuinely menacing criminal genius? As much as I love him, he's just not. The character Aqua looks to be about 24 and was roommates with Kat's fiancé for 4 years - 11 years ago? When she was what, 9? Brendan is supposed to be 19? It's all SO DUMB. I know it's not meant to be all gritty and hyper-realistic, but please make it a little easier to suspend our disbelief. It would make some of her regrettable decisions easier to swallow.

Stars: Rosalind Eleazar, Ashley Walters, Mary Malone

And look, it was wonderful about 8 or 10 years ago when we started seeing a specific color palette being dedicated throughout a series or movie. A Cure for Wellness, for example. As a marketer, I wholeheartedly approved of it. But is it time to move on? It's almost oddly distracting.

Whatever part of England this series is set in, I want to move there. On a perfectly normal salary, I could afford a spectacular detached house with a character. And with land! I know it's probably better to see beautiful places than squashed new-build townhouses, but see my earlier request: make it easier for us to suspend our disbelief, not harder.

Honestly, if you can see past all that, it's a pretty entertaining and suspenseful series. If you've seen other Harlan Coben Netflix adaptations, it's exactly what you should expect. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, unless you're a grumpy old lady like me.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Dhurandhar's story unfolds against the backdrop of significant terrorist attacks in India, focusing particularly on harrowing incidents such as the hijacking of flight IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the devastating 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
