As the curtains close on the year 2022, I believe it’s only fair that we take a look back at the spectacles that have graced our screens, some gave us hope for the future and what 2023 has to offer whilst others have concluded on a high note. With so many series to watch on an array of streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, Disney+ and so much more, making this list of Top 5 series would prove to be a challenge. This a challenge I accept regardless of whether this list is correct or not. These are the Top 5 series that have had…

The Boys: Season 3
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time. Today we’ll be reviewing the most real, controversial, jaw-dropping series about superheroes, celebrities, and political satire by creator Eric Kripke of The Boys: Season 3. The Boys, honest to god, is a one-of-a-kind series that doesn’t shy away from the truth and lets its audience know straight out the bat what their favorite celebrities are actually like when not in front of the cameras.

Dark: Season 3
Program Creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s third season of Dark is the perfect portrayal of a tragic story with no actual happy ending for the people of Winden. Season three of Dark has been a journey and a half with all the years we traveled back and forth from and all the revelations that connect the series to its first and second seasons. The first episode of season three is no doubt slow, so slow I passed out and had the best sleep in years lol… We pick up from right where we left off, with Jonas and the alternative Martha from a different world…

Stranger Things: Season 4 – Part 1
The Duffer brothers, Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer have come back with the latest epic season of Stranger Things and it has hit the community by storm. Stranger Things season four is undoubtedly the best yet: and I don’t mean to downplay the previous season however, comparing seasons three to four is as if comparing Hydrox to Oreo. Sure they look alike but Oreo just hits different and if you’re guessing which one is which, Oreo is the fourth season. The production quality of this season is incredible, the cinematography beautiful, pacing and structure of each episode are more than an hour-long, which is insane but gold considering that…

Dark: Season 2
Ladies and Gentlemen, I just finished watching the second season of “Dark” and I have a lot to talk about this season’s finale. First of all, let me say, all of my reviews are based on own my perspective about the show, I’m neither trying to be right nor wrong with my reviews, I am simply sharing my opinion and view from my point of view. With that out of the way, let us begin. Season two of Dark was a thriller from beginning to end, with twists and turns in every episode, authentic, and then some shady questionable moments in others but none had me like the…

Sex Education: Season 3
Ladies and Gentle can we agree that the third season of “Sex Education” has gone far and beyond and in my opinion, should be considered the best season thus far. Program creator Laurie Nunn and writers – Mawaan Rizwan, Laura Neal, Sophie Goodhart, Bisha K. Ali, Freddy Syborn, and Laura Hunter have delivered another successful season of one of Netflix’s beloved series, starting with the captivating season visuals. This season has without a doubt delivered on its focus on teens coming to age and growing into young adults, taking the future into their own hands, and taking responsibility for their actions. Never have I enjoyed Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric’s…
