» With the premise of a dysfunctional family in a small coastal town entangled in criminal dealings under the guise of protecting their legacy, The Waterfront, Netflix's new original series, tries to blend slow-burn crime drama with bursts of action and emotional intensity. Across eight episodes, however, the show struggles to distinguish itself from a growing list of similarly themed dramas, despite its efforts to offer gritty realism and familial tension.

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience. That isn't to say the latest Prime Video mystery thriller is a bad series -- far from it -- but it struggles to stand out in a genre already saturated with stronger contenders. We've probably seen a dozen shows that handled similar material with more finesse and momentum.

» The American psychological thriller You returns for a fifth and final season on Netflix, bringing our charming stalker/serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) back to New York City.

So, if you haven't watched this season -- or the entire series -- you might want to come back later.

But Time Cut, Netflix's latest teen slasher, attempts to elevate this well-worn genre by adding a twist of sci-fi and time travel.

» A revival can be a boon or a bane, but one can't predict whether the show can recreate the same magic with a new audience as it first did when staged decades ago. Fortunately, this is not the case for Dreambox's Oonlamaan Lung Baan Saithong (Chaos Behind The Golden Sand Mansion), which recently made a comeback after 18 years. The audience, who partook in its opening night last Friday to celebrate its 100th show, left the venue with beaming smiles.

» Veteran filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda became known after winning the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival for the crime drama Shoplifters despite having directed films and TV series for nearly three decades. Renowned for his gentle sense of pacing, simple yet beautiful cinematography, and a focus on the complexities of family relationships, he showcased his skills in previous works such as After The Storm (2016), Like Father, Like Son (2013) and Nobody Knows (2004). However, the one that has stuck in my mind to this day is Our Little Sister (2015), a female-focused drama that gave us a cosy, heartwarming family story, along with rich cultural and beautiful vistas of the Japanese countryside.
