ITV's Grace continues to deliver its signature blend of suspense and emotional depth with its latest episode, 'Find Them Dead'. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, portrayed by John Simm, faces a high-pressure trial to bring down a ruthless drug lord, all while grappling with personal tragedies that add layers to his character.
The episode intertwines a gripping courtroom drama with a tense investigation into a double murder. As Grace and his team delve deeper into the case, they uncover a web of crime involving drug trafficking, blackmail, and a chilling murder of an innocent young couple. The narrative is both compelling and emotionally charged, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Visuals are captivating, moody and powerful.
All the starring cast are excellent in particular Shaun Dooley, but John Simm's portrayal of Roy Grace remains a standout. His nuanced performance captures the complexities of a detective grappling with personal loss while remaining dedicated to his work. The character's evolution, adds a layer of humanity to the gritty narrative.

Love both the Witcher books and the games, watching The Witcher series on Netflix has been a rollercoaster - in the best way possible. From the start, it threw us into a world of monsters, mages, and moral ambiguity, and honestly, I've loved (almost) every chaotic minute of it.
Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia was absolutely perfect - gruff, brooding, but also deeply human under all that Witcher toughness. His departure after Season 3 still stings a bit. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer has been a force of nature - fierce, vulnerable, and incredibly compelling. And Freya Allan's Ciri? Watching her evolve from a scared child to a powerful, sword-wielding warrior has been one of the best parts of the show.
Jaskier deserves his own spin-off. His songs? Instant bangers. "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" still lives rent-free in my head.
Yes, the timeline jumps in Season 1 were confusing, but they added a layer of mystery that I really enjoyed. The worldbuilding is rich and immersive - from the political intrigue of Nilfgaard to the magic systems and ancient lore, there's always something fascinating around the corner. Not to mention the breathtaking scenery and the monster designs, which ooften look straight out of a horror film.
Let's be real - not every episode hits, and sometimes the pacing is all over the place. Some fans (me included) have felt that the show occasionally drifts too far from its source material. Still, when it leans into the gritty, morally grey fantasy that defines The Witcher universe, it absolutely shines.

As a long-time fan of The White Lotus, I approached Season 3 with high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Set in Thailand, this season delves deeper into the complexities of identity, spirituality, and the human condition, all while maintaining the show's signature blend of dark humor and social commentary.
The choice of Thailand as the backdrop was inspired. The lush landscapes, serene temples, and vibrant markets provided a stunning contrast to the internal turmoil of the characters. The cinematography was exceptional, capturing both the beauty and the underlying tension of the setting. The incorporation of Thai rock, pop, and dance music further enriched the atmosphere, enhancing the show's immersive experience.
