The latest release in the MCU TV line-up on Disney+ is Hawkeye. As the last original Avenger to get his own starring role, it’s about time we get to see him take centre stage in a rather festive, low-key series that is a great watch just before Christmas. The series is set not long after
Chucky is the latest incarnation of the red-headed murderous doll, this time in the form of an 8 episode TV series. Unlike the previous ill-advised Child’s Play reboot from 2019, this version sticks a lot more closely to the original films and aesthetics (the look of the Doll from the 2019 film is laughably bad)
Coming to Netflix from November 28, Elves is a six-part Danish series from the creators and executive producers behind The Rain. It’s a Christmas tale, but with a little touch of horror thrown in for good measure. Perfect. A family of four are travelling by ferry to a remote Danish island for a Christmas break
Cowboy Bebop is Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the Japanese anime series of the same name. I went into this having never heard of it, going solely off the recommendation of a friend who had high expectations for it.

Based on the 2014 mockumentary film of the same name, the show has surpassed all expectations with two incredibly brilliant seasons. Coming back for a third was always going to be tough and while this season is

Hot on the heels of Squid Game is Netflix’s latest binge-worthy Asian tv series, the Japanese Alice in Borderland. With similar themes, it’s hard not to draw comparisons between this and the aforementioned smash hit South Korean series, Squid Game. But with a frustratingly intriguing plot, Alice in Borderland definitely has the edge. Based on

Squid Game is the latest Netflix tv show that’s taking the streaming world by storm. Currently on track to becoming Netflix’s biggest original series of all time, is it really as good as all the hype?

Dug Days is a series of Disney Pixar shorts following on from the events of 2009’s Up, which in my opinion, is by far one of the best Pixar films ever released. Dug Days had big shoes to fill and surprisingly it manages to bring all of the heart and fun of the full-length film,

Coming to Netflix on 25th August, Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes is a vampire comedy-drama, the third Netflix title to come from Norwegian production company Motion Blue.
