The Next Generation

The classic evolution, which holds up remarkably well.

Jack Ryan

The first season is great. The casting makes sense once you realise that it's more nuanced than expected. Unfortunately, the subsequent seasons do not live up to the same standard.

Assassins Creed: Odyssey

A beautiful and highly entertaining ride through ancient Greece, let down slightly by a janky start and some lacklustre writing in parts, but still hugely enjoyable and fun.

The QI Annual

Just listen to No Such Thing as a Fish if you want some additional QI knowledge and fact-finding. This ain't it.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

So. Many. References! And yet it still hangs together (just about).

Role Play

Hard to fault, but also hard to praise. A completely fine piece of entertainment.

Elemental

A little blunt and lacking character depth, but the animation is beautiful and the core themes are solid. At the end of the day, it made me cry, even if it didn't really make me think.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

How has it taken this long for someone to pair Wes Andersen with Roald Dahl again? Beautifully staged whimsy.

Welcome to the Jungle

Not even a surprisingly solid cast can lift this distinctly D-tier plot above a confident "meh", though the action sequences are pretty out-there.

Ahsoka

A beautifully shot, narratively rich, and faithful expansion of the Clone Wars and Rebels plot lines, characters, and ideas.

Prep and Landing

A competent story wrapped up in some very fun gags and a heap of Christmas cheer.

Reacher

A rocky plot and corny "cool" dialogue improved by excellent casting and a core rock of a leading man.
