• Look Out For… April

  • Netflix Review: Maniac

    This latest Netflix miniseries combines an all-star cast and a strong science fiction element to provide an intriguing interpretation of the future, while deftly balancing a very personal exploration of mental health.

They have the same accidental comedic tone and similarly endearing male protagonists – I would go so far as to describe them as the catalysts for the way...
