Netflix Month - Stranger Things Season 2 - The Lost Sister/The Mind Flayer/The Gate




We’re gonna look at the last 3 episodes of Stranger Things. Since the first episode of the 3 is the controversial standalone episode, I’ll just recap that El found her mother and saw in her memories that there may be someone else like her, someone like 8, who we saw aiding a gang of thieves in the first episode.

Mini Review - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Because the sequel is coming out next week, I've brought this review forward in the schedule.


Harry Potter has seen a resurgence in recent years. And why wouldn’t it? It’s one of the most successful book series and film franchises of all time, of course everyone would be wondering what else they’ll come up with.

Netflix Month: The Defenders - The H Word/Mean Right Hook

Phew, it’s a been big year for Marvel’s Netflix series. In 2018 they’ve brought all their individual shows up to s2 with new series of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and a shorter season of Iron Fist. And they’re yet to slow down with third series of Daredevil and Jessica Jones and another Punisher series (I’m not interested enough in the Punisher to review him, not the fault of the actor, but just the character himself)

We’ll look at Jessica Jones and Luke Cage’s second seasons next year and Iron Fist in early 2020, assuming I’m not burnt out. But before we get to that, here’s the moment this was all building to: The Defenders

After the initially positive but later mixed reception of Luke Cage and the initially negative and later mixed reception of Iron Fist, this series received mixed reception. Has Netflix lost its spark? Let’s find out as we begin Netflix Month

  
With the first 2 episodes of the Defenders.
