WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO ON NETFLIX IN 2017!!

From supernatural love-letters to esoteric sci-fi, Netflix became a genuine powerhouse of modern television last year. Looking ahead to the coming twelve months, 2017 is set to be even bigger. Here are the best new and returning shows to watch out for. 

 Better Call Saul (Season 3)

What is it? Well if you didn't already know The Breaking Bad spin-off has evolved into its own cult hit, following erratic small-time lawyer James McGill years before his rebirth as Saul Goodman.

Moving, funny and tense in equal measure, it has picked up a following almost as fervent as that for its older sibling – and deservedly so. 

 When can I watch it? February

Iron Fist

What is it? Superhero fatigue may be testing your patience on the big screen. But television allows creators to experiment with the formula much more. Marvel on Netflix has given us the action-packed Daredevil, the hard-hitting Jessica Jones and the subversive Luke Cage, and Iron Fist has been described by producer Jeff Loeb as “Marvel’s foray into martial arts films”.

When can I watch it? March 17

House of Cards (Season 5)


What is it? The political powerhouse returns, and rumour has it that it’ll be bringing in a fresh character heavily influenced by a certain new President. Whether we see Frank Underwood adopting similarly populist tactics remains to be seen. But you can be sure that the usual scheming will be on display. 

When can I watch it? Spring 2017 (TBC)

Stranger Things (Season 2)

What is it? Speaking of which, Stranger Things was Netflix’s runaway smash-hit last year, so it’s no surprise that production on a second season is well underway. It’s set to pick up directly after the first season, taking viewers back to the town of Hawkins and the strange goings on of the Upside Down. 

 When can I watch it? Late 2017

Black Mirror

What is it? Charlie Brooker’s near-future satire anthology found a new home on Netflix last year, but it only gave us half of the planned 12 episodes. This year sees the remaining half-dozen land. Jodie Foster has been drafted in to direct an episode, and the makers are teasing more “exciting news” in the near future. 

 When can I watch it? Late 2017 (TBC)

Ozark

What is it? Jason Bateman directs, produces and stars in this new drama that is being tipped by some as the new Breaking Bad (I doubt that). About a money launderer for a drug cartel, it certainly sounds seedy enough to challenge for Walter White’s crown. 

 When can I watch it? 2017 TBA

 A Series Of Unfortunate Events 

What is it? Based on the international best-selling novel's by Lemony Snicket aka (Daniel Handler), adapted for tv a series of unfortunate events follows 3 young children who lose there parents in a horrible "accident", After the loss of their parents in a mysterious fire, the three Baudelaire children face trials and tribulations attempting to uncover dark family secrets.

When can I watch it? 13th January 2017

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

Image
• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
