Show Me the Bodies, Peter Apps

A stunning and vital piece of journalism. The sheer failure of the state to protect its citizens is appalling, as is the indifference shown to the victims and survivors. Shame on the UK gov, the council in question and all those who sought profit over safety. 

Asteroid City, Wes Anderson

My least favourite WeAn movie. The bits actually in Asteroid City were fine, I think, but the rest was an indulgent snore.

Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski

Tom Cruise is extremely Tom Cruise. There’s so much in this movie that is deeply silly but somehow it all works. Also I love how often they say the phrase “fifth generation fighter” in the movie.

Aqua Trope on White Sand, season one

A beautiful and gentle series. Very much cute girls (and a few token boys) being cute, but with penguins and other sea critters. Surprisingly nuanced in parts about the role and value of aquariums.

Plate Up, It’s happening

Stressful and chaotic multiplayer fun. More of a focus on automation than, say, Overcooked, and so less of a casual experience. But enjoyable if you know what you’re getting into.

Ripley, season one

Andrew Scott is thrilling, charming, disturbing, human and monstrous all in equal measure in this excellent adaption. Also, Italy is very beautiful.

Supacell, season one

I don’t often love superhero stuff, but this smart, modern take was stylish, fun, and well-paced. Perhaps I just don’t want to see generic US superhero stuff?
